Begin by selecting relaxing music, preferably classical music without words. Find it on the radio or play it on a CD or tape. It is important to select the right music. It should put you in a pleasant mood.

While you listen to the music sit in a comfortable chair or sofa. Lie down if you wish. Allow your muscles to release their tension. As you relax you will begin to review your life’s goals. If you haven’t set goals, now is a good time to put your goals on paper. You can review what you see as solid, realistic, responsible ways to achieve these goals.

After reviewing your life goals you have one more step. Stay relaxed, stay focused. Mentally review the days, weeks and months ahead, specifically how your nutrition habits will improve in a positive way. Actually see yourself passing up second helpings at the family reunion, walking past the junk food at the grocery store and visualize yourself telling a friend two years from now “oh yes I lost it and kept it off”.
