This isn’t a version of ‘fake it until you make it’, but an crucial frame of mind related to the law of attraction. You not only visualize where you want to be, but in essence believe that you are already there in some manner.

I found this approach incredibly powerful in my career. Before I achieved a certain milestone, I would visualize what it would be like once I was there, and begin to carry myself like I was there in the present moment, doing this frequently allowed me to emotionally connect with the feeling, even though logically I knew it wasn’t yet reality. Sometimes it would take years to manifest, and reality wouldn’t align 100% with how I envisioned it, it never does.

With whatever goal you have, whether it’s your career, improving your dating, creative ambitions, visualization is a powerful tool, especially if you can envision yourself being there in the moment. If you are taking actionable steps to get where you want to be, it isn’t delusion.
