Do you ever find yourself imagining the ideal version of yourself and your future? It’s natural to wonder about the what-ifs and hypothetical scenarios in life. So, how much of this can actually help us make better decisions in the present? After all, making decisions that align with our core values is one of the keys to living a fulfilling and meaningful life.
Positive Intelligence (PQ) offers a solution by tapping into the power of our Sage, the inner voice of wisdom and insight. Through strengthening our connection with our Sage and managing our Saboteurs – those negative thought patterns and behaviours that impede our progress – we can unlock our full potential and achieve our goals. As we cultivate our Sage power, we develop greater self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and mental fitness, enabling us to nurture positive relationships, surmount obstacles, and achieve success in both our personal and professional lives.
But how can we leverage this Sage power when faced with a critical decision? This is where visualization becomes a powerful tool. By envisioning our desired outcomes, we can make decisions that align with our objectives. In order to do this visualization exercise, create some time and space for yourself. Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Now, try to imagine yourself as your older self, near to the end of your life, at peace with the life you have led – looking back on all the experiences that shaped you, the things you held most dear, and the achievements and people you feel most grateful for. Think about the decisions that would have needed to be made in order to get to that position, from the perspective of your older self. Although you might not always get flawless answers, this method can definitely help you gain a clearer sense of which direction and/or decision is right for you.
This visualization method can also be applied to business decisions. For instance, if you are faced with choosing between two options in a potential business deal, imagine yourself at the receiving end of the desired outcome and consider which decision would have facilitated that result.
By utilizing the guidance of our Sage power, we can confidently navigate the inevitable forks in the road and create the reality we truly desire.
