WHY VISUALIZATION WORKS
You might be wondering how goal visualization works.
It works because of how our brains are wired.
brain activity
The neurons in our brain interpret images as real life.
For example, when we envision ourselves running up a flight of stairs, the neurons in our brain receive an impulse that tells them to perform the movement.
This then creates a new neural pathway that tells our bodies to act as we have just imagined.
So when you visualize doing things, your body is creating pathways and memories of how to do that action even though you never actually performed the action.
And the more times you visualize it, the better you get at perfecting not only the mental aspect of the task, but also the physical aspect.
