Day 9 – Self Talk & Creative Visualization
The other aspect of Creative Visualization is about reprogramming how we talk to
ourselves and how our subconscious reacts to it. We touched on this in lessons 7 &
8.
Think about what you are saying to your subconscious when you say, “I cant’ lose
weight. I’m too lazy to exercise. I’m so fat.” These become self-fulfilling prophecies.
You will be what you consistently tell yourself that you are.
The body reacts to what the mind thinks.
Think about rephrasing the negative self talk in the form of this statement: I must lose
this weight because … and state your reasons. Write it down.
If you say, “I can’t find time to exercise.” Rephrase it into: “I will make time by getting
up earlier” (or some other plan of action). Whatever your excuse or negative self-talk,
rephrase it into a positive form of action.
As you do this, these new affirmations will be burned into you subconscious. Use
these declarations morning and night, as well as whenever you catch yourself making
negative remarks about yourself.
Another constructive self-talk is being realistic. Don’t exaggerate to yourself, and be
aware of it when you do. If you label yourself a failure or that your body is ugly, stop
and think: You are a wonderful person and your body is an amazing part of you that is
serving you well.
The most detrimental self-talk is being a victim. For example: “It’s my parents’ fault I’m
fat.” There are many other excuses for relinquishing control of your life. Simply take
responsibility for where you are, and you will have power over your life. You are now
able to make any changes that you wish, because you are the designer of your life.
If you find yourself constantly making negative analysis of yourself, it is a good idea to
add some positive affirmations to your Creative Visualization sessions. This will help
you from been so self-critical.
The following form of meditation is a good idea to use for your morning and evening
visualizations:
Sit with your back straight or lie in a comfortable position. Relax the body from head to
toe. Consciously release any tension that you might be holding. Breathe deeply
through your nose.
Visualize a golden light surrounding you and radiating from within you. Start by
imaging yourself as you want to be in every detail. Envision this image of you
exercising and eating right, staying calm when you would normally become agitated.
Fill your heart with love for all beings. See yourself doing and being what you are
striving for.
Then as you continue to go deeper into relaxation repeat a mantra something like
this: “I am a strong and loving person. I am becoming fit and healthy. I deserve to be
healthy and happy. I choose to eat wholesome foods and exercise. I am creating my
life, here and now.”
As you practice this, you will free the mind and body to manifest anything you desire.
The most important thing is to actually practice this. Don’t just think it will happen by
realizing it. Do the visualization practices. They are an important part of the whole
program.

This is a sample of what your food for the day might look like. (Changes daily)
Vegetarians will substitute beans, soy products, tofu, tempeh, seitan, or
other vegetable proteins for any meat used in the sample diet.
Breakfast: low-fat bran muffin, coffee/tea with fat-free milk/creamer = 1 carb,
1 dairy
Snack: meal replacement bar = 1 carb, 1 protein
Lunch: bean soup, salad, whole wheat crackers, and apple slices = 1
protein, 1 veg., 1 carb, 1 fruit
Snack: fruit salad with cottage cheese = 1 fruit, 1 dairy
Dinner: veggie burger, sliced tomatoes, green beans, and small potato = 1
protein, 2 veg., 1 carb
Total = 3 proteins, 4 carbs (starchy), 3 veg., 2 fruits, 2 dairy
This is meant as a sample. We will change this daily.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you
simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.
