How to Coach Yourself and Others Better Coaching Through Visualisation | Page 33

You can do similar visualizations when choosing regions to live in,
schools to attend, career option opportunities, etc. Even when
confronted with an uncomplicated choice, such as choosing what
colour to paint your bedroom, this can be decided through the help
of visualization.
10. Clear Your Mind
Clearing Mental Clutter (By Phylameana lila Desy, About.com
Guide)
Too many thoughts and mental pictures can convolute the mind. It
may seem strange to use visualization to reduce the chaos in your
brain when your mind
already feels too crowded,
but it can help. The idea is
to choose images that
erase, filter, or organize
your thoughts. Much like
de-cluttering a closet, you
can use visualization to
reduce mental clutter.
There are three causes of
mental clutter: Avoidance, Indecision, and Procrastination
Do you have a mental "to-do list" that is overloading your brain
power? Or is indecisiveness possibly robbing you of clear and
focused thought?
A Case of Brain-Drain
Make an effort to periodically clear your mind of any obsessive
thoughts that are overwhelming you. You will likely be bogged
down with a serious case of brain drain unless you routinely take the
initiative and consciously clear your mind of non-productive
thoughts. Lingering thoughts that are hanging around creating a
depressive atmosphere creates mental anguish.
