Here’s a visualization exercise that helps you tune into the core of what you want for your health, fitness and wellness.
- Close your eyes and take a deep breath from the lower stomach and slowly breathe out. (Use this as a transition throughout the exercise.)
- In your mind, go to a quiet place where you feel comfortable, peaceful, strong, and confidant. You feel relaxed.
- What does your quiet place look like? How do you feel being there? Notice what’s around you.
- Picture yourself 1 month from now, 3 months from now, 1 year from now
- What does your wellness look like? How do you look physically? What are you wearing?
- How does your body move?
- Notice any other changes in your life, Describe what you would like to be doing, feeling, and thinking around your wellness?
- Pretend that it is 1 year from now and you have accomplished your goals.
- What does it feel like? What are you doing differently? What is the same?
- What did you have to do to get there? Who’s around you? What activities are you doing?
- Describe your health now. Who has helped you along the way?
- Think of one key word to sum up this experience and/or your commitment to health, fitness, and wellness.
