0:00There is a mental practice used by
0:02athletes, inventors, leaders, elite
0:04performers, and some of the world's
0:06highest achievers. And when it is used
0:08well, it has the potential to increase
0:11confidence and capacity, and your
0:13ability to perform in a way that serves
0:15your life. But it can also work against
0:18you. And when it's used badly, it has
0:20the potential to increase anxiety,
0:22increase self-doubt, and it can keep you
0:25trapped in the past or blocked from the
0:27very goals that you are trying to
0:29achieve in your future. What is it? It
0:31is visualization. And in this video, I
0:34am going to show you why visualization
0:37is far more powerful than most people
0:39realize, why most people never tap into
0:42its incredible potential, and how to use
0:45it deliberately to train your brain for
0:48the future that you actually want to
0:50create. And if you stick around till the
0:53end, I've recorded a free guided
0:55visualization for you so that you can
0:57start this right now. The link is in the
0:59description. Hi, I'm Jody, a
1:01neuro-conditioning specialist who uses
1:04neuroscience to train your brain for
1:05high performance so you can rewire
1:07reality for the results you most want.
1:10So, firstly, visualization, it is not
1:14new, it is not novel, it is not some
1:17trendy hack. It has been used throughout
1:19history to help turn ideas into
1:22outcomes. Nikola Tesla, one of the
1:25greatest inventors who ever lived, he
1:27wrote that he built and tested his
1:29inventions entirely in his imagination
1:32first. He would run them in his mind in
1:35complete detail before he ever
1:38constructed anything. Even Beethoven, he
1:41carried musical ideas in his head for
1:43months, hearing them grow and change.
1:46And he went on to compose using his
1:49imagination even after he lost his
1:51hearing. And today, athletes like Novak
1:54Djokovic, one of the greatest tennis
1:56players of all time. He said that
1:59visualization, it is an integral part of
2:02his preparation before every match. He
2:04says for something to become a reality,
2:06you have to be able to picture it first.
2:08And what they all knew, and maybe you
2:10know this too, is visualizations help
2:13you create the result that you want.
2:16Why? Because visualization, it is your
2:19mind's ability to see beyond your
2:22current circumstances. Right? To see in
2:25your imagination beyond what is to what
2:28could be. Albert Einstein, he even said
2:31that imagination is more important than
2:34knowledge. One of the greatest
2:35scientific minds in history. Someone
2:38whose entire life was dedicated to
2:41expanding human knowledge. He places
2:43imagination above knowledge. Why?
2:46Because knowledge is based on what we
2:48already know. It is grounded in what has
2:51been discovered, in what has been
2:53learned or experienced. Knowledge, it
2:56tells us what has been. Imagination is
2:59about what could be. Now, here is the
3:01problem. Most people, they are already
3:04using this incredible power, but they
3:06are using it against themselves. They
3:09accidentally use it to actually block
3:11themselves from the very result that
3:14they want. Or even worse, they use it to
3:17create a result that they don't want.
3:20Why? Well, there are two things you need
3:22to know. Number one, visualization is
3:25not just sitting in a dark room
3:27imagining with your eyes closed the
3:29life, the business, the relationships,
3:32whatever it is that you want. But most
3:34people, visualization, it is an
3:36unconscious habit of thought. You
3:39visualize regularly. Every time you
3:42think about the future or the past, you
3:44are visualizing. And it's just that most
3:47people do it in a way that is
3:48unintentionally directed. The second
3:50thing you need to know is that we have
3:52an inbuilt negativity bias. And what
3:54that means is our brain can naturally
3:57default to or prefer jumping to the
4:00negative, which means that our brains
4:02can default to more negative thinking.
4:05So, visualization, it is often the
4:08unconscious habit of thinking about your
4:10future in a way that naturally steers
4:13you in the direction of the negative.
