Visualization And Your Vision Board

Visualization is the process of imagining and creating imagery in your mind that will help you plan and set action to a specific goal.

Your brain is a very maleable organ that is physical changing when it learns and experiences new things. After much repetition around visualizing the same goals and actions, the brain will not physically discern the difference between actually moving and imagining movements. Making it easier for you to attain goals when practicing visualization in the learning and planning  process. for more info on the science behind this, click here.

The thalamus is the part of the brain that does the visualizing. It is the same part of the brain that executes muscle memory and physical actions around things we have previous learned. 

The thalumus makes no distinction between actually doing something and the visualization of it. So, if we can manage to visualize our lives, our big goals, or our bodies changing and overcoming, we can actually become more successful in the execution of those actions. Read More Here.

As it pertains to IQ, there is no specific science that proves people become smarter after visualization practices. However, it is commonly know that visualization is used in many different learning processes from speed reading to memory training.

Visualization has become popular in high achieving athletes and people that need to perform under intense pressure. But recently, visualization has become more common in the coaching space as it is very effective in business building, self care, and relationship building.

The best time to practice visualization is in a calm quite space where you can meditate on yoru goals. Allow yourself to enjoy the experiences and guide yourself through imagining as much detail as possible. Find a time and space that is stress free and enjoyable.

In general we use visualization to bring imagery to our plans and goals. Our minds like to work in pictures. In our Vision Integration Method™ workshops, we guide you through some tangible techniques to take home and use with your vision board.
