Victoria Beckham fulfils her dreams through the mental technique ''creative visualisation''.

The former Spice Girls star's eponymous clothing label was named Brand of the Year at the British Fashion Awards last week and she believes her success can be partly attributed to the positive thinking process she adopted to become the ''best version of herself''.

Speaking to the new UK issue of Grazia magazine, she said: ''I had a dream many years ago and I focused and worked hard and I believed in creative visualisation.

''It's about doing what feels right. I'm not trying to be anybody else, I'm just trying to be the best version of myself.

''I want to make women feel good and empower them - as long as they like what I'm doing, I'm happy.''

The technique is detailed in Shakti Gawain's book 'Creative Visualisation' - which has sold over six million copies worldwide - and it requires individuals to use mental imagery and affirmation to produce positive changes in their lives.

Victoria - who is married to David Beckham - also admitted the win was so unexpected, she hadn't prepared a speech.

The 40-year-old star added: ''It was really emotional because I just wasn't expecting it. Everybody else who got up had notes but no one told me to make any.''

And Victoria is hoping her success will inspire others to strive to achieve their dreams.

She said: ''Twelve seasons ago who would have thought this possible? Probably no one.

''But this shows, if I can do this, you can do this. If anybody can be inspired by what I've achieved, that's great.''
