It is a strange fact that many things in life can be changed by visualisation, that is imagining a different outcome, something that psychologists cannot explain completely.
To change by visualising what you want to achieve is today an accepted part of life coaching and mental training, not to mention in sports psychology!
If you are looking for the most effective weight loss program around, do make sure this technique is part of it!
That the technique works very well is illustrated by an interesting experiment done in Finland some years ago - two basket ball teams were put through different training regimes.
One team practised playing several days a week with their coach, in the "usual" way.
The other team practised every other day, the days in between they had visualisation sessions. They imagined the game, from start to end, and they imagined in their inner mind every goal, every run-up and every attack.
I'll let you guess which team performed best .... when they played "for real" the team that had "imagined" games in their minds, did much better than the other team!
It looks as if you truly want something it is more likely to happen - provided of course that it is something that is possible - if you really, really anchor the desired outcome in your mind. Simply put, if you go around thinking " I can't lose weight, I'm useless", you are probably going to find it very hard to lose weight ...
Life coaches and psychologists know that what is in your subconscious will affect you a lot, even though you are not aware of it.
If you are plagued by negative thinking from your own mind, or from the reactions of friends and family to your plans to lose weight, go ahead and visualise yourself at your desired weight as often as you can.
It works best if you practice this every day, morning and evening. Before you even get up in the morning take a few minutes and see yourself in you mind as you want yourself to look like.
If you have a photograph of yourself at your ideal weight, look at that and try to keep the image in your inner mind all day.
During the day think of yourself as if you were at your ideal weight already. Create your own affirmations and repeat them often, always in the present tense. Do not think “I will be slimmer” - instead think “I am slimmer” ...
Enjoy the feeling of loving yourself! You will find that your life will be happier, even though you may still be a bit overweight. Over time this will make it easier to stick to your weight loss program.
Even using the most effective weight loss program, slimming is of course a gradual process. The truly wonderful thing about visualisation is that you will have a new body image straight away and this will make your life easier, and yourself happier, right here and now!
Your mind is much more powerful than you may think! Visualising is a very effective way to harness that power - it is a "mental" diet for quick weight loss! If you enjoyed this article and found it useful please find more tips f or quick weight loss here
