I can't even express to ya'll what you have done for me. I swear-I am in a totally different mindset than I have been in several months. My husband is so happy--I have not binged/purged for the past two nights and he thinks it is an absolute miracle!

You all are so wonderful and say the nicest things! I am really starting to believe that I can do this-that I do deserve to be healthy!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

When I was still sprinting, leg 3 was having trouble handing off to me for the anchor and it was taking valuable time off our 4 x 100. So she and I used visualization techniques to perFECT our hand-offs for state. It worked SO well. No pause whatsoever.

We decided to do this after reading about an experiment in which two basketball players were trying to improve their free throw percentages. One player practiced for an hour a day, and the other visualized making his free throws for an hour a day. The one who visualized making his free throws had a greater increase in free throw percentage.

This also works for me when lifting. Sometimes when I feel like I can't do another, I see myself doing it, and then I do it.

Actually spatts, after seeing those hunky shoulder pics of yours (meeeooow!) I have started to visual *you* doing my heavier lifts when I'm work out, lol. Seems to work pretty well, strangely.

visualization techniques really do work I was into competitive karate (shotokan) for years and my coach always instructed me to visualize a point beyond (i.e. behind) my target so that, when I made contact, I was aiming through it rather than simply at it. The same goes for all obstacles - look beyond the problem if you want to get beyond it.
