Visualize True False Wise Motivating Achieve:  Car Career

Front

True or false: it's wise and motivating to visualize what you want to achieve: a car, a career, an achievement?


 

Back False. This is demotivating

Practice Mental contrasting instead

After imagining what you want to achieve, mentally contrast that with where you are now. Visualize your toned cheekbones with the puffy face you may have if you eat that cake or beer. This presents your current situation as an obstacle to be overcome to achieve your dreams, and jumpstarts planning and effort.17
