Morning Platitude from The GratiDude

I’ve been seeing lately and I posted a video of the visualization training exercises done in private preparation meetings by the blue Angels flying squadron.

If you haven’t seen this short video, watch it and think about it for a second.

Here are some of the most elite pilots on earth from a physical capability and previous training perspective and they are using a practice that is as ancient as time itself and as inexpensive as the very air we breathe.

This is the equivalent of Eddie Van Halen in 1982 playing the air guitar for practice.

The reality is that Eddie was playing and practicing this way, but it was probably in his bedroom when he was 12 years old because pretty soon he was actually doing it professionally and from there he started honing his craft, but you can bet in his mind little Eddie was visualizing new notes to learn, some cool licks and solos that could take place the next time he strapped on his favorite guitar.

And visualization is just one element that helps align your body mind and heart in the direction of pursuing and achieving your own dreams in the endless pursuit of your own personal greatness.

While visualization can be a powerful tool for goal setting and motivation, there’s no scientific evidence to suggest that simply imagining something will make it happen.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

Visualization’s Psychological Impact:

Visualization can positively influence your mindset and behavior, leading to increased confidence and motivation to pursue your goals.

Real-World Outcomes:

Real-world outcomes are influenced by a combination of factors, including actions, circumstances, and external events, not solely by visualization.

Visualization as a Tool:

Visualization can be a valuable tool for goal setting and achieving success, but it’s important to remember that it’s a tool within a larger framework of action and effort.

Focus on Action:

While visualization can be helpful, it’s crucial to translate your visualizations into concrete actions and strategies to increase your chances of achieving your goals.

In this Blue Angels Squadron exercise, they are being led by a squadron leader, and they are practicing this visualization in a group around a table, so it is definitely not just an independent exercise.

Group guided meditation, for example, is another fantastic experience and can even be done over a zoom call or with large groups very effectively.

Hypnosis, however, is effective in person much more so than remotely and you also need a willing and compliant suitable open-minded subject because otherwise they will not allow themselves to be hypnotized. Hypnosis is a completely voluntary process where you know what’s going on and you simply release control gradually during the induction process to allow your subconscious to take over the conversation in simple terms.

One of the biggest key recipe ingredients for pursuing your dreams, however, has to do with the crew that you surround yourself with or that you spend the most time with. If that is coworkers or people outside of work that you socialize with, whomever, you really need to check what kind of dialogue and wording and communication is being done between you and all of these key people and if it is aligned with growing a positive mental attitude, and keeping you feeling aligned or in a heart coherent space.

What happens very often is that we lower our frequency or the quality of our conversations to meet what’s going on in the room when we are far better off either abstaining from those conversations or instead taking a more active role in choosing to be more like a thermostat, changing the temperature in the room, by elevating the dialogue and if need be explaining even why you are doing it in real time.

Having to elevate and put the room’s frequency on your back will become tiresome, so it’s important that you have an energy exchange that is healthy where you’re both giving and receiving in your relationship so that you continue to grow and have energy to invest into your own self-care and self-love.

The message from this Oregon Duck Footballista is his scholarship happened by not giving up on his dream, and a daily process of hard work and dedication. Let’s be like this Duck and do our own visualization of what we look like when we complete our next goal.
