Here are 3 ways to use NLP to achieve health and fitness goals.
1.) Make a positive choice for what your ideal weight and fitness level should be in a reasonable amount of time.
What I learned from studying NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is that you should not think about what you don't want but, think about what you do want. Your subconscious mind does not create in terms of negative wants but will in fact will work to give you your negative result. For example, tell yourself do not think about a white rabbit. You pictured a white rabbit in your mind didn't you?
2.) Use positive self talk. Don't tell yourself in self talk "I don't want to be fat", because your mind will be programmed to make yourself fat. Instead your self talk should be, if you are using the present tense, "I am healthy", "I am releasing (state how much weight you are releasing)", "I am physically active", "I am an athletic", "I am attractive", "I am thin", etc. You can use the future tense, " I will be...", etc.
3.) Use visual imagery to see yourself thinner and healthier. A NLP technique is to "associate" your images you are visualizing by seeing the world through your own eyes looking out of your new body and seeing what the world would be like in your new body. What do you see yourself doing from the view point of your eyes looking out. Involve your senses in this imagery. What do you see, hear, smell, and feel in your new healthy environment of new activities you are doing? Feel how proud you are and the warmth of your family and friends interacting in new activities with you. Imagine the smiles and looks of approval as people are looking back at you in a new way while you are looking at them.
You can also "disassociate" your imagery by imagining you are looking at yourself and you are seeing yourself and seeing your new healthy, attractive, and thinner body. What does your new clothes look like? What expression do you see on your face? How is your posture standing, walking? Watch yourself doing new activities and the expressions of other people as they interact with you. Involve your senses, feelings, etc. as you did when you associated your image.