4:15And you can call this worry. You either
4:17picture an outcome you don't want or you
4:19picture an outcome you do want, but with
4:22a feeling of fear or doubt around it,
4:24right? So, I want to scale my business,
4:25but what if I break it? I want to write
4:27the book, but what if no one reads it? I
4:30want to speak on that stage, but what if
4:32I freeze up? And you might not even have
4:34to try to picture those things going
4:36wrong. They are just the default
4:38settings when you unconsciously imagine,
4:41but you can change this. And if you want
4:43to use the power of visualization to
4:45create the results that you want, you
4:48have to change this. And you will soon
4:50see why. And to understand why, I just
4:53want to show you how powerful a picture
4:56in your mind can be. And before I
4:58started teaching people how to
5:00deliberately train their minds to create
5:03the outcomes they want, I spent over a
5:05decade studying media influence. So, how
5:08the images and information that we
5:10consume, how they shape how we think,
5:12how we feel, what we believe, and how we
5:15behave. And the reason that I am telling
5:18you this is because I want to show you
5:21how the pictures that you see in your
5:22mind affect the results that we create
5:25in our lives. Because a picture, it can
5:28change what you want. It can change the
5:30risks you take, the risks you avoid, and
5:33it can change ultimately what you do.
5:35And so, a great example of this it was
5:38in the film Jaws. So, has anybody here
5:39seen the film Jaws? If not, maybe you
5:41know about the film Jaws, but it's about
5:43shark attacks. And when that film came
5:45out, it was huge. And what happened was
5:48it made so many people scared to go in
5:52the water. Watching this film of Jaws,
5:54it altered their sense of risk. They had
5:57a vivid picture planted in their mind
6:00that was emotionally charged and scary,
6:03and then they didn't want to go in the
6:04water. There are people even now who
6:06watch the film that still don't want to
6:08get in the water. Or if they do, they
6:11might still feel nervous about it. And
6:13now, I want you to imagine you'd never
6:15seen the film, right? Imagine instead
6:17you had seen a film where there was a
6:19beautiful boat off the shores of
6:21Barbados. Maybe it was a yacht, and you
6:23were looking at clear blue sea. And on
6:26that boat, you've got people laughing,
6:29people having drinks together, maybe
6:31even look over the edge and you see
6:32turtles in the crystal blue water. You
6:35got people jumping into it. Oh my
6:37goodness, how much do you want to be on
6:40that boat? How much would you love to
6:42jump into that refreshing water on a hot
6:44day? Yes, right? The pictures that we
6:47make in our mind, they affect our
6:49desires that we have and the risks that
6:52we see and the action we take. Now, why
6:55I am telling you this is because we all
6:57have pictures in our mind. When you
7:00think about the goal that you are going
7:01after, if you think about what it is you
7:03want, what a lot of us do is we put a
7:05load of sharks in the water. What if I
7:07fail? What if I embarrass myself? What
7:09if I lose everything? Right? If you put
7:12sharks in the water, do you want to jump
7:14in? Do you want to take risks? Do you
7:16want to take the next steps or the
7:18action? No. Instead, you want to
7:21consciously or unconsciously avoid it,
7:24right? And that is not a motivation
7:26problem. That is not laziness. That is
7:28your brain doing exactly what it is
7:31designed to do. It is steering you away
7:34from a future or a result that it is
7:37rehearsed as in some way threatening,
7:39either to your income, to your status,
7:41to your reputation, to your
7:42relationship, whatever it is, it becomes
7:44a threat. But, if you imagine your goals
7:48with such a positive feeling of
7:49anticipation, right? If when you
7:51imagine, you see the what could go right
7:53version of your goals, you see how it is
7:55going to be a benefit, who's it going to
7:57help, who does it allow you to become,
8:00what do you get to experience as a
8:02result? When you imagine like that, how
8:04much more naturally does it stimulate
8:06motivation with less fear to move
8:09forward with with better action. The
8:11pictures that you repeatedly create in
8:14your mind, they are either helping you
8:16create the future that you want, or they
8:18are blocking you from it. Now, I spent
8:21years studying how the pictures outside
8:24of us actually shape the beliefs and the
8:26behaviors that we have, and now I train
8:29people to become intentional about
8:32creating the pictures inside of it. It
8:33is so important, right? because you
8:35might not need more motivation, you just
8:37need a more compelling picture of your
8:39future, of the goals that you're going
8:41after. Because what happens is most
8:43people, they are trying to push
8:44themselves forward into a future that
8:47doesn't actually pull them, and then
8:48they wonder why it feels so hard. So, I
8:51want to ask you a question, is the
8:53picture that you have in your mind about
8:56the results that you want, is it
8:58compelling you, or is it repelling you?
