Visualizing and imagining IS a way to success!

Sounds incredible? Well… let me tell you a story…

Greyhound, a famous harness race horse.

As a youngster in high school, I ran the 800 m in track. I was in reasonable condition, but rather lazy. I really didn’t care to do all the training. Yet, I was most of the time second fastest in the school, and was satisfied with that, because I knew how much the other girl trained. I soon found out that I could, on sheer doggedness and a good overall stamina, lay myself in on the heals of the front runners, and simply stay there coasting. Then as we came to the final turn, pull out and have enough energy to beat them. What I utilized was visualization and my imagination.

As I was running, I imagined I was a famous standard breed harness horse. I worked and trained these trotters to race, and so during my 800 m races, I visualized myself as being driven, just like a horse, held back, preserving energy for the final stretch. Often we used two cotton balls, inserted like earplugs in the horse’s ears, to keep them from getting too excited and break out of their clean trot. The cotton balls were attached to a string, running along the reins back to the driver. At just the right moment in the final corner, the driver would “Pull the Cotton” and the extra noise would give the horse an extra lift of energy.

I used that strategy and imagined my “cotton being pulled,”  as I would sprint for home. It worked rather well.  Later as our team rose in standings, I supplemented the imaginary noise with a few friends, who would strategically place themselves in the corner and yell my name.  I had already conditioned myself to that keyword, and the combination of the mental training and the outside trigger gave me many chances to improve our teams standing.

So, if I could do this without any guidance from anyone, how much do you think you could do, if you got a little help from your powerful subconscious mind. It has all the resources, but they are held back by the doubt or limiting beliefs we have. I can help you find those resources, to make you stay in a ‘clean trot.’  I can teach you how to ‘pull your cotton,’ at the right moment for lots of extra power in the final stretch!
