This is a continuation of the 30-Day Visualization Trial. More detail about the trial can be found here.

Today there was a useful discovery. Usually when I visualize I sit upright in my computer chair, close my eyes and start visualizing. Lately I’ve moved to laying down and visualizing. That’s been great and I’ve had results doing that.

Visualization outside

Today, out of the blue, I went for a 40-minute walk. When I was done, I realized that during the 40-minute walk I visualized better than any other day of this trial. It all happened naturally too. I didn’t go outside specifically to visualize. As I was walking I could see and feel my goals very vividly all while listening to music. It was like I was in some kind of a zone and it was more than visualization. I really felt like I was in my health goal. The other goals weren’t quite as intense but they were still way easier to visualize than when I’m in the house. It seemed like the perfect temperature, the smooth crispness of the air, and the infinite blue sky did something to me that was unexplainable. I can’t get that feeling in the house, so from now on that will be my primary way of visualizing.

Also, I noticed the time was important too. Today I took that walk at around 9:40am. I’ve taken some walks in the evening and they just don’t have the same effect as walking in the morning.

This all makes sense because I unconsciously visualized like that in my first semester of college. I stayed in an apartment 20 minutes from campus so I just walked to class everyday while listening to music. I would rack up 2-3 hours of walking day just going back and forth from my apartment to the campus. I felt the best during those walks.

I came back home and tried visualizing laying down to see the difference. There was way less intensity and more distractions for my mind to get caught up in.

I’m really looking forward to Day 22.
