A motivational collage is a visual technique I teach many of my clients. They are simple to create and provide inspiration on a daily basis.
To create this collage, think of things you want to do once you lose weight. My biggest reward is a trip to the beach and a new bathing suite. So, for me, the background on my collage is that of the beach and ocean waves. I also put a picture of a new small size bathing suite.
Another thing I love to do, but found I could no longer when I was obese was to play volleyball. I used to find the sport a lot of fun when I was a teenager and then found it was difficult at best as the pounds packed on. So, I added a silhouette of someone playing the sport. I addition, I added a pair of running shoes to remind me of my goal to run a 5K. I have done that, but now I want to beat my time and do one in fewer than 30 minutes.
On top of all of that, I added a picture of me from my slimmer days. This reminded me of how I looked before the weight was added on and helped motivate me to get back there.
So, start thinking about your collage. Do you have a picture of a slimmer you? If you do, add it. If not, put a silhouette of the slim figure you want to have. What do you want to do when the weight is off? It can be anything you want! Just find a picture representation and add it.
Now, start putting it all together. You can do this by posting pictures all around your mirror, creating a digital collage you can print and reprint to put in lots of locations, you can be crafty and do it like a scrap book. Whatever you do, make sure it is somewhere so that you can see it EVERY day. Take a few seconds to look at it each day and remind yourself of the new healthier, happier, slimmer lifestyle you will soon have!
