Some of the world’s greatest musicians, surgeons, writers, CEOs, athletes use this approach – it’s called internalizing success; making your success or the outcomes you want a daily part of your active imagination.

This art works on a simple but fundamental premise that what you focus on, you attract in your life. The greatest inventions of today began as an idea in somebody’s mind.

And now there is scientific data to support this premise. Scientists believe that our mind experiences real and imaginary actions in similar ways. So every time your brain learns something new, the neurons inside of it create a pathway. The more you use this pathway the more it becomes a habit.

Let’s explore some ways to internalize the results we want:

1. Visualization – As soon as you wake up, spend the next three minutes imagining and feeling your best day ever.

2. Vision board – Visuals communicate ideas and stories instantly with impact and emotion. Kate Perry in an interview with MTV described how as a nine-year-old, she had created her vision board by pasting a picture of her favorite star, Selena, (who had then just won a Grammy Award), holding her golden statuette. Fifteen years later, Kate was nominated for her first Grammy Award.

3. Affirmations – An affirmation like a mantra is a powerful statement that describes the outcome or the goal that you are aiming for. It functions on the simple premise that you become what you think. Reiterating an affirmation several times a day not only keeps your mind focused on the goal, but also strengthens your resolve. Once you repeat your affirmations daily, they become a part of your sub-conscious mind and subliminally prime your whole being for that state of energy. Using clarity, length of time, frequency and intensity in affirmations adds power to your results.

Make the outcome of your one idea the daily part of your SPARK!
