Why is it that visualization is so unsuccessful for so many people?
The first question is: when you visualize, do you visualize in the first person or in the third person? For example, when you imagine reaching your goal, do you see yourself in your goal or do you feel yourself reaching for your goal? When you see yourself reaching for your goal, you are not in the experience of yourself. As a result, the power of the image is not as great as when you only feel yourself reaching for your goal. In fact, some research has shown that imagining in the first person is in fact more powerful in generating movement toward a goal than imagining in the third person.
