Improve Focus and Effectiveness by doing a little exercise. Sounds fun, right? Now you may ask yourself: “How?” Well by start reading this article and doing the exercise to Improve Focus and Effectiveness for a few days. It is that simple.
The decision-making process in business and your personal life is an important part of your success. Critical thinking involves the capability to think rationally and fair-minded. You must have the ability to employ thinking reflectively and independently. Do you know that your brain can’t tell the difference between something imaginary and something real? In other words, if your imagination is vivid enough, you can trick your brain into experiencing the positive emotions that go along with a positive memory or mental image.
Let’s do a little exercise with it. If I ask you the question: “How many chairs are there in your living room?” An educated guess from my side the following will happen with your brain now. You imaginary put yourself in your living room and start to recall how many chairs there are. Am I right?
Now this example is in the realm of something you can recall and exists. You have your living room and you are able to recall. Right?
Now do it with something you have not experienced yet, yet you want to reach that goal. Close your eyes and start creating that movie where you see yourself having accomplished that goal. See what you see, hear what you hear and feel how great it feels. Improve Focus and Effectiveness.
Ask yourself: What images align with achieving your goal? To continue with the example above, if you are looking for a car, you should envision what car it is. Be as specific as you can and try to get as many senses involved as possible. Smell, taste, sound, touch, whatever you can – the point is to completely immerse yourself in the visualization so it feels as real as possible. Improve Focus and Effectiveness.
Let’s expand the experience of you getting the car you want. Not only you are able to only focus and imagine what car you want, you can go to a car dealership. Go for a test-drive in the car you desire. And this experience you add up to the visualization you have done before. Make your experience bigger, brighter and bolder. Now see what you see, hear what you hear and put yourself in the movie you create. Emerge yourself fully in it.
Visualizations bring clarity to your dreams and the goals you desire. It helps you to Improve Focus and Effectiveness. The more positive visualizations we have, the more positive thoughts we have, which will ultimately lead to positive behavior. So think about it. Repeat this exercise a few times. Give it a test and start test-driving your imagination. Improve Focus and Effectiveness.
