Here are 5 powerful tools to accelerate goal attainment:

  (1)  Idealize.  Idealize the kind of life you want to have in a week, month, year and 5 years from now.  Imagine what     it would look like if every part of your life were exactly as you would want it to be in every respect.

  (2)  Verbalize.  Clearly state what you want to do, have, be and accomplish, using positive, present and personal      affirmations (e.g., “I earn $150,000 per year.”  “I only eat healthy foods with no added sugar.”)

  (3)  Visualize.  Successful people visualize the things they want, and unsuccessful people visualize the things they don’t want.  In visualizing, you project your mind forward and soak your mind in a vivid picture (with you in it) of your ideal future goal, imagining what it would look like if already achieved.

(4)  Emotionalize.  Get the feeling you would experience and enjoy if your goal were already realized.  For example, imagine and create the feelings of pride, happiness, satisfaction, pleasure and joy you would have once you complete the goal.

(5)  Realize.  In the realization phase, after you have gone through the first 4 steps, simply relax and let go of the process and let it take care of itself in its own time.  Successful people have an attitude of calm, confident expectation (never rushed or hurried), relaxed and optimistic, with absolute belief that everything is conspiring to bring them exactly what they want, at exactly the right time.

Whatever images and statements you repeat over and over to yourself in your conscious mind will eventually be accepted by your subconscious mind, which will then go to work to bring those goals into your life.
