Visualize Your Way To A Healthy, Slimmer, You!

People, at this time of year, rush to gyms and to
shops buying the latest gadgets and memberships very often
only to give up weeks or months later.

I see this a lot in the fitness industry and I often
think about why this is. I believe one of the reasons is
people act on whims that often are not based upon real,
deeply held and thought about, feelings.

They do not take the time to habitually visualise the
new and improved version of themselves but instead
focus upon external things instead.

It takes an element of patience and skill and to
visualise what you really want to look like, to ‘weld’
it deeply into your mind, and then to act physically
upon these passionately held visions.

Having sat down each day for five to ten minutes to
soley focus on this new image of yourself means you
will be much more likely to develop an ardent desire
to achieve and maintain it.

We become what we habitually think about!

We become, physically, what we regularly see in our
minds eye.

Take the time to learn how to get into a meditative
state where you calmly focus on how you want to
look and you will be ahead of others who flippantly
disregard the big muscle between their ears that
allows one to visualise in the first place!

Visualisation is used by many, many, top sports
people now and is viewed as a vital element of success.
They see what they want each day and then go get it!

Yet, despite this being the case, many ‘normal’ people
trying to get in shape rarely seem to use this easily
accessible technique. Controlling what you see and think
is in easy grasp of everyone but so few actually take
advantage of this fact.

My advice is this.

Set aside time each day to control how you see yourself
and elevate this image to being more than you are now.

Set goals, see them, achieve them.

Have quiet time where you can meditate, if only for
five minutes, and build a POWERFUL image of a new you
in your mind.

Use your breath to ‘inflate’, and bring to life, this
image of how you wish to look physically.

You will then be primed to go about PASSIONATELY
achieving it!
