You will find that your subconscious more clearly defines
its pictures from questions than from statements. As an
example, say to yourself body relax. You can see this has
little or no effect. Now turn this statement into a question:
What do I need to do to relax? The subconscious mind will
now produce an active picture. For example, you might see
yourself relaxing in your favorite chair or taking a warm
soothing bath or possibly getting a massage. You are able
to see the masseuse’s expert hands gently soothe the
tension from you body. You can feel the wonderful sensation
as your body begins to relax and you feel as if you are
floating on air. Now I am sure you understand the power
of visualization and how you can use your self-questions
to bring it about.
The most important picture you will ever change in your
subconscious mind is the picture you now have of your body
or how you perceive your self-image. All people with a weight
problem have accepted a picture of themselves as being overweight.
Until you change this picture, your subconscious mind will
use this existing body picture as a guideline for how you
should look. This is why it is imperative that you change
the image you have of yourself before you begin a weight
loss program.
You will start your training in recreating subconscious
imagery by recreating your existing body picture. Before
starting your imagery training, it is important that you
become totally relaxed in order to focus your mind. Once
you have accomplished this, you will find it is quite easy
to engage all of your senses, making it possible for you
to create a new body image. Once you feel you are completely
relaxed, I want you to see a picture of your body in your
subconscious mind. When you have your body in focus, I want
you to reshape it, to exactly how you want it to look.
See your new body down to the smallest detail; make it
become so real that it seems that you have already accomplished
your weight goal. Once you have your new body picture completed,
place yourself in a physical activity that you know you
would enjoy and will be beneficial in helping you attain
your new weight goal. This activity can be anything from
a brisk walk to an aerobics class, to playing tennis, to
completing an unfinished task. Your new body is now capable
of performing any activity that you find enjoyable.
Earlier I spoke about the emotional states that drive you
to overeat or eat when you are not hungry. Fear, guilt and
anger are responsible for the emotional states of depression
and low self-esteem. When creating your new self-image,
you must exchange these negative emotional states for your
most powerful emotional state. Love is your most powerful
emotional state especially when directed to your new self-image.
It is essential that you practice reproducing your new active
body imagery on a daily basis. It is only through daily
practice that your new body picture will become a permanent
part of your subconscious, thus allowing you to reproduce
this picture without a moments thought. The power of Burris
MIND/FITNESS is in the ability to change programmed emotional
states that do not work for you, for programmed emotional
states that DO work for you.
Regardless of weather your goal is a change in diet for
weight loss, an increase in your fitness program or to take
control of an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia.
In the end the question you need to ask yourself is…Am
I completely happy with the mind running itself or do I
need to take control of it? If your answer is I need to
take control of it, then Burris MIND/FITNESS is the answer.
