The Benefits of Guided Visualization for Athletes
Enhanced Performance!
In order to be able to accomplish anything in life you first have to be able to see it in your mind. A well developed guided visualization helps you become intentional about the outcome you are seeking. Clear, detailed, positive mental images greatly increase the likelihood of achieving what you have imagined.
What is a Guided Visualization?
Seeing is Believing!
A guided visualization is a powerful mental technique that involves vividly picturing detailed, positive images using all of your senses to imagine scenarios or outcomes in order to mentally see yourself performing at a high level.
How Our Process Works
It’s in the Details!
Guided visualization works by engaging the mind in structured mental imagery to simulate real life experiences. The mind does not differentiate between what is real and what is imagined. Our process involves gathering very specific information about the outcome you seek, then producing a sound track to lead you through your personalized visualization, including the steps needed to reach that end. The result? A crystal clear mental pathway to achieve your dreams.
The Benefits of Guided Visualization for Athletes?
The main benefit of a guided visualization is to enhance the mental state of an athlete. Many athletes spend thousands of hours developing their bodies and mastering specific skills, yet fail to work on their mental game. If successfully developed, via a specific guided visualization, an athlete can begin to bring the same strength and determination to their mental state that they have already applied to their physical state. Some specific benefits include:
– Improved performance and skill development
– Increased confidence and focus
– Faster reaction times and decision making
– Stress reduction and anxiety control
– Faster recovery from injury and a reduction in fear of reinjury
– Increased motivation and mental toughness
– Better game strategy and awareness
– Enhanced mind-body connection
In summary, there are many important benefits to using a strong, guided visualization. But most important is the cultivation of a new way to think and thus getting better results for your efforts
What is a Guided Visualization?
A guided visualization helps you start with the end in mind. It is a clear, detailed, vivid picture of an outcome you are ultimately pursuing. The more details you can add to the picture involving all of your senses, the more real it becomes to your mind, which in turn greatly enhances the possibilities of it occurring. Your visualization then becomes the fuel needed to engage in the work required to get the outcome you are seeking. Some components of a good guided visualization are as follows:
– A clear intention or goal
– Vivid sensory details
– Being in a relaxed, receptive state of mind
– A well developed, structured journey including:
– Preparation, visualization, transformation, integration
– Emotional and psychological engagement
– Active participation and personalization
– Anchoring to the real world
In summary, a guided visualization is a vital component in helping you to reach higher and higher levels of performance in every realm of life. It is worth the time and effort it takes to build it.
How Our Process Works?
The IntentOne process works by asking questions that enable you to develop a customized visualization incorporating all of the necessary elements involved to be the most effective. Our questions begin with your why and then move into a detailed narrative of your ultimate objective, including what it looks like, feels like, smells like etc. We include some necessary gratitude and your emotional responses. Finally, we give you the option of producing your visualization which you can spend time picturing every day to help you move to where you want to go. Some of the key components include:
– Relaxation to get your mind into a receptive state
– Your reasons why (purpose)
– A detailed description of where you want to end up (the picture)
– Adding in specific focus areas leading to that end
– Getting all of your senses involved
– Being grateful
– Adding in emotion
– Rehearsing the images by daily practice
– Having the ability to modify your visualization as needed
In summary: The IntentOne process works best in direct proportion to your willingness to take the time needed to develop the best possible visualization and your faithfulness to work the process every day. The sky is the limit to what you can accomplish once you become intentional about it. See it. Believe it. Do it.
