Put Visualization Into Action!
Most everyone understands that they
need to put in work to experience results, however what few understand and even
fewer practice is what comes before the work! Newton described action with his Principle
of Inertia, in that “an object will continue moving at it’s current velocity
until some force causes it’s speed or direction to change.” How does this apply
to our fitness? Well, read on…
Before we ever get started in something
the outcome is very much set into place by what we do before we act, this is
what I refer to as Trombetta’s Theory of Predictable Outcomes, in that “every
action is preceded by visualization which will have an exponential effect on
the outcome.” What this theory simply states is that everything that we do
first begins within us; our minds, our bodies, our souls and by acknowledging
this we are able to use this power to our benefit and create our outcome! If we
precede our actions with positive visualizations they multiply into everything
that takes place next. You see, like all things it truly begins and ends with
us, the circular nature of life is very real and very powerful! If we visualize
the outcome that we want with a positive mind and a can/will do attitude we are
very likely to accomplish what we desire because we set ourselves up on a path
to create our outcome! Yet, the opposite is also true; if we begin with a
negative mind and see what we are doing as an impossibility and listen to all
of the external negative forces we are not only likely to never start at all,
but also fail miserably when and if we begin. It is also very important to note
that there is also a third beginning that is very negative and this is passive
visualization or not visualizing anything at all, which can often times be
worse than outright negativity as it leaves the door open for anything to come
in and breaks your focus from what you are trying to accomplish, this is where
very unstable foundations are built. The take away message to all of this is
every action really is preceded by our thoughts and if we wish for our outcome
to be positive, we had better begin with a positive mindset and outlook,
otherwise our negative or misguided motion can be very difficult to change once
started!
So, how do you apply this theory to
your benefit? Well, start by always making a conscious effort to see things
with your “mind’s eye” before they happen, this doesn’t mean having the ability
to see the future, but rather creating it! If you see yourself completing the
reps, eating all your meals, being confident on stage, etc… You eventually WILL
do it! Visualization is very real and practiced by many who are top in their
field, whether it is business or fitness! Take charge of your thoughts and you
WILL take charge of your outcome! When there are doubters or negative
influences (and there WILL be plenty of them), you simply pay no attention to
them and keep on moving in your direction and you will eventually reach a point
where you are headed on such a strong path of motion that it would take a very
strong object to divert you. By the time you reach this point, a simple
diversion really only becomes an obstacle and we all know obstacles are made to
be overcome!
If you have already started visualizing
things simply from reading this article, you are already well on your way to an
unstoppable path, a path that we are all capable of, a path that has always
been there… We just need to “see” it!
