Achieving what you want is not easy, and requires more than just desire or good intentions. However, thought can be a great ally in starting the journey towards those goals or dreams, if used correctly. In this sense, the creative visualization technique can prove to be successful.
This technique, however, does not work as some kind of spell and will not make everything appear as if by magic. It is necessary to apply creative visualization along with other elements such as effort, passion, perseverance and desire. In particular, it is very important to "believe" in the possibilities that are created. Let's see what this powerful technique consists of.

What is creative visualization?
When we refer to the term creative visualization, we mean a cognitive technique that uses the imagination to create mental images in which to project the objectives to be achieved. So they represent the first step to generate positive changes in our life.
This technique combines the power of visualization, which allows you to see what you want to happen or achieve, with creativity, hence the ability to invent and push boundaries.
According to experts, the purpose of this technique is not only to increase self-esteem, but also self-confidence. And, moreover, the possibility of providing a valid starting point to face the achievement of one's goals.
By practicing the technique of creative visualization, thoughts and emotions are modified through the imagination, with the aim of achieving a sense of individual and social well-being.

Step-by-step creative visualization
The technique of creative visualization it is not as simple as it seems, since it is not enough just to "imagine". It is also necessary to have an open mind and overcome any limiting beliefs that can occasionally flood us with fears and worries.
Below we explain a series of guidelines to take into consideration before putting it into practice.
Establish clear and achievable goals
The first point is essential. Goals must be clear and realistic. In other words, you need to know what you want to achieve and also clearly determine how you can achieve it.
By combining your imagination and your wisdom, you can achieve what you so much desire. However, the next step will allow you to advance a little more in this long distance race.
The generation of images
Logically, you will need to be able to imagine what you want to achieve. You will have to create in your mind the situations or goals you want to achieve in a detailed and concrete way. Memory and imagination are good allies to do this.
Keep viewing
It is necessary to keep and hold these images in the mind. We recommend that you do this in a quiet place that promotes concentration. So away from distractions and without noise, where they can be reproduced clearly. Experts also recommend doing this process a couple of times a day for 10 o.
Review the images
The creative images that are generated need to be verified. You will have to make sure that these are faithful to the reality you want to achieve. It is therefore necessary to generate both the emotions and the thoughts that you want to have at that moment.
Transform images
When you know the images well, it is time to transform them if you have seen that they generate some negativity or discomfort. You will have to work on your images to bring them to the optimum point of satisfaction and well-being.
Ideas for applying the creative visualization technique
It is not enough to dream of becoming famous singers and think about it every day. This technique requires some recommendations that will help you implement it effectively:
- Open your mind. Without an open mind, this technique isn't effective at all. Only with creative thinking is it possible to identify the opportunities that arise to achieve one's goals.
- Maintain a constant positive attitude. Both thought and speech can help strengthen mental images, which in turn chase away any doubts and negativities that may arise.
- Consistency is vital. Never stop trying and believing in yourself, otherwise you will never reach the proposed goals.
It is very important to keep in mind that creative visualization is only part of the journey that will lead us to the threshold of the final milestone. By this we mean that in addition to imagining and recreating the goal in your mind, you will have to strive and contribute so that, little by little, it will come true. Imagining, thinking, remembering is not enough without commitment, planning and action.
