Believe In Yourself to Be More Active


Believing that you can leap barriers and achieve your goals—can help you to stick with your exercise program. One of the most powerful tools for building self-confidence is visualization: imagining the accomplishment of the changes or goals you're working to achieve. This prepares you to perform the activity itself. The technique is useful in many areas of life, and you may find it a powerful tool in staying strong, active, and healthy. Here's how to do it:

1. Identify the goal you want to visualize—for example, walking a golf course.
2. Find a comfortable place to sit and relax, minimizing distractions.
3. Close your eyes and imagine yourself on the golf course.
4. Now visualize yourself starting on your way, passing the golf carts, and setting off to walk the whole course.
5. Imagine yourself walking from hole to hole, enjoying the sunshine, the views, the fresh air, the good company and excellent play.
6. Finally, visualize yourself finishing the course and feeling great, both physically and emotionally.
