How to Energize Yourself with Positivity through Visualization

Visualization or imagery is a widely used psychological strategy in performance-driven disciplines such as sports. There are many ways to visualize, and so many things you can focus on (e.g. visualize yourself performing well in a difficult situation).

In this episode, I want to share with you one specific visualization technique that I have practiced often in my life. I call it ‘Flashbacks’ and the name is almost self-explanatory. Basically, at moments where I am facing a challenge or a difficult situation, I try to boost my motivation or energize myself with positive energy by visually recalling in my mind all the key moments and hard work that got me up to that point. Thinking about these experiences help me continue my confrontation with today’s challenges.

Anyway, this technique is just something that I tried out for myself out of the blue, but it worked! Because it worked for me, maybe it works for you? Remember, that is what self-primacy is about: learning, practicing, mastering, and sharing techniques that can help us exert control over our own behavior. Have you ever used visualization in this way? If not, I recommend you to try it!
