How AI Text Prompts Are Revolutionizing Goal Setting
Text to Image AI generators are not only a remarkable new design technology, but they are also a powerful window into how our own human intelligence works - highlighting the interplay between language and visual imagination. For anyone who has iterated prompt responses in Midjourney or Dalle-E, etc., it is striking how small details and precise language can impact generated image results. This AI-driven process is very similar to how we routinely use specific detailed language in day-to-day life to describe events, make sales, tell imaginative stories and much, much, more.
For anyone practicing goal setting and visualization, these new Text to Image AI tools are a intriguing model for how to take goal setting and human-based visualization to new levels of precision and impact.
So, with the analogy of Text to Image prompting in mind, how can we start using better image prompts in order to more quickly realize our goals? While still in the early days, these AI inspired goal setting steps are a new and powerful starting point for learning to “prompt your way” to rapid goal achievement.
AI Goal Setting Prompts for Remembering Future Success
Step 1 - Lock into Alpha State
Just as AI tools need to be tuned to a particular task for optimal performance, our own minds need to be set on the proper wavelength in order to achieve optimal visualization. What follows is a powerful exercise from author Robert Stone for achieving high levels of relaxation in the Alpha State that is somewhat equivalent to “tuning the AI model”, but in this case, you are tuning your own mental models! If these instructions seem somewhat unusual for typical goal setting, it’s because most of us have so little experience tuning our mental models:
Sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes, and take three deep breaths. Visualize several peaceful scenes.
Visualize your higher self—a taller “you” bathed in light.
Mentally say, “I love you.”
End your visualization and bring the thumb and index finger of one hand together.
Mentally repeat three times: “Every time I put these two fingers together, of either hand, my mind works at a deeper level of awareness for closer contact with my higher self and my Creator.”
Open your eyes, mentally stating, “Wide awake.”
Step 2 - Build Your Epic Success Trailer
Now that you are in a new and relaxed alpha state, your intelligence model is tuned for maximum performance.!
Begin by describing your end goal and typing it out like a prompt, just like you would send to a Text to Image tool. As you precisely describe your future success, not only see and feel the end result, but also make it multi-modal by adding a voice-over star like Don Fontaine reading your prompt. Add dramatic music in the background and other memorable effects. Complete your future state script by asking these proven performance enhancing questions -
Who are your co-stars?
How can you reach your goal faster?
As the leading character in this movie, how will lady luck help your journey?
What other great plot twists can you weave into your screenplay?
Be sure sure to set a release date for your goal , i.e. “Coming this Winter, Starring (your name)… in theaters December 19th”.
Once you’ve finalized this epic success trailer, press your fingers together and watch your goal unfold in your mind’s eye at least 5 times in a row, with short 15 second breaks in between. (Popcorn is optional..!).
Step 3 - Launch a Blockbuster Goal Success Marketing Campaign with Repetition, Repetition, Repetition
As we know from the Hollywood blockbuster engine - the key to driving a great opening weekend movie launch is to deploy gigantic marketing budgets for months on end, delivering constant repetition and teasers across multiple channels. Why shouldn’t your own real life personal goals receive the same energy and hype as some fictional movie? Initially, replay your success trailer everyday for the first week - once in the morning when you wake up, and every evening before you go to sleep. As you watch, be sure to amplify your Clarity of Intent, Emotional Purpose and Positive Impact. Be sure to recall the techniques from Step 1 to enter into a relaxed alpha state before each replay!
Depending on the timeframe for your goal success, you can then go into “maintenance mode” and play your trailer just a few times every week until your success vision finally launches!
The AI Revolution Is Just Getting Started:
Early Breakthroughs Are Making Us All More Human
AI language models and image generators are in their early days, and already delivering impressive results. As this technology revolution continues to evolve, not only will we benefit from these tools - but we will also learn more about our own Human Intelligence models, becoming more skilled and adept at providing the necessary prompts and fine tuning to generate our own success. As you continue to hone these Text to Image goal setting skills, your ability deliver new levels of creativity and innovation will spill over into other aspects of life!
