You have an amazing part of your mind that most people totally underutilize. It has very much to do with how we focus on things, and the saying goes “where focus goes, energy flows”. Let me show you how it works before I tell you what it is.
My college boy needed a new car. With CoViD and the chip shortage looming the best value was a 2021 Kia Soul. I asked him after he got his car if he noticed for Kia’s around. He said before he bought it “oh there’s a box car”, and after buying “I see Kia’s everywhere now”.
The part of his mind responsible for this shift in focus is the Reticular Activating System or RAS. The RAS screens all sensory information out with the exception of things for survival and success. In my son’s case the car was an indicator for success.
So when we have written out our goals and dreams and put them where we can constantly visualize them we are training our brain and our RAS to focus on what is important for our success and survival. For me I have an annual objectives sheet that includes what I need to do as well as what I want to achieve. My longer term visual queue is a unicorn.
