Visualize Fitness Success
Understanding the mind’s role in motivation and behavior is one of the most critical elements in fitness success. If you struggle with changing habits and behaviors or if you can’t get motivated, then even the best training and nutrition program is not much help.A fascinating fact about your subconscious mind is that it’s completely deductive in nature. In other words, it’s fully capable of working backwards from the end to the means. If you “program” only the desired outcome successfully into your “mental computer,” then your subconscious will take over and help you find the information and means and carry out the actions necessary to reach it. Many people are familiar with affirmations and goal-setting as ways to give instructions to your subconscious mind. But perhaps the ultimate mental training” technique is visualization. In one respect, affirmation and visualization are the same, because when you speak or think an affirmation first, that triggers a mental image, being as the human brain “thinks” in pictures. You can use visualization to plant goals into your subconscious mind. You simply close your eyes, use your imagination and mentally create pictures and run movies of your desired results. If repeated consistently with emotion, mental images are accepted by your subconscious as commands and this helps with changing habits, behavior and performance. Years ago when I was big into weight training, I would take a minute to visualize my next set or routine. I knew in my mind that I already achieved my goal and that I just had to go through the motions. For example if I wanted to benchpress 275 lbs for 8 repetitions, I would simply visualize myself completing that 8th repetition before I even began. Although there are some new and creative ways to use visualization, (which you are about to learn), this is not a new technique. Visualization has been used formally in the fields of sports psychology and personal development for decades and philosophers have discussed it for centuries: “If you want to reach your goal, you must ’see the reaching’ in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal.” - Zig Ziglar“The use of mental imagery is one of the strongest and most effective strategies for making something happen for you.”
- Dr. Wayne Dyer Bottom line, if you believe you can achieve! Visualize success in anything you do, even before you set out to accomplish it. Already assume you hit your goal and make it reality. Try it and watch what happens!
