You have probably heard that athletes visualise winning moments in their minds to help prepare them for a big game - it helps calm their nerves, they know clearly what to do, and it can increase success.

But did you know that you can use visualisation in other areas of your life as well, to do things like improve confidence and reduce the effect of anxiety?

If you want to take your personal development to the next level, then visualisation is the tool you need in your toolbox. In this episode, I’m explaining all the best research findings, and I’ll teach you EXACTLY how to use mental imagery to increase your success.
