How’s Your Progress Towards Your Goals?
Do you regularly mentally and emotionally check in with them?
Future rehearsal is a really powerful tool we can use to visualise achieving our goal, bringing in the emotion of that achievement, and even posing questions to our sub-conscious to guide us to attainment.
What we’re doing here isn’t day dreaming, it’s priming our sense of self for the success to come and altering our neural pathways to support us for the outcome we want in the future.
Ever watched downhill skiers before the race in a crouch at the top of the course mentally running through their run?
They’re literally running the race in their heads using their bodies to embed the course, the movements and a successful run.
We can do the same for our goals and future rehearsal is a powerful tool to have in our armoury.
I use it with my clients and I personally use it on a daily basis to help me keep on track, stay motivated and stay connected not just to the outcome but the journey as well.
After all, the goal is not the destination, what we learn on the way is also a key part of shaping our success.
