I never really understood how powerful using visualization
was until I actually saw the results. It was before I got
into the fitness field and I was overweight and wanted to
change my body.
I remember watching the movie, "The Terminator", and seeing
Lynda Hamilton with her incredible toned physique. She had
six pack abs, lean legs, and her arms and shoulder were
amazing.
For me, that was inspiring and I decided to use her body as
my inspiration towards achieving the body of my dreams.
Every time I went into the gym, I imagined her body as mine
and working out as she did in that scene in the movie.
I used all my senses to recreate this scene and never
stopped. The hard work and visualization paid off, about 8
months later I had accomplished exactly what I had set out
to do.
I certainly had my challenges along the way, but vowed
never to give up. As time passed, I forgot about the image
I had in my mind of Lynda Hamilton's character and
strangers came up to me and would say "Do you know you look
like Lynda Hamilton?"
I was in complete awe when they said that, because they had
no idea that is exactly what I was imaging for myself.
Even years later, I would still have people that would say
that to me.
It wasn't until I started to research more and experience
more of how my visualization process is one of the most
powerful things you can do to get not only the body of your
dreams, but anything else you want to accomplish in your
life.
Here are some helpful tips to start visualizing and
creating the slim and toned body you desire:
Get a collage of photos with bodies you like and cut out
your head and put it on the bodies you want.
Take about 15 minutes a day to visualize the exact image
you want for your body.
Imagine how it will look and feel, as well as using your
other senses.
Come up with powerful affirmations that will help you
link the image that you are creating for yourself.
When you are faced with challenges, affirm to yourself "I
will do whatever it takes, and I am committed to my goal"
Reward yourself each time you get closer to your goal,
something other than food.
It's also a good idea to surround yourself with people that
are supportive of your goals. Get a support system in
place. You can do this online, or hiring a coach. I
encourage you to read inspiring stories of others who have
overcome any type of body challenge.
If you can see it in your mind, then you can achieve it.
