Thinking Like You’ve Already Made It!

As touched upon in yesterday’s post, attitude is key in developing the mindset, habits and personality that is required to meet goals. We are sure that you have heard the phrase, “fake it ‘til you make it”, but what we recommend is going beyond that. With your constant visualisations each morning and week as you set and reflect upon your plans, actions and goals, you are aligning your attitude with the certainty of fulfilling these dreams. What we tend to advise is a clear visualisation of how you would feel when you arrive at the moment when you recognise that you have accomplished a goal. Then you bring that emotion into the present and you allow that confidence and assurance to remain in your mood-set for the day. You have the knowledge that this is a part of your plan and your story – thus, your confidence, satisfaction, self-esteem and anticipation all build to support a new ‘you’ that is already borrowing that excitement from your certain future. It mirrors the feeling of booking a well-deserved holiday a few months in advance; every time you think about it, you feel lighter, happier and certain that you will enjoy it. The anticipation brings so much joy, relaxation and happiness for that longer period of time. Harness this practice with your goals and you will see a marked improvement in your moods and sense of motivation in your journey to your goals.
