Envisioning will help you create the future that you desire and deserve.

I never thought about the term envisioning. I was always daydreaming how my life would be in the future

This is based on my personal experience, on my career. I was in the middle of writing, and I had a lightbulb moment, and the word envisioning came up in my head. I always think about how I can do this in a way that not everyone sees, I am envisioning! Typically, I googled about it and managed to find the explanation that I was looking for. It was a word of the day for me.

I share a summary of this piece in that I have included the main reasons why envisioning can help you create the life that you desire. Envisioning is a significant step in the process of success. It allows you to feel and see what can be based on the actions you take today for the future that you desire.

What is envisioning and why is it important?

“Envisioning means using your imagination to see yourself in the future — what Wharton School of Business researchers calls ‘the leadership skill of time travel”.

‘You close your eyes and get a visual picture of what you want! It’s daydreaming with a meaning.

What you envision, you can achieve. There is power in imagining your future self and visualizing what you desire becoming a reality. When you envision what will be, it helps you create and make an action plan for success.

Envisioning your ideal future helps you dream, set goals, build your strengths, address your development needs, and map your path to success. Also when you have a clearer vision you will plan better, and you will have a greater chance to reach your goals and live the life you want to live.

So, what are the benefits of envisioning?

You will gain clarity

You need to decide exactly what it is you want to achieve. This is the first step toward the clarity of your goals. You will start with envisioning what you want your future to look like.

At this stage, you should not worry about the plan or how you would do it. Just get clear on what you want to accomplish.

It will help you to consider the reality

There is a difference between dreaming and envisioning. Dreaming allows you to pretend what the future can be. While envisioning you will consider the reality of what will happen based on the decisions you’re making now.

It will give you something to focus on.

This is the best part as this will give you the motivation to stay focused in my opinion. This will prevent you from being distracted too.

To sacrifice today for what you want tomorrow can be challenging at times particularly since it is only you who can see it.

Envisioning that goal and that dream, will relieve some of the pain of discipline in the here and now.

It creates a mental snapshot and gives you a visual image you can imagine

When you visualise the dream, it will give you a positive boost to carry on. It helps you to keep your eye on the prize.

This shows you that a human mind is a powerful tool, you should not underestimate how imagination can impact your future self.

It will unwrap more opportunities

Envisioning gives you more ideas along the way, you learn more about your dreams and goals

You learn more and you gain more, which is a bonus.

Having a clear vision of what you want is crucial.

When you envision the future that you desire, you create mental scenes and new patterns of behaviour.
