The power of absolute certainty
Unleash the Power Within will teach you to confidently pursue your goals
“If you develop the absolute sense of certainty that powerful beliefs provide, then you can get yourself to accomplish virtually anything, including those things that other people are certain are impossible.”
– Tony Robbins
What’s holding you back from achieving your goal? It’s not that you don’t have enough time or the resources to accomplish your objective — it’s that you don’t feel certain you’ll succeed.
When you lack certainty in your life, you’re aimless. You’re not confident in your abilities, which leads to you becoming unable to take action. You’re frozen.
Discover how to commit wholeheartedly to what you’re passionate about, because in order to get the results you want so badly, you have to feel 100% certain that you are dedicated to your vision and seeing it through. One technique used to create absolute certainty is image training. Image training involves visualizing the results you want over and over again in your mind. Here’s how you can use this powerful technique to create absolute certainty within yourself.
Look at the situation as an outsider
Imagine yourself reaching your goal — let’s say it’s delivering an important presentation in front of a large crowd. What does this moment look like from an outside perspective? Create a mental image of yourself delivering your presentation. What are you wearing? What’s your body language like? How many people are in the room? Are you standing behind a podium? Visualize yourself successfully delivering the presentation and a wild roar of applause from the crowd.
Identify the failures
You feel uncertain about your goal — that’s why you’ve turned to image training. Now it’s time to examine your hang-ups: What makes you anxious about your visualization? Are you fumbling over your words while delivering your speech? Are you slouching and projecting that you’re not confident? Notice the things that stand out as being wrong when you look at the situation from an outsider’s perspective.
Then, think about what would actually cause these mistakes to happen in the real world. Did you show up to your presentation without practicing your speech enough? Are you unsure of yourself? Think about how you would react to these imagined setbacks in real life. You set yourself up for the best when you visualize the worst.
Replay the scenario until your vision runs without a hitch. One of the central focus points at Unleash the Power Within is about learning how to turn away from negative thoughts and behaviors. These limiting beliefs do nothing but hold you back. By freeing yourself from ideas that don’t serve you, you can truly accomplish anything, including completing the Tony Robbins firewalk.
Step into the story
Further your image training by creating a multi-sensory experience. Envision what each of your senses is reacting to — what do you see, hear, touch, taste and smell in this scenario? Visualize the situation and include as many details as you can so that when it comes time to act out the scenario in real life, you’ll be absolutely certain about what you need to do. Much like the sensory component of image training, the training you’ll go through at Unleash the Power Within prepares you for real-world situations. The immersive three-and-a-half-day event challenges you to identify what’s holding you back, acknowledge what you truly want and identify how to pursue these goals in your daily life. After leaving the event, you can directly apply these practices to your daily life.
Make a record of your image
Now that you have the entire situation in your mind — and are absolutely certain in your conviction — write down your visualization. Make a record of every detail you experienced during your image training. Once you have it all down, read it repeatedly. You can even record yourself reading the story out loud and listen to it over and over on your headphones. This process will instill absolute certainty in you — that you are capable of achieving this goal and you know exactly how it will play out
