The Key to Unlocking Your Dreams

Recall how as a kid you dreamed of playing wonderful roles – doctor, lawyer, fireman, hero, maybe even superman or wonder woman! Anything and everything was possible then.

I had a dream for a while of living in a lean-to in the nearby mountains (never did manifest that one.)  I also had a dream of being an artist. That one went underground until a friend “tricked” me into discovering my long-submerged painting talent at age 60.

Actually daydreaming is NOT a waste of time, in spite of our childhood teachers scolding us with *wake up and pay attention.*

Daydreaming is a super powerful KEY to truly getting what you most want as an adult.  Daydreams in the form of focused visualization can transform your deepest desires to reality.

Do YOU have a dream you want to bring into reality? The first step is to escape the stress and relax down into the Alpha brain state that was so natural for us as kids.

The next step is to carve out a 10 minute slot for a focused visualization of actually *having* what you desire – make your daydream as detailed and real as possible.

The more often you do this, the more convinced your powerful subconscious mind will become – and the more likely it will push you to take the appropriate actions to achieve your dream.

If you’re *really serious* about achieving your dreams, there’s a way to instantly get your brain into Alpha and achieve those dreams like a magician: http://www.SelfGrowthPlanet.com

Do We Create Future Memories of Success?

When you take a few minutes to think about what you are going to do over the weekend, you’re actually visualizing success with something in the future.

 Many ultra successful people use a process of waking dreaming (communly called visualization) to actually create future memories of success that then drive their actions.

What is a future memory?

A waking dream starts out as a daydream, or visualization. But each time the visualization is revisited, the neural networks associated with it are physically strengthened.

Eventually, if the dvisualization is repeated enough, what started out as a daydream becomes a dominant vision of a future memory. The key word here is DOMINANT.

You can bet that all successful people started out with their own collection of personal fears, doubts, and perceived limitations. But as their dream was encoded into their brain cells through repetition, it gradually became more dominant than their fears and doubts.

Soon the neural network holding their dream is stable enough to totally override those old fears and doubts. This is NOT a made-up scenario. It is solidly based on modern neuroscience.

 Think about that for a moment. This is a powerful key to success. BUT here’s what you have to remember: Every repeated thought builds its own strong physical neural networks. This is why it is so important to consciously use this process to build future memories of success — not failure.

8 Top Strategies to Achieve Uncommon Success

dreamlandscapeThere are 8 proven strategies highly successful people have always used to overcome obstacles to their goals. Properly applied, these same principles can also serve as a catalyst for your success.Â

1. Get Aligned
It’s important to first clearly define exactly what you are truly passionate about then find a way to become successful at that passion. Only passion stirs up the kind of energy you’ll need when you hit those inevitable bumps in the road. Set passionate goals.

2. Focus on your Priorities
Many people try to fit their dreams into their life complaining there are not enough hours in the day to make it happen. If you want your dream to become a reality, make it a priority. Otherwise it will never be more than a pipe dream, and you’re just setting yourself up for disappointment.

Making something important happen in your life requires more than just a goal it requires a REAL plan of action to get you on target! Create a realistic goal plan that fits the reality of your life.

3. Don’t Force It
Don’t try to force something that isn’t happening. Go for the type of inspired, joyful action that comes along with pursuing a goal in true alignment with your dreams. This causes things to flow along easily and without energy-consuming efforting.

Contrast this to forcing yourself to take an action you really don’t want to take. Most likely this will take you twice as long, and you’ll bump up against obstacles. Whenever possible swim with the current  not against it. And stick to your goal plan.

4. Manage your Stress
Stress throws us off balance and into an older, less productive portion of our brain. It prepares you to fight or run. But it does not prepare you to successfully achieve a goal unless that goal is to escape a tiger.

5. Build your Strengths
Success comes easier and more quickly when you focus on your strengths, and delegate in those areas where you are less capable. Your natural talents are those things you do so easily and naturally. They contain the seeds of your greatest potential accomplishments.

t’s very important to identify and work on your natural talents and abilities. This is where self knowledge pays off in big dollars and accomplishments. And don’t forget to also your build your mind power.

6. Disarm Your Inner Saboteur
Fear of failure is the biggest internal fear most people will ever have to face. It is why so many ideas never get beyond the idea stage and why most new projects are started, but never finished.

It’s okay to have these feelings, but it is important to identify them for what they are. Most fears of failure go all the way back to childhood, and are not even accurate for who you are today. Drag them up into the daylight, and take serious action to face them head on.

7. Develop Resilience
The truth is you will have setbacks along the way. This is inevitable. The sooner you accept that, the better. Often if you look closely, you will find these setbacks are directly related to your innermost thoughts, fears and beliefs. This is because we create what we focus on, including those things we don’t want. Â

Don’t get stopped by these bumps in the road. Learn from them. As you work through them you will become the person you need to be to create your dreams.

And along the way, be sure to refine your stress management skills. This is an essential key to resilience!

8. Use the Power of Visualization
The muscles we use to physically take action in our lives begins in the mind. That is why all great golfers, tennis players, basketball players, dancers, etc. visualize themselves performing successfully.

An experiment conducted by Aussie psychologist Alan Richardson reported a 23% performance improvement among people who visualized every day for 20 days. Richardson found that the most effective visualization occurs when the visualize feels and sees what he is doing. Use visualization to power-up your success.
