Creative Visualization Book Review
I have in my library an old book with yellowed pages, which has always been difficult for me to get beyond the first chapters. I was put off by the words “Inner Guides” and some of the early illustrations, however this time I persevered and completed the book finding it both interesting and informative. They say don’t judge a book by its cover! Or maybe the first few pages.
I just googled the title to find a new edition available if you are interested in creative visualization and how it can help you. I will give you a brief idea of the areas covered in the book.
There is a selection on the use of visualization in business and how it can improve decision making. How to become more efficient by concentrating on the job at hand and not worrying about other things. Also how visualization can help you improve various skills. One of the skills considered is selling, another is improving relationships both in the workplace and outside. The book demonstrates how these improvements can be transferred to other situations.
Something we can probably benefit from is improving our memory.
There is a section on how to improve short-term and long-term memory and recall, with a brief description of how to use these methods. Other books are recommended to fully illustrate the techniques. There are illustrations of mind maps discussed as well, with the reasons why they aid memory and recall.
You’ll also find a section on visualization for better health and how creative visualization can be used in almost any area of your life. For example, improving your sports technique. Improve confidence or overcome shyness; breaking down the barriers that are delaying your progress when trying to achieve goals and many other ways to benefit from its power.
I use visualization all the time, it has helped me get a place at university, by passing exams quickly; He has helped me find a property and find a way to buy and renovate it, also at work, to improve my sales techniques. Another example was allowing me to set up an online business, which was one of my goals that I had toyed with for years. If you are looking to change any area of your life and you don’t use visualization yet, the book could teach you how to use this technique and might help you.
So, to summarize, the power of creative visualization can be used to improve many areas of your life. It can be used in business or in sports to improve your performance; in achieving goals, improving energy levels, coping with pain, improving health, and overcoming shyness. In fact, the described methods can help you in almost any area. You will also find a list of additional reading. So whatever your goals, I recommend you read this book.
