Visualisation is a simple way of communicating with yourself by using visual creative imagery to physically see yourself achieving your goals. Here are my 5 tips to successful visualization: WRITE YOUR GOALS DOWN As mentioned in my previous post, to successfully achieve your goals you need to set bold but yet realistic goals that fit a part of the bigger picture. You have to write your goals down on a paper and keep them in a place where you will be consistently reminded of them. You can keep them in your purse or journal (if you have one).