9:01Because every picture of your future, it
9:04is either pulling you towards it, or it
9:06is pushing you away from it. And in
9:07fact, the very word compelling, it means
9:09emotionally attractive enough to create
9:11a desire to actually pull you towards
9:13it. And often, people don't have one,
9:16they don't have a compelling enough
9:18picture, right? They have too many
9:19sharks in the water. And then often,
9:21people are guided by either their
9:22current circumstances, or they're guided
9:24by their fears. And you don't need to be
9:26guided by either. If you are guided by
9:28your current circumstances, that is just
9:31a lack of imagination. And if you're
9:33guided [clears throat] by your fears,
9:34that's just undirected imagination. And
9:37often, it creates an uncompelling
9:39picture because you've had to shrink the
9:41picture down to something that your fear
9:44can approve of or something realistic or
9:47something safe, right? And it doesn't
9:49move you. But a compelling future, it
9:52pulls you forward in a way that no
9:54amount of push can. It changes what you
9:56do today. It changes what you notice. It
9:59changes what you actually attempt. And
10:01it can help you access more of your
10:03potential because it changes what you
10:05are willing to walk through to actually
10:07get there. And so the more often you
10:09practice deliberately visualizing, the
10:12more often that you mentally rehearse
10:14the picture, the easier it actually
10:16feels to begin to move towards. I was
10:18with a client earlier today and they had
10:20just turned down a speaking opportunity
10:22that actually they would have loved to
10:23do and would have helped their business.
10:26And she didn't know why. And so I asked
10:28her, what is it that she was picturing
10:30when she imagined doing it? And she had
10:32not created a good picture in her mind.
10:35There was a lot of stuff in her
10:36imagination that was going wrong and it
10:38was why she said no. She had put so many
10:41sharks in her water and so then she
10:43avoided jumping in it. And so I took her
10:45through a short visualization and I
10:47helped her create a more compelling
10:49picture of herself on stage, right? Of
10:51the audience in front of her, of how she
10:53wanted to actually feel and what she
10:56actually wanted to create in that room
10:58and attach it to all the benefits that
11:00she actually wanted as a result of the
11:02speaking engagement. And she completely
11:04changed. She got excited. She became
11:07more creative about who she could be on
11:09stage and she felt way more confident
11:11about going out there and doing it. And
11:13so when we got off the call, she reached
11:15back out to the organization to see if
11:16the slot was still available. She was
11:18ready to go. The same opportunity. She
11:21just put a different picture in her mind
11:23and it led her to completely different
11:24action. That is what makes visualization
11:27such a powerful tool. It allows you to
11:29create the result you want in your mind
11:32and then it helps you make it real.
11:34Because think about it, every invention,
11:36every goal ever achieved, everything
11:38that exists in this world, even this
11:40chair, it began first in somebody's
11:42imagination. Whether it was a business,
11:44a bridge, a book, a life-changing
11:47breakthrough, it all starts with a
11:49mental picture. And so, when Einstein
11:51said, "Imagination is more important
11:53than knowledge," he was not dismissing
11:55knowledge. He was just highlighting that
11:58the creative force of your mind is where
12:01all possibility begins. And the future
12:04that you want, the results that you
12:06want, it is no different. Before you can
12:08live it, you have to see it. So, then
12:11the only question left is, how do you
12:13actually do this? Now, normally, this is
12:15where I might break down a technique and
12:17be able to show you how to do it and how
12:19to remember it. But, in this case, I've
12:20done something better. I recorded a
12:22visualization for you, so that you can
12:25begin right now. It's visualizing your
12:27compelling future. You can access it in
12:29the link below. And my invitation is to
12:32listen to it every day for 7 days. And
12:35if you are up for this, just comment,
12:37"I'm in," when you start, and come back
12:39in day seven and tell me what's actually
12:41changed. Right? I read every comment, so
12:43drop it in there. And if you want to
12:45give that future words as well as
12:47pictures, watch the next video on future
12:50scripting. And if you want to train with
12:52me, then the links are in the
12:54description for how you can actually do
12:55that. Life is a team sport. I am in your
12:58corner with full belief in your
13:00brilliance. I will see you in the next
13:01video.
