The WOOP framework stands for Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, and Plan. In this method, visualizing the Outcome or goal is a crucial step. The idea is to vividly imagine the benefits and positive emotions you'll experience once you achieve your goal. This visualization serves to increase motivation and focus, making you more committed to achieving the desired outcome.

For example, if your goal is to lose weight, you might visualize how you'll look in a new outfit, the energy you'll have, or the compliments you'll receive. This vivid mental picture serves as a powerful motivator, making you more likely to stick to your diet and exercise plan. The WOOP framework then prompts you to identify Obstacles and create a Plan to overcome them, but the visualization of the Outcome is what initially fuels your drive to succeed.
