Visualize Your Future Rich Self
If you’re finding it hard to motivate yourself to save money, then having a clear mental image of yourself at the end of your goal might help push you forward. Whether you’re picturing yourself as a rich retiree, going on lavish vacations, or living in a big home, these visualizations can be just the push you need to start saving money.
And there’s research out there to back this up. Your brain’s processes are shaped by visualization exercises similarly to how they’re shaped by actually doing something, meaning that you’ll hardwire yourself to achieve your goals even if you aren’t there just yet.
