How to practically make creative visualization? I find some key factors to the answer of this question through creative visualization and affiramtion practice.

Background

I have been using creative visualization for a long time and it really brings many changes to me and my life. I have setting affirmations on self improvement, scholar, relationship and wealth. I feel that I have taken control of myself better than before and everything is just heading towards the direction I have set up.

Creative visualization is an easy-understand concept, but it is not easy to carry on it practically. The reasons mainly are: 1) we can’t fully believe it at first and so we will not try our best to practice it; 2) we have built our habits through years, so it is difficult to change them at once; 3) Every time difficulties can’t be solved by creative visualization at once, or difficulties still come even if we have practice creative visualization more, some of us will feel disappointed and hesitate, which directly influent the frequency and time of using creative visualization.

In one word, we always experience many kinds of negative thoughts even during creative visualization. It seems a large paradox for us. We have read articles, books on creative visualization, why don’t we still get what we want?

The answer is that we have not grasped the keys to carry on creative visualization practically.

Through practice, I have found there are some key factors for me to carry on creative visualization. I am honored to share them with you - my dear friends.

1st key factor – dedication

My experience

Dedication is helpful for personal productivity improvement and it is true for creative visualization as well. When we concentrate ourselves on one thing at a time, we will have more chance to do it better.

I have ever learned many self improvement tips. In the past, I have almost self trained with each of them each day. I have my own job so the time left for me is limited; I finally find that what I know is far more than what I have done on self improvement. I still fall into losing control of myself sometimes and can’t let go the negative thought patterns.

When I began creative visualization on self improvement and relationship, I decided that I should dedicate to one thing – creative visualization and prove its effect through my experience. I become dedicated indeed and the promising result is coming. Now, I have much improvement in self improvement, emotion management, and relationship and so on.

For self improvement and other issues to improve, I concentrate on using creative visualization and affirmation as my self-training methods. Suppose I have two hours total for self improvement and I have spent it all on creative visualization and affirmation, I believe I will get more than before (I scattered the time on many self improvement ways at that time) and now the truth proves that I am right.

Because of only one self-improvement training every day, I can have time to think clearer and deeper than before. The direct result is that I can have time to adjust my own methods on creative visualization and affirmation according to my thoughts and training effect.

Suggestions on dedication

Once you begin using creative visualization, stick to it. Seriously reading a book or two on creative visualization is a very good base to practical using. If you have learned other lessons on emotion management, self improvement and so on, put them aside and concentrate on creative visualization first. Concentrate on one kind of training each day. When we become skillful on creative visualization, we can merge other lessons with creative visualization to customize it.

Practice creative visualization step by step and stick to it every day within your self-improvement time. But the more important thing is thinking of and refining the creative visualization. We learned the basic knowledge on creative visualization from books, articles, network and so on, but we also need to have our own training methods on creative visualization at last. Thinking is the necessary road to this. Correct and effective creative visualization is pleasing, interesting and enjoyable, so every time after creative visualization, we can recall the procedure and refine it to get improved, for example:

Is it better to close or open eyes during creative visualization for me?

Is the time I have chosen for creative visualization proper?

Can I change the size, speed, distance of the image in the creative visualization to get a better result?

Is it more effective if I mixed creative visualization with affirmations? When shall I add the affirmations to creative visualization, before, after or during creative visualization?

At last, keep a journal or log on the answers every day. It’s a valuable resource and support to your own creative visualization.
