Document Summary
Want to have as much clarity around the goal. If goal is too broad has a hard time achieving goal. Depending on the person, everyone"s goal is different. Often times when people set goals it is too broad. Outcome goals, performance goals, process goals, then break them down to smart. Can create imaginary experiences that have the same psychological effects on you. Visualization is just 1 form of imagery through sense of sight. Whether you imagine or practice in your head, both have the same performance outcome. Firing the same neurons from imagining the situation and from actually doing it. Goals: allows us to connect to our goals, gives us fulfillment. Strategies: very specific focus cues, form of rehearsal. Can imagine in ones mind can be helpful productive or destructive. Must take control of images in our minds and our thoughts. Thoughts constantly drive us away from our goals. The slower imagery is, the most impactful it is.
