Hi, my name is Aravind and I'm a founder of HAFIT. And here what we strongly believe is building the habits is the only way to build fitness. So let me give you a little backstory about what is we're gonna talk about today. So I was participated in one of the body fitness challenge competition. So I wanted to achieve certain kind of a body physique, and I used this technique what I'm gonna share it with you here, how you can manifest or how you can achieve your any goal by just doing this practice. So, and also I will put you my before and after pics so you can also check how did I, um, did it from where I have, where I was before starting of that journey. And by using every single day that practice, how did I reach to here?
Okay.
And also I put you some of the messages which I shared to my coach and my team before even I got the final result, what kind of a body condition I want to achieve. I have exactly achieved the same kind of a condition by doing this practice. So what is that exactly is it's called as a visualization. So visualization is one of the most powerful tool which you can use to achieve your dreams and goals. Okay, so what exactly you do is you visualize as if you are already achieved that particular goal. So for me, what I wanted to achieve, part of that fitness transformation or fitness challenge, was I wanted to get into a 6% to 8% body fat percentage, and I wanted to have the great muscle development with a very good veins are popping out at the end of the competition, and also wants to come top 1 on the competition. So this is what my goal before I started. So what I used to do every single day is I used to visualize. There are 2 things I I used to visualize. One is a process. Process means like every day I'm following my diet, every day I'm drinking enough water, taking the 10,000 steps and doing the workouts. And each and every rep I used to visualize before, and then following the mindset practices. And, um, all of them I used to visualize every single day in the morning.
Okay.
And the second visualization practice is I visualized as if I already achieved that, seeing myself with that great muscle development and seeing waves are popping out and seeing myself that, you know, the fitness challenge owner is actually announcing my name in front of everyone that you did amazing transformation, what a body condition you have, you have each and every muscle fiber can be visible on the, on your body and you did tremendous transformation. All these things I, as if, as if it has already happened, I used to visualize it. Okay, so this I used to do every single day. So I, I'll tell you what are the challenges I faced during this journey, and I overcame every challenge, and I came top 4 out of 40,000 people in this competition. Okay, so the first challenge what I faced is I got a toe injury. I could not even train my legs. Okay, and there was a COVID lockdown. I could not go to gym, and I, I had a back pain, and I had a travel, and I was in between traveling to Dubai and where I had to prepare my meals. All these challenges overcome by just doing a visualization. Every time I visualize, every time I feel that emotion and I feel that, um, that as if I have achieved that goal, it used to give me an immense boost and immense confidence. And all these challenges were like opportunities for me to grow. So this is what my mind used to tell me every time there is a challenge comes. Arvind, this is the opportunity for you to grow and become better and prove yourself that, you know, any obstacle will not stop you to achieve your goal. So this is what it kept on saying, and I kept practicing this visualization practice for all, all the 12 weeks. And I don't remember the achievement. What I have done is immense, and I was super proud of myself, and I came top 4 in that competition. So let's see how you can do this together. So today, right now, we will do it, and you just need to close your eyes. So once you close your eyes, just see what is your current physique. So basically, let's do 3, couple of breathe in and breathe out so that you are aligned and relaxed. Take a long breathe in and breathe out. Just observe your breath. And see the breathe going on. See the air is how it is going inside and coming out. Just observe that. And you may get a lot of thoughts. It's absolutely normal. Just tag them as thoughts, or just be aware and bring back your attention to breathe in and breathe out. Now just visualize yourself For example, if your goal is to reach certain body condition, visualize yourself as if you are on that particular condition. See any kind of image you have similar to what you wanted to achieve, just visualize yourself that, you know, when you achieve that, how did you feel? Maybe you're wearing your favorite clothes, just visualize that. Maybe in front of you there is a big screen and you, you are just playing the video of how you wanted. Maybe you're wearing your favorite dress and just walking in the beach with, with a very good physique and toned, ripped body, all muscles. Just visualize yourself and feel how you've, how you feel, and see the people are appreciating you.
Wow, what a kind of a body you have! You have done tremendous job, and each and every muscle part is actually appreciating you that, you know, you have done amazing job. Just visualize that feeling. Or maybe you are playing with your kids with so much of energy, so much of fun, and everyone around your office, your surroundings, people are appreciating what a transformation you did. You are simply superb. Just visualize that feeling.
Just see yourself that, you know, as if you are done. So it could be anything.
I've just gave you one example. You can visualize how exactly you're feeling and what exactly the body you want to achieve.
See as many confirmations that yes, it is possible, and feel that there is— there may be an old picture of yours where you are exactly like that.
Visualize that body that you have, or maybe you have any kind of ideal body which you want to achieve.
Just see that you have the same kind of a body and visualize yourself.
Keep taking breaths. Now what you are doing is— so now you are visualizing every single day that you're getting up in the morning, you're going to the gym, and you're doing each and every rep with a lot of passion, and you're eating healthy food, you're following a balanced meal. You're drinking enough water. You're being overall a day so much active, and you're sleeping early. And every time you sleep, your body is relaxed, regenerated, and your muscles are recovering. And you're having a great day every single day. So just feel that, you know, every single activity is going as per planned, and you're just killing Every single day by day, day by day, and you're putting actions, and each and every action is helping you to get better. Just visualize that, you know, you're taking that healthy meal which has protein, fats, and carbohydrates, which is serving you to the best, and your body is nourishing. You're walking and everything is happening so effortlessly, so easily. Just visualize that. Every single day you're following that 6 habits which we discussed. Just stay there and feel that every single day the process which you're following. In the same way, see that every single day your steps are on point, your water is on point. Your, your food, what you're giving it to yourself, was nourishing your body like anything, and your fat is melting like crazy, and you're reaching to your dream body, what you were intend to set. Just visualize, stay in this moment, and feel that how exactly you're feeling. And then now you visualize every single day action, you're seeing a progress. You're slowly, slowly, your body getting transformed. Your fat is going everywhere across your body, and you are getting it to closer to your dream body and closer to your dream goal of maybe a 20% body fat and getting it to your ideal body weight. Just imagine that. Just close your eyes and see that your dream body is achieved, and see how you're gonna celebrate, and see that, you know, how effortlessly you did it. And now it is more like a routine and a lifestyle than you used to torture previously, and you are enjoying every bit of it, and every moment by moment, and every day by day. And you're getting better and better and better. And finally you achieved your goal. Just feel that, you know, you are celebrating that moment of your best version of yourself. And now slowly take the breath in and breathe out, and you can slowly open your eyes. By just making yourself present.
So this is the visualization practice. You can follow it and see. I used to follow, as I told you in the starting of the video, that as if the things are happening as per the suggestion, as per it, it has to happen. And all of them I used to visualize. And exactly, so this is my condition before and after. And also I'm— I said you, right? So I have Spoke to my coach before itself that as if I have already achieved and I've exactly done what exactly I visualized in my, my mind every single day. This is a very powerful technique. Please do use it and let me know, um, what is your dream physique which you wanted to achieve, and I will send you a lot of blessings and my own intentions to that, you know, you achieve that goal. And do let me know if it is helping you in any way, and just put a comment below that, you know, what was your goal and whether you did this practice and how did you achieve your goal. Okay, so that's all for today's video. Just to recap, visualization is the most powerful technique which you can use to achieve any kind of a goal. So basically what you visualize is two things. One is your process, how you are doing every single day, day-to-day steps that you visualize that as if everything is happening. Amazingly. Second thing is you visualize about how once you achieve, how do you feel and what is the comments. And there is a lot of acknowledgement about you have done that, and that visualization you do it.
