The ability to visualize things clearly is one of the most powerful tools available to anyone. In fact, visualization is so important that it’s been called the mind’s second sight. Just as a camera takes pictures to help you visualize something, your brain works a bit like a camera. It takes sensory information such as sights, sounds, and other stimuli and processes these into images that you can see and use for future reference. These mental images are called ‘visualizations’ – which is where the power of visualizing comes from! Visualization has proven benefits in just about every area of life. From education to psychology experiments, visualization has been repeatedly shown to help us understand problems more easily, retain information longer, be more productive, and make better decisions. That being said, visualization isn’t just useful in ordinary life; it can also be especially beneficial when it comes to overcoming mental challenges such as addiction.
