Can Envisioning Help Win a Job? (Free Videos)

“If you want to change the world, first change your perception of it”, said Deepak Chopra, one of my favourite authors in his book “The Way of the Wizard”.
Eastern mystics knew thousands of years ago what science is beginning to quantify in scientific terms, that our minds create our experiences. I know this sounds like “New Age mumbo-jumbo” to some of you, but there is a compelling body of evidence … a growing body of evidence, to support it.
Most of this mind work occurs sub-consciously. We are unaware of it and it can be either good or bad, often holding us back as though we were an airplane in a holding pattern just flying round in circles; the status quo. The good news is that, just as the pilot can change direction, so can we. One of the ways to do this is by envisioning.
Envisioning means to “picture mentally, especially some future event or events”. We can do this for all parts of our lives and in the process change the outcomes. Fortunately for us, this means we can change the outcomes of our job search or career goals.
Essentially, what you do is:
- Write your goals in present tense eg, “I am a successful person”; “I am an insurance manager” (this is called an affirmation)
- Envision yourself successfully fulfilling the role of insurance manager
- Take action to become an insurance manager
- Restate the affirmation and take the other action consistenly eg, every morning repeat the affirmation so that it becomes entrained in your consciousness
The third step is important. The universal laws governing this process can only operate if you take some action. For example, if you are too thin and see yourself as having a muscular body, you must also do some weight lifting to achieve an outcome. The critical difference is that if you see yourself as muscular AND take some action to produce muscle, it WILL happen faster with better results than if you had just lifted weights.

Go to this site: http://www.mindmovies.com and watch the introductory video on the home page. Then, download and watch one or two of the free movies.
Once you understand how it’s done, create some affirmations and visions to help you achieve your own goals in life.
On Saturday I will provide you some resources that will give you a more in-depth understanding of the whole process.
