To visualize, once again, simply see your head taped onto the perfect body you selected from the magazine or catalog. Imagine yourself that way smiling and feel good about it. Remember the pleasure you get when you listen to your favorite music? Feel that way as you are visualizing. If you have a hard time recreating that emotion, listen to the music while you do the visualization. It is absolutely essential to connect the image to the feeling.

Commit right now to visualizing yourself this way, twice a day for 21 days in a row. Why 21 days? Because it takes roughly that long to build a good habit. And if you develop the habit of visualizing positive outcomes, your life will change for the better. The truth is, if you do nothing more than visualize your body and your life as you want them to be, twice a day for 21 days, here’s what will happen: You will form the habit of seeing yourself this way and it will
You might discover as I have that you can visualize better under certain circumstances. I personally find that I can visualize most clearly in the shower and that talking myself through it works best.
