"To visualize is to see what is not there, what is not real -- a dream. 
To visualize is, in fact, to make visual lies. Visual lies,
however, have a way of coming true."
- Peter McWilliams
Creative Visualization
What’s the difference between Creative Visualization & Day Dreaming?
Creative Visualization is such a fun tool & can be combined with all other tools you use. Keith Randolph defined Creative Visualization best in his book ‘Truth about Creative Visualization’:

"Creative visualization involves the fashioning of an image in the conscious mind and the charging (and constant recharging) of that image by the enormous psychic energy of the unconscious."

Creative Visualization is very different from day dreaming in that Creative Visualization is done in the first person and the present tense -as if the visualized scene were unfolding all around you.  Whereas normal daydreaming is done in the third person and the future tense - as if the “you” of the daydream is a puppet with the real “you” watching from afar.

This tool is used by top performers everywhere to gain that winning edge and create the reality they desire. You can use it too - And you should!  You can affect the inner & outer world just by changing the images in your mind.

The Video below is really about visualization in general not just sports. It really the best video to start you on your way.

Start Now:

Make a decision about what you really want on any subject.  (Making a decision is very powerful)

Relax your body, quite your mind and focus on your breath.

Now use your imagination to visualize (use all of the senses i.e., what do you see? what do you feel? what do you hear? what does it smell like?) the specific results you desire. 

Then visualize it over and over and over… again. 

Believe 'if you are able to imagine it - the Universe has the ability to make it happen - and Will'
