Visualisation is a life-changing technique to master.

I first learned of it from my husband.

He’s a master at visualisation and applies the same approach to every goal he has in life, whether at the gym (where he visualises the number of reps or weight increments) or in university (where he visualised a career as a successful trader hitting X dollar net worth by the age of 30).

I used to make fun of him.

It sounded so fluffy. Delirious even.

But over the years, I’ve seen him achieve goal after goal he’s set his mind to and I’ve changed my mind.

Visualisation is powerful.

And here’s how he does it -

1. Be as detailed and audacious with your visualisation as possible

The level of detail in his visualisation is what helps him achieve his goals, not unlike setting SMART goals.

He doesn’t just say I want to lift heavier weights at the gym

Instead, he sets goals specifically for being able to do an unsupported handstand

Rather than saying, “ I’m going to be a better trader”, he sets specific P&L targets to hit every month - and also aims high.

2. Until you live your visualisation

He can visualise it to the point where he feels it and almost lives it as a (new) reality.

In a way, it’s almost a variation of faking it till you make it.

Believing it’s possible is half the battle - stretching your mind and breaking past the limiting beliefs that are holding you back.

3. Backtrack to figure out what the exact steps are needed to achieve this

The most critical part is figuring out how to get there

By going through the motions of imagining his new reality, he then slowly fills in the blanks on how to achieve this

E.g. For work, he analyses the risks, opportunity sets available in the market, people he needs to speak with to gather insights, etc. and turns it 
into a to-do list to check off.

In short:

1️⃣ Block out 2 hours in your schedule 
2️⃣ Find a quiet spot and remove all distractions (e.g. set your phone on silent!) 
3️⃣ Write in minute detail what your ideal life in 5 years will be (use a notebook and pen if possible!)
4️⃣ Keep visualising these goals and ideal life as often as possible throughout your day - don’t let it gather dust!

You deserve to live your best life.

Don’t hold yourself back!
