Creative Visualization Techniques Help You to Visualize Your Dreams
Almost everything I have created or manifested in my life has been through my use of the creative visualization techniques I learned as a young teen. This skill has brought me a beautiful life including a wonderful marriage of over 34 years, financial riches, a successful career and I like to think I played a part in my son’s success too. I don’t like to brag, but here goes: He’s an Emmy award winning television producer!
It has been said, since known time began, in a myriad of ways that; If you can “see” it you can be it.
Creative Visualization is a proven technique for achieving what you want. (click to tweet)
There are thousands of articles telling of famous athletes who use creative visualization techniques to improve their performance.

The use of Creative VisualizationTechniques has long been a part of elite sports. Al Oerter, a four-time Olympic discus champion, and the tennis star Billie Jean King were among those using it in the 1960s.
Before using Creative Visualization Techniques- Get Clear on Your Goals
But before we get on to using creative visualization techniques to create the life you want, first and most importantly, you have to decide what it is you want. This post will help: GET CLEAR ON YOUR GOALS
- It can’t be vague, such as “I just want to be happy”.
- It can’t be negative such as “I just want so and so to leave me alone”.
- It can’t be ridiculous such as “I want to be the Queen of England”. Unless of course you were Diana long ago and that’s another story altogether.
Do you know that most people don’t even know what they want? They just know they’re unhappy and some just feel a nagging discontent that they haven’t even labeled. Know thyself is a famous saying and oh so true.

If you aren’t clear what it is you want, spend some time simply fantasizing about life. (click to tweet)
Just take a few deep breaths and allow your mind to wander. Give yourself the suggestion of seeing your perfect, happy life in your minds eye and see where that takes you.
Rules of this creative visualization game:
- There is no criticism here.
- Allow this to be fun and playful.
- You can also give yourself the suggestion right before falling asleep that your subconscious mind is leading you in the direction of your best life.
- Then when you wake up the next morning or possibly within a few days you will get the hint.
The hint can come through something someone says, or a song that plays on the radio when you first turn it on, or a billboard that catches your eye, or a new movie that comes out. There is no telling how you may find your answer, but be open and willing to believe that the messages of your soul, or your higher self can come to you in all kinds of unexpected and different ways.
Don’t expect an email from your soul! (click to tweet)
Having the faith that you will receive the message is the trick to getting the message. Then you will sense it when it does come. If you don’t have faith now simply take my word for it. That technique has worked for me and hundreds of my coaching clients and students. When you’re open to receiving you will receive! It’s that simple and as I said earlier be willing to “play” at it. Don’t make this a life or death crisis. Just be open, try it and have fun.
Why use creative visualization techniques?
Research has conclusively proven that visualization works because neurons in the brain interpret imagery as real life happenings. As we visualize ourselves doing or achieving something our brain generates an impulse that tells our neurons to “perform” the movement that creates the desired effect. This is how a neural pathway is created that works to create memories and learned behavior. If you have a “memory” of having done something you then KNOW you can do it again. This is just one of the ways visualization works to create your desired result. Magical though it seems it isn’t magic, it’s science! Read more on manifesting your desires here, How to Manifest
Contrary to popular belief it isn’t seeing that is believing, it’s the other way around. (click to tweet)
You must first conceive of it as a possibility before you can see what may be right before your very eyes. One of my favorite teachers has written
Believing is seeing
Wayne Dyer
Believing is seeing
Now on to visualizing for success
Steps to Using Creative Visualization Techniques: Click to tweet
- Close your eyes and imagine you can see a blank screen inside your forehead. Something like a movie screen.
- Start by projecting onto that screen an every day object. Something that’s easy for you to clearly imagine like an apple.
- Now begin to see your goal on that screen. For example you want to find the perfect partner in love so you begin to conjour up a picture of you and your perfect mate holding hands, or gazing into one another’s eyes.
- Next you step into that picture and begin to feel yourself in the movie you’ve projected onto your screen.
- Now add sounds such as your partner saying: “I love you so much”. Or something like that. Something you want to hear.
- Now add movement to it like a kiss.
- Now add fragrance to it like the wonderful way your perfect mate smells and delights your senses in every way.
