Treasure Map Technique

The Treasure Map visualization technique involves creating a visual representation of one’s goals and desires using pictures, words, and symbols. This technique is based on the law of attraction, which suggests that visualizing desired outcomes can help manifest them into reality.

Research has shown that visualization techniques, including the Treasure Map technique, can be effective in improving motivation and goal attainment. A study published in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine found that visualization techniques were associated with significant improvements in exercise behavior among individuals with low levels of motivation.

According to Dr. Joe Dispenza, a renowned neuroscientist and expert in the field of visualization, “When we use visualization to impress upon the subconscious mind what we want, we’re literally changing the program inside us.” By creating a Treasure Map that represents our desired outcomes and focusing on it regularly, we can reprogram our subconscious mind to align our thoughts and behaviors with our goals.

To create a Treasure Map, individuals can gather images, words, and symbols that represent their goals and desires and arrange them on a poster or board. The Treasure Map should be placed in a visible location and reviewed daily to reinforce the desired outcomes.

Process focussed

Michael Fred Phelps is an American former competitive swimmer and the most successful and most decorated Olympian of all time, with a total of 28 medals. Phelps also holds the all-time records for Olympic gold medals, Olympic gold medals in individual events, and Olympic medals in individual events.

During a conversation with Phelps ( You can watch the video here,) a question was asked … “In your last event in Rio, if you were to place second and come away with a silver, instead of gold, would that haunt you?”

Phelps’s answer was .. “No – because I know my coach (Bob Bowman) and I did absolutely everything we could do to prepare ourselves to win. I’m willing to accept any results that I get.”

Phelps response shifted the focus from outcome to process, and in doing so, revealed his mindset as it relates to focusing on the PROCESS instead of the outcome.

Phelps’ answer reveals why PROCESS-FOCUSED thinking is the mindset that we all need to adapt to really achieve top performance.

In conclusion: Stop focusing on and obsessing with the outcome. Focus on what you CAN control, which is busting your ass every day to succeed, and trust that doing so will allow you to achieve top-level performance.
