Losing Weight By Visualization

Posted under Fitness on Sunday 7 June 2009

There has always been the belief among some of the greatest thinkers and successful people in history. ‘That whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.’

If you have watched ‘Sky Wars’ movies, you have seen Yoda teach this lesson to Luke Skywalker. The movie is fiction of course, but in real life many thousands have seen Uri Geller bend things using only the power of his mind. Why not lose weight the same way? You can with belief and determination.

This theory of achieving your desires has become more and more accepted in recent years. The mind is a very powerful thing and things stored in your subconscious work to make things happen. Think of your mind as a computer and your subconscious as a storage file for data. What you put in this data file (your subconscious mind) is what causes computers to work and so it does with your own mind. What you put into your subconscious you take out.

So you want to always put positive things into your subconscious. You put the vision of how you want your body to be and when you eat, when you exercise, it influences your behavior. A warning here. You must really want to have this beautiful body that you have visualized and you must believe that you can achieve this goal. No negative thoughts. If you truly believe it will happen, it will. If you have doubts, even small ones it won’t.

Now, this is something you must constantly practice. Putting the image into your mind once will not lead to the healthy weight loss that is your goal. You should concentrate upon this vision of your body after this natural weight loss process as often as possible. Find a quiet spot at least two times a day and put an image into your mind of your body at its ideal weight.

Close your eyes and concentrate on the part of your body that you want to effect the most. Say, your thighs. Concentrate on one thigh, image it getting thinner. Now move to the other thigh and on to different parts of your body. Feel yourself getting thinner, more proportioned.

You may need some help getting the proper image of yourself as it will be after the weight loss. Find a picture of yourself before you put on excess weight. If you don’t have such a picture, use one of a model or movie star, something to plant into your mind a picture of what you will be.

Affirm to yourself several times a day by saying - I am fit. I am slim. Do not say I will be. Say I am. Create a positive image and continue to see it. Feel it. You are fit. You are slim.

What you are doing is putting positive thoughts into your mind and subconscious. By doing this you will find that old bad habits of eating fatty foods and sweets will be less appealing to you. Consider them your enemy. They are blocking your path to a healthy, slim and happy life.

The greatest thing about visualization is that in your minds eye you have a great body right now. This increases confidence and over time it will become you.

A new lifestyle is created. People will see you as you want them to see you.

I know that this might be an entirely new concept of weight loss to you, but it will work - if you want it to and sincerely believe that it will.

The weight loss will be gradual, but permanent as long as you keep the image of the new you in your mind and it is the best way to lose weight that I know.

You can achieve healthy weight loss. No fad diets. No diet pills which are only a temporary help but then leave you to come crashing back down in the despair of gaining back the weight loss.

Remember ‘whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.’ For you this means the body of your dreams!
