Does it seem strange to think that you could close your eyes and imagine something and have it come true? Using visualization for weight loss is a little more complex than that – but the basic premise does have merit!

Here’s how it works:

When you visualize something repeatedly, it starts to sink into your subconscious mind as something of importance. As a result your subconscious mind will keep reflecting back this important essence so that you become more attuned to it mentally, emotionally, and physically.

That means you will automatically start identifying more with that slender version of yourself rather than the heavier, unhappier version of you. As a result, you’ll start thinking and acting in ways that will help bring forth your slender vision.

It may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but psychologists and even sports professionals stand behind the effectiveness of visualization for weight loss or anything else you want to accomplish.

Other good ways that visualization can be used for weight loss:

- Visualization can help you stay motivated to stick to a healthy eating and exercise plan, simply because when you “see” yourself being slimmer and happier, you automatically want to do whatever it takes to make it a reality.

- Visualization helps convince you that your desired outcome is possible – you keep “seeing” it as if it were true, and you gradually dissolve inner blockages, doubts and disbelief that you could achieve such a thing.

- Visualization can minimize stress and anxiety, and help you feel more positive so it’s easier to take better care of yourself and lose weight more quickly.

Sound good?

Here are a few ways to use visualization for weight loss:

- First, be sure to practice visualization at least twice a day. It doesn’t have to be for long periods of time, five or ten minutes is adequate. But the more consistent you are with it, the more powerfully it will work for you.

- Get very, very relaxed before you visualize. When you’re tense and distracted it will be nearly impossible to “see” clearly and get into the right frame of mind for effective visualization.

- Once you are relaxed, call to mind an image of yourself as you would like to be. See not only the size of your body, but the shape, the type of clothing you would like to wear, style of hair – and most importantly, see a glow of happiness, good health and vitality about yourself. Really tune into how wonderful you look and feel in this vision – and try your best to allow those positive feelings to flow through you right now.

- Give it time to work! Don’t expect overnight miracles, but within a week or two of consistent practice, you should notice that you’re feeling a bit lighter, happier, and slimmer as you start transitioning away from the perception of yourself as an overweight, unhappy person, and toward that inner vision of a happier, healthier you.
