M3:D31 Visualization and Drawing the Result Near

June 13, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment


What's on my mind today?

A common issue during a physique transformation is lacking a destination.  As I've mentioned before, it is important to know where you are going in order to get there.  Would you go to the kitchen to cook “whatever”?  Would you grab a pot, boil some water and then throw chicken in the pot, then some veggies, then some bread and just keep throwing in whatever you see?  It is the same thing with a physique transformation.

If you want to reach your dream body you have to start by visualizing yourself with that body right now.  If you make the mistake of visualizing what you will look like in the future you may never get there.  It may always be in the future for you.  The key is to visualize yourself there now.

After you decide upon the steps you need to follow to get that visualization to be drawn to you, get to work doing it.  Draw that dream body to yourself.  Make sure that all your actions are framed around that visualization.  Remember that if you decide to eat the wrong thing, that future person is being hurt.  If you choose to skip a workout, that future person is in jeapordy.  Your job is to protect that person you visualize yourself to be.

With a program of nutrtion and exercise that is executed consistently you will draw that visualization to yourself.

I travel to Seattle tomorrow and return on Saturday.  If I have good internet access I will be able to post my pictures, if not I will post my regular blog post and post the pictures later.

Find out what I'm doing to my body!

Today was a cardio only day.  I did another 20 minute steady state session.  I was very sweaty, having increased both my speed and my incline this time around.

 
Exercise the brain with the Thought of the Day!

Ask yourself, “will this bring my end result closer to me or will this push it further away from me?” The answer to that question should determine the action that I take.
