Did you know that the brain has difficulty telling the difference between an imaginary and a real experience? By visualizing an outcome that we want we trick our brain into experiencing ourselves achieving our goal.Essentially, visualization is where the entire goal setting process begins.

But simply day-dreaming about our goal is only scratching the surface of this powerful tool.Visualizing our goals give us a moment to be in the moment with our goals, to get the sensation of achieving them. This provides motivation in spades, as well as the satisfaction of seeing how happy our goals have the potential to make us.On a piece of paper write out your goal in great detail. Where you will be, who you will be with, everything and anything you can detail for that moment, write it down. List how it will make you feel.
