Maybe you’re the type of person who carries your high school class picture with you to remind you of those slimmer, better days of old. It may surprise you, but what you’re doing is perfectly fine, and this doesn’t just refer to missing those happier and younger days of yours.
There are more and more diet experts who believe that visualization could be the key to helping you reach your weight loss targets faster. That could mean fitting into your jeans from when you were 20, or just being a healthy person for the first time in your life.
In order for dieters to move closer to their dieting goals, visualization can move them a few steps shy of reality. If you’ve got your visualization techniques down pat, you can even live life just as you would if you were at a healthy weight, thus encouraging you to eat right moving forward.
If you see yourself as a healthy person, this could encourage you to maintain a healthy exercise and diet schedule. You have something to look forward to and you know what it will feel like once you get there.
Don’t let visualization stop with just one image. In order to master visualization, you need to utilize all your senses. For example, you can see yourself losing some 50 to 100 pounds, and not just thinking how it would feel to wear a much smaller shirt size.
It’s also a technique that doesn’t require any special skill, money, or time – you can do it anywhere and no one will know that you’re secretly visualizing your weight loss success.
You would want to start by imagining how your future self would look like, minus the extra pounds and at your desired size. Then start imagining yourself at a fancy restaurant, albeit eating a healthy meal – imagine the whole surroundings and not just the food.
What feelings would you have at that very moment? Surely a sense of satisfaction – one that will carry into the present and help you work harder to make that image come to fruition.
Don’t imagine yourself in the point of view of another person. The ideal setting would see you inside your own body and feeling better after losing all that weight and enjoying the benefits that come with it.
You can also use the visualization experience to reinvent your goals or rethink them towards your more positive state of mind. And as a final note, visualization can be a new and positive addiction – one that would keep you coming back for more as you continue enhancing your self-confidence and outlook towards life.
