Believing You Can Change Habits – Using Visualization

Habits and Goals Together

You might be wondering what you’re supposed to do if you want to change certain habits but you really haven’t given any thought to whether or not they attach to goals you have. What if you just know that you procrastinate too much and that’s a habit you’d like to stop? Is the desire to change that bad habit attached to any sort of goal?

I’d argue that that absolutely is attached to goals you have. Procrastination is a bad habit. It’s preventing you from earning more money. It’s harming your business or stopping you from getting raises and promotions. It’s harming your reputation and it’s making it harder for you to be happy with your own performance.

Habits don’t exist in a vacuum. You don’t like them or despise them for their own sake. When you examine them further, it becomes a lot clearer why you really want to change them. There are clear, measurable goals inside you that you need to pull out and understand, so you can understand your habits.

Using Visualization to Write Your Own Life Movie Script

You can think of visualization as being like the director of your own movie. You are writing the movie of your life. What is it going to look like? You get to decide what you’re going to do and accomplish and how long it’s going to take you to accomplish those things. Your job is to visualize and picture exactly what you want.

We all get 24 hours in a day. Your 24 hours are the exact same as that of the people you admire and want to emulate. So, you need to decide how to better emulate their life, choices, and habits. Use visualization to move your life closer to what theirs is like.

That doesn’t come naturally to everyone. Other people seem so much better organized and prepared. Other people seem to have been given so much more— better opportunities, more money, and so on. Other people seem to be in such a better place in life. How can you compete with your own life movie script?
