Coming into college I knew what I wanted to study, but I didn’t know what I ultimately wanted my life to look like. I created a strong image of my ideal future through the “Visualize” portion of the VSE text. Along with the text was the dream paper assignment. Both of these were integral in completely changing my work ethic. Looking back on it, I wonder how I went about my life without a PRECISE image of what I wanted in life. Along with seeing an amazing future were all of the steps I have taken to reach the goal.
Though a small portion of the text, the deep breathing cycles in the “Execute” chapter made a big impact on the way I think in high stress situations. The mix of anxiety and public speaking has always been a weakness of mine. This was no longer a weakness after trying out breathing cycles, along with more extensive preparation. My breathing cycle was as follows: 5 second inhale, 5 second hold, and a 5 second exhale repeated three times. This simple technique of relaxation worked great.

I am now regularly visualizing my homework and studying what I have to do each day. Before I started doing this, my whole college career I would get super overwhelmed and stressed out. With visualization I find myself less stressed out and I work more efficiently. Not only has visualization helped me improve my Jiu-Jitsu, school work, and stress less but has given me more confidence in myself. I feel like it is a life hack and I call it practicing in the future because I am simulating what it will be like.
