What is visualization?
Short Answer
Visualization is sensory rehearsal: you picture a process or performance to prime perception, planning, and execution under real constraints.
A Practical Template
- Visualize the first 60 seconds (not the whole story).
- Name the obstacles you expect to meet.
- Rehearse the response to each obstacle.
- Start immediately (before the image fades).
Failure Mode
Visualization works best when it is paired with constraints and a real next step. If it becomes a substitute for action, it drifts into fantasy.
