Part One Chapter 2 (Page 13)

Positive outcome visualization tied to positive emotions has the ability to magnetize you towards what you want more than anything else you can do.  Believe it or not, you can eat all the right foods, and exercise everyday, but if you see yourself as fat and unhealthy you will not stick with any program long enough to see results.  On the other hand there are plenty of people out there who exercise very little and don’t pay very close attention to their body but who look fantastic and who are healthy  under any medical measurement simply because they see themselves that way every day.  See yourself as fat and unhealthy and it will be so, or see your self as light weight and beautiful and happy and it will be so. 

Commit right now to visualizing yourself this way for 21 days straight twice a day.  Why 21 days?  They say it takes 21 days to build a habit, and if you build a habit of visualizing ultimate positive outcomes your life will change for the better.  The truth is if you do nothing more than visualize your body and life the way you want it to be twice a day for 21 days and do nothing else what will happen is this.  Within 21 days you will have built a habit of seeing yourself this way and more than likely you continue to do this, if you continue to visualize your life and yourself in this way  the time will come when you will begin to take actions that are in congruence with your self image. 

Visualize yourself thin and healthy and happy long enough and sooner or later you will begin to eat in a way that harmonizes with that self image, you will move more whether that is simply walking more or doing work around the house, or playing actively with your kids or friends or beginning an exercise program, whatever it turns out to be in your life it will happen because the image in your mind will need to become manifest. 

In cases not as rare as you would think, your body and life will manifest to your vision without doing anything external to your visualization at all.  It will all happen from the inside out, this is the same process that allows people to heal themselves using the same technique.  I am sure you have read or heard about people who have visualized their cancers into remission.  You may have heard about people who were traumatically injured and who lay completely paralyzed in the hospital but who visualized themselves as being healed and as being able to walk and who in time walked out of the hospital.  Modern science as yet, has no way to measure or explain how this happens, but that does not need to stop you from utilizing the wonderful power of visualization.  Give it the 21 day trial and marvel at how your life will change.
