I particularly liked the pointer: “Whatever expression you choose, don’t replace your process simulation with outcome simulation, do them both every day.” I can see that this could be vital to the success of the strategy.

I often use subconscious mind power by writing the six most important tasks for the next day, just before sleep. It sets my mind to work overnight, on aligning my day for achieving them. Whenever I remember to do this little exercise, those very 6 tasks always get done, somehow and as if by magic sometimes! Though I’m just trying to distinguish if this is a process or an outcome visualization (outcome I guess, yet in my sleep I may be taking care of processes, unknowingly)!

“The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn. The bird waits in the egg. In the highest vision of a soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities. Your circumstances may be disagreeable, but they shall not remain so if you only perceive an ideal and strive to reach it. You can’t travel within and stand still without. When you truly change within, these changes will be reflected (in time) in your outer world.” [From As A Man Thinketh So Is He” by James Allen http://freemindpowerbooks.com

My own book was based on the premise of changing our life, habit by habit. It really is the only effective way to make profound, long-term changes for ourselves.

Thinking back I’ve done a bit of both, although I must say more of it has been outcome driven. But that’ll change now.

I’m with Kim – I find vision boards incredibly spooky and found the importance of keeping such tools fresh and updated paramount.

I have also found that visualisations with a strong emotion (that includes ‘non-belief’ interestingly) are almost guaranteed. e.g. ‘I would like to achieve x’ with a strong emotion or energy behind it that says ‘but I’m not sure I will’ actually creates resistance and circumstances that sure enough ‘not sure I will’ is what happens.

Understanding the process of visualising the process (!) in the way described here will really help to overcome and improve this for me as follows:

i) Small steps feel far more achievable and realistic

ii) Small steps can be rewarded with increased energy/emotion behind them rather than the ‘whole’ energy being used purely on visualising the outcome alone

I’ll be interested to see how my results improve and my initial feeling is that this approach will create a more fulfilling experience too.

Whilst typing this I’ve just learned my copy of Career Renegade has been dispatched, look forward to the read – more so now!
