Hi, Performers and Achievers. Welcome to Performers and Achievers Daily with me, Raj Gavrulla. In today's episode, the importance of do you plan when to use visualization? Or do you plan when you visualize? So, visualization, as many of you have may know, and most of my listeners probably have heard of it, some of them use it. I know my customers, most of my customers do use visualization. And visualization sometimes is called mental imagery. And here's the important thing to keep in mind visualization is done when you're not moving. When you're not moving, and visualization is not done when you're just walking, and all of a sudden an image or some kind of mind movie comes into your mind of you presenting for your company at a presentation, or you're walking, and all of a sudden you see yourself or playing soccer or playing basketball or tennis or baseball, and you sort of sense that, like, no, this must mean something. This has some significance. You're with your family, you're with your friends somewhere. And here it is, is that all of that is unplanned. You didn't plan when to visualize, and that is what to keep in mind. That's the importance. Because really, all of that is just taking and creating more of a cognitive load on you. It's also putting more pressure on you, and it's also taking you out of the present, your presence here, or what I call the zone, or flow. The research term is flow. Therefore, it's essential for you to keep in mind to know when to visualize. So it's a planned visualization. So here's an example: you're preparing for a presentation for your business, your organization, your work. And you've got most of it completed, and now you're you use visualization because you plan a time, a place to actually visualize. So you're visualizing on purpose, you're visualizing as a planned activity, as a planned task, and that's where you receive the benefits of visualization. It's not while you're at a networking event, and then all of a sudden you're talking to someone and you start visualizing this presentation you're gonna do next week. No, if that's occurring, guess what? You're not really into this networking event, and that's the whole point of having your presence where you are, you experiencing the zone or the flow or flow. So that's very, very important. Another example let's say you're playing a soccer match, you're about to kick an indirect kick. So you look in you visualize before you even kick the ball. Visualize where to kick the ball. Once you start moving, then you're in your in-competition routine. However, since you are stationary, you can visualize. Same thing with basketball, you're at the free throw line. It's a planned visualization. Visualize yourself. Visualize in real time. Making the free throw shot. That's where you are right now. So visualize. Or you're playing tennis. You're about to serve. So before you start your service motion, visualize. Not during not during your basketball foul shot, not during your basket soccer indirect kick. In real time. Visualize in real time. That's when you use visualization when you're actually in real time doing the activity. Now you can visualize indirect kicks when it's planned on purpose when you're not playing soccer, when you're at when you're at the academy, or when right before you go out onto the pitch for practice. Okay, you sort of live in sort of like in a fantasy state, a dream state, but it's not really a dream in the sense of a dream. Okay, so that's very, very important. This is where a lot of people do not do visualization right, they do it wrong. They try to visualize when they're actually in motion. And when you visualize, you do not visualize when you're in motion. When you're in motion, what do you do? You see you see the people in the audience, you see the soccer ball before you kick an indirect kick or before a penalty shot. You see the basketball, the basket while you're in motion shooting. You see when you're in your service motion, toss the ball, you see the ball, you swing at it. Then you use the word see. Same thing in baseball or football or any sport. That's when you're seeing is when you're really in real time, you're seeing the actual movement of you doing whatever you're doing, and you're also feeling your performance cue. And usually, when not usually, almost every time, I don't know of a time when it's not, uh, when someone's experiencing the zone or flow, they're gonna see whatever it is that they're doing in slow motion, so it's at a pace that even though it's real time, it just seems like you're in slow motion, complete control. It's like you playing a video game, you can speed up or slow down. It's amazing that experience of that, and that's called dilation. And I'm not going into that right now, however, that's just a little bit of insight. How I help my customers and support them. So today is visualization. So your bonus assignment is do you use visualization? If you don't, then look into it. If you do, do you plan when to visualize? Or is it a random event that occurs that sort of seems inspirational or some type of fantasy, like something's telling you something? Well, it's not, you're actually putting more pressure on you, your cognitive load, you're not here where your feet are, your presence. Okay, and that's very important. Now, what I have your bonus assignment as is to visualize and actually plan your visualization and be still when you're visualizing, be still, okay, and then do that when you're not in real time, so it's like a future event, but you're planning this visualization versus it just somehow coming to you in your mind, just like random thoughts come into your mind. Well, they're not they're no use really, and then you can also take it then and add on to in real time. All right. So that's what I have for you today.
