DISTANCE OR SIZE

Distance will effect your visualizations. How close or far away is your mental image? Or, how big or small is the image? Essentially, both of these ideas these work the same way, because in our perception, something far away is small and something close is big.

Normally, if you bring an image closer on your visual screen, then it will have more of an impact, and you will “feel” it more intensely. Once again, this idea has uses in therapeutic settings when it may be useful to move a picture further away or bring it closer.

In general, if you want to increase intensity, bring the image closer to you. But for maximal realness, everything will need to be realistically sized. You should see the same image with your eyes closed as what you would see if you were standing in the exact location where your visualization takes place.

Another important aspect of size is how big you are within the visualization. Normally you should be regular size within the visualization for maximum realness. But there are times when you’ll be smaller. If you have fear or a lack of confidence, you may naturally visualize yourself a lot smaller in comparison to the object you fear. But because it’s all within your own mind, you have control of it. You can shrink the object or make yourself bigger as you see fit. Once again, you have full editorial control.

If you make yourself bigger when you’re handling weights in your visualization, the weight will feel a lot lighter. You’re going to feel more confident and more powerful. So it’s definitely worth playing with your size in visualizations. Try imagining yourself ten feet tall as you’re going through your workout and visualizing the different exercises. It will have quite a different feel than if you just go through the visualization at your normal size.

Again, using this aspect this depends on the goal of your visualization. If you’re practicing skills, then most times you will want to replicate reality. But if you want to increase your feelings of power, then dial up the intensity and increase your own size as you do the workout—you’re likely to hit new PR’s.
