Visualizing is essential to our success!
Can you imagine how difficult it would be to set out on a thousand mile journey across unknown territory without a map to guide you to your destination?
During my first successful BFL transformation I gathered up several exercise and fitness magazines and found a body that I wanted to pattern mine after.
I took the photo of that body and superimposed my head over the fitness model's head.
Each day of that 12 week challenge I pulled that doctored picture out and studied it. I imagined that strong, muscular body as being mine.
Several weeks into the challenge I was shocked when I walked by a mirror and saw my old, fat body. Where was that new body that I had invisioned each day? As shocking as that image was it didn't discourage me. I simply pulled out the photo of my future body and continued to condition my mind's eye to accept no other substitute.
I carried that photo with me and looked at it daily during three subsequent challenges.
During the last month or so I stopped looking at that photo.
Funny thing is...my old habits began to return at about that same time. And I started to get mini shocks when I passed by a mirror. Belly fat? Whose belly fat is that? Where did it come from?
So is all of this a coincidence?
I don't think so.
Today I dug that "doctored" photo out of my scrap book and put it in my purse. I am now retraining my mind's eye and an once again conditioning my brain to accept that photo as reality.
Each day I will study it and work to make it so!
I didn't come up with this idea. A very successful BFL'er shared it with me. It worked for her and it worked for me.
I know it will work for me again.
Creating your Body for Life without a "visual" map is essentially the
same. You are bound to take a wrong turn or a miss step or two. Chances are frustration would build and failure would become an option. That's why it is so essential to visualize our future Body.
