WANT TO FORM A NEW PERSONALITY? WHAT YOU VISUALIZE IS WHAT YOU GET

With dedication and consistent effort, we have the remarkable ability to transform our Presence and form a new personality. Psychologists have recently pinpointed essential elements for effective personality change. First and foremost, you must genuinely desire to change. Then, you need to commit to adopting new habits, which includes adjusting your thoughts and behaviors. This commitment is not just a decision; it becomes a powerful catalyst for taking charge of your own transformation.??

Imagine your personality as a collection of habits that shape your thoughts and actions. To change your personality, you must alter these habits, which requires unwavering commitment, repetition, and dedication.??

One way to change our experience is to take advantage of the brain’s elasticity through visualization. Viktor Frankl, a distinguished psychiatrist faced unimaginable suffering during his time in Auschwitz. Despite the horrors he encountered, he emerged resilient by envisioning himself lecturing to students after his release. Through the power of visualization, he was able to detach his mind from his current suffering and craft a vision of his future as a professor in America. This ability to visualize empowered him to exercise his freedom as a human being, help others, and think more clearly at critical times.??

Consider the incredible feats of athletes, many of whom harness the power of visualization and affirmations to push their physical and mental limits. Icons like Michael Phelps (swimming), Lindsey Vonn (skiing), LeBron James (basketball), Ronaldinho (soccer), Katie Ledecky (swimming), Richard Sherman (football), and Serena Williams (tennis) all incorporate mental imagery into their training to enhance performance during high-stakes competitions.??

Visualization serves as a powerful tool for personal growth. It invites us to explore how we wish to present ourselves and allows us to envision our experiences with those characteristics. Engaging in visualization activates the brain's flexibility, and over time, we start to embody these traits—not as entirely different personas, but as elevated versions of ourselves. This journey is not merely about change; it's an exercise of hope and optimism as we unlock our potential for personal growth.?
