Day 7 - Creative Visualization
Today we are going to introduce the last part of your daily worksheet: creative
visualization. The subconscious is very important when developing success from
within. Your subconscious has been programmed since birth, and we want to
reprogram it to work in our behalf.
Take just a minute and think about how you talk to yourself. Do you say negative
things to yourself like, “I’ll never lose weight.” “I have no will-power.” “I’m so fat.” How
does your subconscious interpret this? Exactly as you said it: “I’ll never lose weight.”
“I have no will-power.” “I’m so fat.”
The subconscious is constantly working while you’re awake or asleep. You must start
reassessing how you talk to yourself. What kind of images and behavioral patterns
are you burning into your subconscious? If you say you are fat, the subconscious will
keep you fat, because that is how it sees you. If you say you can’t lose weight then
the subconscious will support that idea.
The first thing you need to do is change the way you talk to yourself. Instead of saying
I can’t lose weight, start saying, “what I need to do to lose weight is…?” Or “I am gong
to lose weight by eating healthy food and exercising and nothing will prevent me from
it.” Positive, empowering statements and questions lead to positive, empowering
results. The saying “if you can see it, you can be it” is very true.
The next thing you need to do is recreate your body image in your subconscious.
Right now, the subconscious works to keep your at you present body size, because
that is how it sees you. That is how it is programmed. You want to rewrite that
program. You do this through positive visualization.
Every morning and every evening you will want to take a few minutes to relax and
practice positive visualization. Take this time to see in your mind exactly how you want
to be physically. Imagine yourself doing something that you like or want to do. Make it
real right down to the details.
This subconscious picture will change your actions. This small practice is perhaps the
most important part of your plan, because it can change the inner you, which will
change your actions.
This is how you will use this positive picture of yourself in your mind. Let’s say the
office is having a birthday party, and you always, without much thought to it, indulged
in a piece of cake and ice cream. Now when in a situation, where you are drawn into
old habits, you will simply materialize this picture in you mind, and the subconscious will
react in a way that is congruent with this new image of you. In other words, you will not
crave the same unhealthy things that you did before.
You must practice it in order for it to work. You must take the time AM and PM. You
must make this body image so tangible that it is a reality to the subconscious. You
must be willing and able to pull this image up whenever you are faced old unhealthy
habits in order to make new positive choices that will lead to a healthier happier life.
Contrary to what some people think, we do have control over our thoughts. It just
takes some effort.
Once you get used to pulling up this positive image of yourself, it will become easier
and easier, and then automatic. When you are practicing positive visualization, try
seeing yourself in a familiar situation where you are about to overeat or eat the wrong
things. But this time, see yourself making the right choices. When the real situation
comes up, the subconscious will already have made the choice for you.
See yourself exercising and making other positive changes in your life. The
possibilities are unlimited. See yourself at your highest potential!
Put a card by your bed with the word visualize on it to remind you to take time to see
yourself as you want to be.

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: Eggbeaters, whole wheat toast, coffee with fat free creamer= 1
carb 1 protein
Snack: apple, low-fat cheese = 1 fruit, 1 dairy
Lunch: stir fried vegetables & tofu with brown rice = 1 protein, 1 veg., 1
carb
Snack: fruit plate, yogurt, and whole wheat crackers = 1 fruit, 1 dairy, 1 carb
Dinner: grilled shrimp or meatless substitute, bok choy, pineapple, salad, =
1 protein, 2 veg., 1 fruit
Total = 3 proteins, 3 carbs (starchy), 3 veg., 3 fruits, 2 dairy
This is meant as a sample. We will change this daily.
For the Spirit:
Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as
succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek
to develop the picture...Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.
