I-dealise

Getting super clear about what ideally you want

V-isualise

Creating a vivid picture of that ideal. 18 times golf major winner Jack Nicklaus visualised every shot he made before taking it. 

V-erbalise

Repeating ‘I am’ statements about your future self…the traits you want to develop or the person you need to become to achieve the things you want to achieve. Positive self-talk.

M-aterialise

Create a plan and have the discipline to consistently execute on the plan to turn this dream into the reality.

Your subconscious brain is an incredibly powerful tool. It does not distinguish between the real and the imagined and so will get to work on making this goal, which you have vividly brought to life through this process of IVVM, a reality.
