Visualisation And Weight Loss - Can We See The Pounds Drop Away?
The surprising fact is that many conditions can be improved by visualisation and weight
loss is one of them. Basically you keep a vision in your mind of how you want your body to look. It
helps to feel positive about your body, more accepting of your diet or fitness regime, and you will reach your
weight loss goals quicker and easier.
Visualising becomes known to general public and widely practiced in recent years. It used in sports all the
time. It works great! In gymnastics for example, its used for learning a new routine, the gymnasts would visualise
it and make the body familiar and comfortable with the new move in the mind first.

Mind and body are not as separate as we often believe. It seems that if you
truly want something it is more likely to happen - provided of course that it is something that is possible, and
within your control. Visualisation helps us to truly want to lose weight by creating a clear and happy picture of
our fitter bodies. Without this we can often put psychological traps in our own path.
Many people who are overweight believe they cannot lose weight. Sometimes you may say it out loud, or
hear friends say it about themselves. For other people this belief stays in the subconscious. But it is sure that
it influences our behavior.
Someone who believes it is impossible for her to lose weight will be constantly battling her own negativity
when she is trying to diet. Her mind will be constantly telling her there is no point dieting, she cannot lose
weight so she should just go ahead and eat everything she wants. visualisation is the strongest technique that we
can use to overcome these negative thoughts and impulses.
If you are plagued by negativity either from your own mind or from the reactions of friends and family to
your diet, go ahead and visualize yourself at your desired weight as often as you can.
It is important to practice every day - morning and evening if you can. You just need to take a few
minutes in a quiet place and keep an image in your mind of your body at its ideal weight. Some people can do this
easily, others need some help. If you have a photograph of yourself at your ideal weight in the past, you may find
it easier to look at that. Or use a photo from a magazine but cut off the person's face. You need to visualise your
own body, but thinner.
You can also visualise from the inside. Close your eyes and let your awareness focus on a part of your
body - for example, your right thigh. Imagine it slowly becoming thinner in your mind's eye. Then move to the other
thigh, and on through the body. It may help to start at the feet and move up towards the head, or vice versa.
As you go about your work or daily chores, think of yourself as already at your ideal weight. Create your
own affirmations and repeat them often, always in the present tense. Enjoy the feeling of having a positive
self-image. Over time, this will help you to keep to your weight loss plan. You will find that fatty foods are less
attractive and exercise is more enjoyable.
While your weight loss will of course be gradual, the wonderful thing about visualisation is that it
gives you a new body image right away. Use visualisation and weight loss to make you happier right now, today!
