Ever envision yourself crossing the finish line, scoring a promotion, or acing an exam? That’s great – you’re using visualization to help meet your goals, and you’re headed in the right direction.

New research is putting a unique spin on this theory, however. While traditional “real time” visualization is indeed beneficial, researchers suggest you try “watching” yourself complete a task as if watching a movie instead. Taking on this third-person viewpoint will allow you to see what it would actually take to achieve your goals, a method that is remarkably motivating. In fact, those who took on this third-person perspective did better completing a challenging task than those who pictured themselves from a first person viewpoint.

So the next time you face a hurdle to success, find a quiet setting, relax, and close your eyes. “Watch” the scene from the “audience”, including all the actions necessary to achieve what you wish – and don’t forget pay special attention to the part when you emerge victorious!
