#37 When the Pressure’s On, Preparation Starts in Your Head
Hey, it’s Rafic.
Welcome back to this week’s edition of Peak Performance Insider.
Before any major milestone in my life, I’ve visualized it first.
Not as some kind of wishful thinking — but as deliberate mental preparation.
I visualized walking across the McGill campus long before I was accepted.
I saw myself winning races before I crossed the finish line.
I pictured myself following through on 75 Hard, day after day, before I even started.
It’s a habit I’ve carried into every area of my life — including how I show up at work, in leadership, and under pressure.
This week, we’re breaking down how visualization helps high-performers prep their nervous system to handle real-life pressure with more clarity, confidence, and control.
📌 Today’s agenda:
✅ The difference between imagining and mentally rehearsing
✅ How to make visualization practical, not abstract
✅ What top performers do before the moment that sets them apart
