It’s Not the Outcome You Should Pre-visualise, but the Process …

I just looked at this:


Apart from the fact I suspect a dig at Paul McKenna's work, presumably "I Can Make You Thin" (and maybe NLP in general) in this ...

There were two comments particularly interested me.

First, the idea of visualising the steps you'll take in achieving a goal rather than just 'the outcome'.

Now, I must say, when I'm doing coaching work, it has always made sense to me to future pace 'the doing' as well as 'the being'. And it ties up with the idea of thinking of 'directions' instead of 'outcomes'.

Nevertheless, is it really 'a disaster' to pre-visualise you being the perfect you, as Wiseman states?

Second, the idea of rewarding effort instead of (or perhaps, as well as) results as this creates resilience (tenacity).

Any comments?

Anyone read the whole book?

Cheers
