Zen Your Way to Weight Loss

We, at some point of our lives, have experienced some kind of body dysmorphia that made us think something is wrong with our image, even when there is none. But for those with weight loss issues, this feeling is magnified over a hundred times – to a point when looking at a mirror is a painful act to do.

The mind is always the seat of control and what your mind sees, the body will justify it. If you can’t imagine for once how you would look like or how you want to look like after all those weight loss solutions you’ve taken, then, there is no way to guarantee success.

Positive visualization plays a very vital role in everything we want to achieve, and it’s not only beneficial in the matter of weight loss. It is sad that losing weight has become an unhealthy and, sometimes, a fatal obsession for many who want instant results. So, they turn to fad diets and pills that promise them that perfect svelte.

This, then, creates a negative thought that there’s really something wrong with your body, and you become more anxious and feel – deprived. That’s why we see the same people going over and over in this cycle that sabotages their plan, and their sanity as well.

Meditation is an easy thing to do and it only requires some time for you to be free from the routines of your daily life by simply appreciating the moment. There are many places where you can meditate. In fact, you can just play an inspiring music at home and sit in that solemn corner that will awaken the inner Buddha in you. You can even use essential oils to help you feel relaxed.

Try this Simple Visualization Technique:

Close your eyes and breathe deeply, slowly. Can you smell the scent of those healthy foods that will help you in your weight loss goal? Can you taste them? Imagine yourself standing in front of your mirror. How would you want to look like? Appreciate that beautiful person in front of you and feel your fingers touching your tight and lean muscles. Now, think of your family and friends. Imagine the surprise in their faces when they see the new you. Can you hear their praises?

Visualization must evoke the five senses into believing the image is real. When this image is planted in your subconscious, the conscious mind will do its best to achieve it. It has been one of the oldest techniques used by the wise men and women throughout the ages. There are visualization techniques that can guide you in having a rhythmic breathing, which is essential in meditation.

Nothing beats the wonderful gifts of nature that’s available for us to enjoy. You can just take a time off and appreciate all that surrounds you, which will give you that positive feeling of harnessing your very own Zen.

I’ve found a nice guided meditation piece that anyone can listen to:

You have the power to succeed in your weight loss goals… Believe it!
