Ways In Which to Use Visualization
Success. See yourself performing skills at a high level, achieving
your goals, being who you want to be and living the life you
want.
To motivate. Envision yourself achieving your goals vividly to
remind yourself of your objective and what you need to do to
reach it. Many athletes, actors, and singers "see" and "feel"
themselves performing a routine, program, or play perfectly
before they actually do it.
To familiarize or set the stage for a performance/event.
Mental imagery can be used effectively to familiarize yourself
with the surroundings before an event, such as a competition
site, a racetrack, a stage or a difficult play or routine prior to a
competition.
To do a run-through. Athletes and performers often do a
complete mental run through of the key elements of their
routines. This helps them focus, eliminate some pre-performance
jitters and be more comfortable. It also serves as a warm-up or
mini rehearsal.
You can use visualization for anything and everything that you
want to prepare for in advance. It helps you be more comfortable
and perform at a higher level no matter what. It's a great way to
rehearse and prepare for any kind of event or situation.

How to Visualize What you want:
1.

Go somewhere quiet and private where you won't be
disturbed. Close your eyes and think of the goal, mood,
new behavior or skill, you want to acquire.

2.

Take several deep breaths and relax.
