Apologies if something along these lines has already been posted but I haven't seen it yet.
I've just had a "lightbulb moment" and wanted to share it with you all.
After my 1st week of LL I'm beginning to realise how important visualisations are in keeping myself motivated. An exercise in the green book for LL asks you to imagine what you would look like - i.e. think of a famous person - your sort of height etc whose body you would like. I'm not able to do this yet. I can't imagine anyone else's body being mine other than my own. "What little old me look like X" - don't be insane. I know that this is my self-esteem talking and I will break this but just not yet. Anyway I'm rambling... sorry
Visualisations hit me today whilst I was swimming. I LOVE swimming. I dislike my body being on view but not enough to stop me swimming at VERY quiet times in the evening and early morning. Still no matter how much I love swimming, length after length can get very tedious. So I started visualising things that I wanted to happen to my body and trying to make myself believe that If I got to the end of this length my legs would be slimmer. And I kept doing that with each length and eventually I found I'd done my amount of lengths that I wanted to achieve in my time in the pool.
Anyway sorry for the ramble, but I wondered what other people visualise to motivate them???
