Start Practicing Some Thinking Thin Thoughts
reda
Here you go:
When you have negative thoughts about yourself (after all, we’re human, so we do have these limiting thoughts!) use it as a springboard to success. Make yourself create two positive images for every negative one you have. For example, if you don’t feel pretty, think of a time you did.
Form those pictures in your mind. Were you at a dance? At someone’s wedding, or perhaps your own? Were you winning some athletic contest? Think of when you felt your best and know that you will again.
Think of a time when you felt really good about yourself and your weight. Be there, in that picture, in that movie. If you’ve never felt good about yourself or your weight, think of someone you admire very much— someone who embodies your ideal—and try to get the feeling of being that
way. What would it feel like? We all have the potential to be (and do) absolutely anything, so go for it!
Children Have a Wonderful Gift for Pretending.
Successful Make-Believe is something we can learn from children. Within the spark of imagination lies something to be “caught.” Have you ever noticed how children become completely absorbed in whatever they are doing or playing? They literally become the image they want to create. If it is
being a pilot, they are really flying that airplane, with all their senses. They are above the ground, soaring through the clouds, looking at the tiny world below.... and lo and behold, some of them grow up to be pilots. This is the sort of imagination we need if we want to accomplish anything.
A little-known secret of success, as any truly successful athlete, business person, artist, musician, or actor will tell you, is their own creative imagination.They may not use the same words I do, of course, but they may say something like, “I never even thought about failing,” or “I always knew I’d
win,” or “I just saw myself succeeding, I wouldn’t accept anything less.” It may help you to read some biographies of men and women you have always looked up to, people who have overcome great odds to accomplish something, or someone who was first to attain a highly desired goal. Look for this “feeling of success” or use of the imagination to accomplish the desired result. You will find yourself encouraged by such stories or articles,when you find them.
Look for the Feeling of Success
As you read these topic, look for that same feeling of success in yourself.
We all have it, though it can be as elusive as a butterfly. Once you catch it, though, pretending as a child would that you are already the way you want to be, then your body will go to work to create the new you.
Most people who diet gain the weight back as soon as they stop dieting, or very shortly thereafter. That’s often because they were unable to see themselves thin, so they “fulfilled” the old program again...that of being heavy. You are now able to see yourself thin, or you wouldn’t even be reading
this book! You are also able to become whatever shape and size (I recommend going with body sizes, not weight—which naturally fluctuates) you wish to become through your thought and imagination, controlled by the real you.
- “I feel so thin today!”
- “I’m getting thinner/slimmer each day.”
- “I feel a little thinner/slimmer today.”
- “I am slim, strong, healthy and free!”
As you say the above words—experience them in every way you can.See chapter three, Exercises for Thinking Thin to get all the details you need to make this work.
