Apology~
I haven't been on the computer much today~ and this is my first visit here~ so I apologize for that~ Jim... I appreciateyou coming here... and I will answer your last post with this All actions begin with a thought, no matter WHAT the action is, or WHO does it, or WHERE or HOW... that is FACT! If visualization is not something that you are into, or want to do... then please do not come to our thread and bash what we are doing here.... Fact is... this sort of thing DOES work, and is based upon metaphysical law. A person's thoughts and words are very much a part of who that person is.Olympic athletes, famous athletes, celebrities,concert pianists and musicians all benefit from *seeing in their mind* their performances before they actually have the physical experience. It has been proven that this sort of mental exercise improves performance, and increases self-confidence. This thread is for *positive thinkers*, and those who are learning how to become positive thinkers... You are correct in that it has to be backed up with action...

Other wise it's just BS and the "Feel Good" stuff waists time and acomplishes nothing in and about itself. I guess, I sound pretty negative about self talk and affirmation, that is as far from the truth as possiable, but I know you have to be the one who chooses what you put into your mouth and the world is so diluted but the 70's-'80's and '90's psyco-babble. All I noticed is when I stopped thinking positive thoughts and actually did something positive about my being 401 pounds, things changed, and in a very BIG way.

That is YOUR opinion... we are all entitled to them... and we all have them... but fact here Jim, is we are NOT deluded... we KNOW what we are talking about here...and this is not psycho-babble... I do not WANT to STOP thinking positive thoughts like you say you done... I want to INCLUDE positive thoughts AS WELL as make positive changes in the "real world"... the positive thoughts just reinforces what I want to accomplish. You say you don't believe in such things... answer me this though... your car replica business that you just started... wasn't THAT an idea in your mind BEFORE it became reality? Didn't you THINK about how it would be, and the possibilities that the business might entail for you? That is what we are doing with this visualization thread... we are *seeing* our successes, our changes WITHIN ourself... we are making POSITIVE changes from the inside AS WELL as the outside... I am not saying that action is not important... though I AM saying that ALL actions begin with a thought... and even though you may not want to call it a visualization, or an affirmation... Faith and Hope are visualizations... and every prayer is an affirmation~
