Dr. Dennis Waitley is one of the best motivators I know. In 1988 I heard him tell a unique story about the astronauts and the space program that correlated to statistics he had gathered from the U.S Olympic team in previous years. He said that in simulations, they were told to visualize their tasks as if they were actually performing. Both groups showed physical responses that were quantifiable, as if they were actually performing the tasks. Can that information help you to create the body you really want?
How we see ourselves in our minds eye is really how we think of ourselves. Sit still and take a few deep breaths. Imagine you, how you look; how you walk; how you speak; how you perform at a task you love to do. What does it look like that first time? Are you walking or dancing fluidly? Is your skin flawless? How symmetrical do you appear? If you saw something less than feels absolutely good to you, in other words, you flinched or felt a fist in your solar plexus or hated the process; then, you want to create a visualization of what you really want to see and make it real. So, the reality is that there isn’t anything wrong or bad about you but if you want to shift something you can.
In his book Success Principles, my mentor and friend, Jack Canfield gives experiences of Olympic Athletes that correspond with Dr.Waitley’s research. Jack suggests that the very beginning of each day and the end of the day are perfect times to review, create or even recreate your day. It is the time when all of your goals can be thought over, given life so to speak, integrated as if theyve already been accomplished. You can end the visualization time with gratitude that wells up in the heart. Jack is a great teacher, definitely one that walks his talk and gives more than he promises.
Gratitude for what you do have is a crucial part of having more, being more, feeling better. Without gratitude things will not only stay the same, they will seem to get worse. Begin now to appreciate every tiny thing you can imagine about Being You. If the list seems small, make it up until it feels so sentient rich you are actually feeling better. It is a good thing to remember that what we push away or resist will bring the thing unwanted even closer; so letting go of resistance and giving gratitude are right up there with your creative visualizations.
If it seems difficult to SEE a new you, focus on how it will FEEL to achieve a body symmetrical and healthy. Healthy eating styles can be implemented too and will most likely be easier after youve spent a couple of weeks imprinting your hearts desire into your consciousness. Then, let go and trust that everything will really be perfect. Detach from the outcome. Let go of guilt, blame and shame. Put gratitude for what you do have together with detachment and sentient rich visualization, and enjoy the life and the physical shape of your dreams right now.
Create the body of your dreams and make it happen. Brain Science supports your right to create on every level; and Master Teachers all over the planet are proving it is so. Ellen Valentine, CNC
