Importance of Visualizing

Wow.  This concept has crept back up when I was least expecting it!  Over the past couple of months, I’ve been reintroduced to the importance of visualizing.  I used to visualize all the time in Atlanta. I had a whole routine I used to run. I even created and ran a challenge around it a few times.   I know firsthand how it keeps you centered and focused on a whole nother level.   But unfortunately, I fell off from it.  I told y’all when I first moved to NY I let many of my good habits fall to the wayside.   Sad to say, the majority, if not all, of 2019 was spent not paying a single thought to visualizing!

But the past couple of months I have been reintroduced to the importance and necessity of it.   I came across someone referencing it 3 different times! So I know it’s a habit I need to reestablish!

Visualizing is great for building faith.   If you’re not familiar, visualizing is seeing something with the mind’s eye before it physically manifests.   If you’re an athlete, for example, it’s seeing yourself compete for a medal before the day actually arrives. It’s a great tool to have and utilize, because it allows you to show up fully prepared and present in any given moment.  You’ve practiced for whatever it is. You’ve seen yourself there. You’ve anticipated the moves you need to make. You’ve thought through how you want to make them. You’ve navigated where you want to go and how you want to get there, so you know the lay of the land.  You’re comfortable with it. Others look at you and think it’s effortless. I guess maybe it is when you think about how much effort you put into seeing yourself in the many different stages of your endeavor.   

I think the key to visualizing is it helps you to hone in on the person you need to become in order to do the things you want to do in life.   It helps you to identify the action steps. And like I said, it builds your faith because you come to strongly believe something (first subconsciously, then consciously) that you don’t see in the physical world in front of you.   You begin to feel the truth, and recognize the existence and possibility of something that you don’t see with your physical eyes in the physical world. You begin to see it in the spiritual realm, through the eyes of faith.

I’m grateful to be reminded of this practice.   This is definitely something that I’m re-implementing as a daily habit, or at least a frequent habit.   Visualizing, in addition to praying and meditating, are going to be the triumvirate of practices that will help me to get from point A to point B more efficiently and impactfully.   I’m really looking forward to this, because now I’m clearer than ever before on what I want to do, and how I want to do it. And I finally have the fearlessness and determination to do it!   Oh, 2020 is about to be LIT!!!   

You with me, Beauties?!  Let’s Do This!!!

Until next time!

Keep Visualizing! 😉
