If you want to be fitter, the advice you will often hear is to be self-motivated and put in the hours that are required. The fact is that the staying power of many men and women when it's about attaining their fitness goals is poor although they know what is required to achieve this. If this is you, then it does not mean you are lazy since it essentially boils down to not having a strong enough desire to continue. If we can learn to change how we think, we will start to act differently and this is something we can educate ourselves to do. If you want to be healthier, learning how to visualize may hold the key and we will now see what this requires.
If we talk about visualization, to most individuals this is merely about seeing an image of what you desire and to focus your attention on this. It is difficult in reality for your thinking to keep focused and so random stuff begins to replace what you want to think about. In your mind, you have to also put in some intense feelings that will come from what fitness will actually mean to you and your life. The reason will be personal to you and whatever that is, you must clearly specify it. To give that vision power, you then must add feelings to whatever you would like to achieve. You want to have an emotional anchor that you can turn to that makes you feel as if you have attained the weight loss or muscle gain you desire.
There are ways to speed up the way you visualize and this can include hypnosis or using audio and video programs. The aim is that you have a specific purpose that is backed up by really powerful emotions so that changes start to happen. At any time you exercise, you can visualize at the same time and this will give greater emphasis to your workout. Whereas at one time working out seemed to demand a good deal of effort, you will notice that this is not the case any longer. Visualizing the way we have described will help you break through the self sabotage that may have prevented you sticking to any exercise program.
The benefits of learning how to do this, is that it can be used in other aspects of your life. Getting fit may provide you with a better vision of how you want your financial or social life to improve in a similar way. If you connect all facets of your life in this fashion, you can begin to form an image of the person you are becoming and you will not want to return to the former unhealthy you.
The advantages of being fit and healthy are there for you and if you are able to picture it, you can make it happen.
