Thanks for the great post!

You can use both present and future tense. It is all in how you word it. I prefer present tense myself. However, I think it is more important to try to phrase things in the positive, or as in taking a positive action.
Here are the kinds of things I like to use:
“I am lean, healthy, and fit.”
“I am becoming leaner, healthier, and more fit every day.”
“I eat good, clean, healthy food.”
“I eat properly every day, always work hard in the gym, and get plenty of rest every night.”
“My body is strong and getting stronger with every workout.”
“Every day I am taking the proper steps to achieve my goal”

It is also good to have some specific goals down too (actually a must IMO), such as:
“On September 5th, 2008 I will weigh 220 pounds at 8% body fat”
“On September 5th, 2008 I will bench press 400 pounds.”

Best wishes,
Mark

Yeah there’s conflicting advice and I hear different things from different people.
When I visualize, I do it in the present tense. I’m conditioning myself to believe this as a present reality, in my mind it’s real.
For written goals, I think the subconscious BS meter can go into overdrive for some people when written in the present tense. A goal written with a future date that states some action towards that goal is very effective, think Napoleon Hill’s ‘Definite Chief Aim.’
Thanks for your input,
Mark

This is a great idea and visualization is used extensively in NLP and hypnosis as Irwan says.

One thing I’d like to offer is the idea of investigating other timing. Many times you hear in NLP that the reason affirmations are less effective than we hope is because when the affirmation is phrased in the present tense, the unconscious mind is able to detect the incongruity between “have” and “want” and reject the “want.”

On the other hand, if the affirmation is placed into the future, particularly in a way that shows movement and progress, it will be much better received. For example, “I am becoming a person builds muscle and burns fat. I will be 12% body fat and 170 pounds of lean muscle.”

I like to envision a deck of playing cards. The top card is “now” and the bottom card is “then” or “the goal” and each card farther into the deck is closer to the goal and farther from now. I imagine floating above my timeline (or a calendar) and I insert one of those cards off the top the the deck into my timeline, moving farther away from now until I reach my goal date.

Have fun 😉

To get ideas though just go to youtube and type in ‘mind movie’ to check out other people’s.
