What is Visualization? Visualization is basically using the 'Mind's Eye' to see things in your head.
Fact or fiction.
We all have the capacity to visualize.
And, we all think in images to begin with.
Don't believe me? Let's say for a moment that I ask you about your kids, your home or your car.
I bet that you cannot even think about them for a moment without at least a fleeting image of them in your mind.
Can you? You know you can't.
Ideal Body Image So we all think in images and we all have the capacity to create images in our 'Mind's Eye'.
Why is this important? Because this is precisely how you create your own future.
As Napoleon Hill's famous book, Think and Grow Rich details: "Anything the mind of man can conceive and believe, he can achieve.
If you can create an image and hold that image at the center of your attention, you have the seed of your future reality.
Why do I say that the image is just a seed? That is because it requires more than just the image.
It requires that you believe in the image, that you are thankful for the image as if it is already a reality and that you allow those feelings to physiologically affect your whole body (more on that in a minute).
And, it requires that you take action toward making that image a reality.
Yes, it requires more than just dreaming your way to a new weight or a million dollars - it requires action.
Like the old joke about the football player who asks his coach if the pre-game prayer actually works.
The coach responds, "Yes, as long as you make your block!".
So yes, you still have to get out there and make it a reality.
But be assured by knowing that the universe and the Lord's higher power will work in harmony with you to create it, IF, you are able to see it and believe it in your own head.
Visualize Success So what did I mean when I said that you need to allow the feelings to physiologically affect your whole body? Let's take a quick journey to help you understand my point.
Take a quick mental journey with me and imagine only for a minute that you just gave a powerful speech in front of 50,000 people packed into your local stadium.
Come on, no one is watching so take a few seconds and enjoy the dream.
You see yourself in a beautiful outfit, hair perfect, big smile, the crowd listening to every word as you deliver a passionate message about your favorite topic.
The crowd is all yours as you wrap up and make your closing comment.
As soon as you say, thank you, they erupt into cheers and applause.
Are you with me? Can you hear them getting louder and louder as you smile widely and soak it in for a moment before exiting the stage? If you truly just took that mental journey, then you felt the goose bumps and sheer excitement building inside.
And the reason why you experienced that is because your subconscious mind does not know the difference between reality and fantasy.
As your body filled with excitement, your subconscious mind felt it was real.
And as those realities build inside the subconscious mind, the mind believes that is who you are and it works to make that part of your future.
The same is true with Weight Loss.
If you have a strong vision of who you are going to become and you allow that dream to soak in every day - your mind (conscious and subconscious) will EMPOWER you to make the necessary changes so that the new you becomes a reality.
Get a strong vision of who you will become and let your subconscious mind guide you through the journey.
This is how you visualize success.
OK, so how do I visualize things in my mind? Fair question and for each of us it can be a little different.
Take Tiger Woods for example, he visualizes in his 'Mind's Eye' before every swing.
He simply knows what he wants to accomplish, every detail in vivid detail, such as his feet and stance, his grip, his balance, his backswing, the ground beneath his feet, the wind and sun, the club head hitting the ball at the precise time and location, the ball traveling and even the applause following the successful performance of the shot.
Remember your senses: sight, touch, sound, taste and smell..
..
use as many of them as possible.
And don't just visualize in lame old black and white, go color and go Hi Def.
This is your future! Have fun with it and realize that it doesn't always have to be so serious.
Weight Loss But first, you must clearly establish what it is that you actually want to have in your future.
For Weight Loss, some might say that's easy: I want to be healthier, not eat as much, be more active, etc.
Well, how about you get a bit more specific than that.
If not, your mind may interpret that as you taking 10 extra steps a day and eating less but eating less healthy food.
Your vision needs to be crystal clear.
That is why goals need to be specific and measurable.
More, they actually should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Accountable, Realistic and on a Timetable).
Grab a strong vision of your future self with the ideal body image.
That's the best weight loss tip we can offer you.
Imagine how excited, motivated and yes, EMPOWERED you are going to be when you see yourself slim - when you see how you are going to look AFTER you have lost the weight.
Let the Vision Empower You!
