HAVENT DONE A THREAD IN FAR TOO LONG (many more yet to cum)
Somebody asked me about VISUALISATION. And rather than repeat myself 100X times:
THREAD.

Before anything else.
We must first make CLEAR:
The subconscious mind:
- cannot discern
- does not discriminate
- is a data collection & processing MACHINE
It doesn’t know the difference between an imagined experience and a REAL memory.
This is where the magic happens.

Applications of visualisation are most easily observed in sports. We’ll look there first.
Now, whether we are swinging a bat or throwing a jab.
What we are doing when we practice/train
Is essentially training our nervous system to execute a very specific sequence of movement.

All practice is centred around making this process more fluid.
More perfect form.
More accurate precision.
Faster speed of execution.
Right? Simple stuff. Just training your limbs to move into particular points in space in an order.

Well, when we use advanced brain imaging technology to map brain activity,
And scan someone VISUALISING a sequence ie kicking a ball
We can see that the VERY SAME parts of the brain “light up” as if they were doing it in real-time.

If the very same parts of the brain activate,
Surely this would facilitate the development of neural pathways (learning) Right? Makes sense?
We’ve done studies to test exactly this.

In 1996 SOME GEEK did a study:
Free throw shooting, he gathered three groups.
1) no practice
2) physical practice
3) ONLY mental practice
After 30 days.
IMPROVEMENTS MADE were as follows:
1) 0%
2) 24%
3) 23%
Absolutely incredible. Mentally rehearsing is virtually IDENTICAL.

If you only get ONE thing out of this thread, remember this:
- brain is dumb dumb and easily fooled
- it cannot distinguish between mental image and real event
- everything you picture literally wires and trains your brain to execute the sequence exactly how you see it

Another example. Same thing.
Rugby players. Hip thrusts.
They used THEIR MIND to produce PHYSICAL RESULTS.
Do you understand how fucking insane that is?
YOU CAN LITERALLY BUILD MUSCLE BY VIVIDLY SEEING YOURSELF TRAINING.

Is this clear yet? I will say it until I’m blue in the face. There is virtually ZERO difference between reality & thinking.
Now that you know this.
Make it a habit of seeing yourself winning before it happens.
See yourself executing [WHATEVER] with perfect form. Train brain.

Jack Nicholson, GOAT golfer
Has famously said that he *NEVER* hit a shot, not even in practice, without first clearly seeing it in his head.
Visualisation essentially allows you to PHYSICALLY ENACT long exposure photos.
See the sequence. Teach nervous system. Execute on it.

Now. Because most people suck and are stupid, they actually use this INSANE superpower
But in a way that HARMS them.
Instead of teaching brain perfect execution, they teach it poor form.
They see every single way they could fuck something up. And guess what happens? FAILURE

Do not mistakenly think that this is limited to physical pursuits.
If you’re giving a speech.
See yourself delivering it FLAWLESSLY.
The crowd hanging on your every word.
Laughing at every joke.
Giving a standing ovation at the end etc.

Now there is a BEST way to do this.
But even poor visualisation will have tremendous results.
Perfect visualisation is INTENSE.
Get your breathing involved. Posture. Sounds. Smells. See EVERYTHING. Every minute detail.
The closer you can get to 1:1 reality, the STRONGER it is

And just like everything else, it’s a TRAINABLE *SKILL* that you can strengthen over time.
Can practice it anytime. Even right now.
Look at the room you’re in for 5 seconds.
Close eyes. Recreate it in your head perfectly. Check how much you missed. Try again.

Can progressively overload this.
By decreasing time taken to observe environment.
AND THEN INTRODUCE COMPREHENSION.
How much can you read by looking at a page of a book for 1 second?
Literal superpower.

Now that you know this.
No excuse for sucking.
SEEING yourself WIN with perfect form *teaches your brain to do exactly that*
IT’S SERIOUSLY THAT SINPLE.
