Health, Wellness, Exercise, Reflections:
The Power of Imagery

By John H. Sklare, Ed.D, / January 09, 2012

Happy New Year! Each week in January I'll be addressing three subjects from my Inner Diet program. Each represents the building blocks of a healthier lifestyle, thinner body and happier, more active future. Week 2: Finding your motivation...

The Power of Imagery

I'm a firm believer in the power of mental imagery. That's why I write about and recommend it so frequently. Imagery is a tool that can literally change your life. I've used imagery in my personal life for as long as I can remember and have also used it professionally since my first days as a practicing psychotherapist. In my opinion, there's nothing safer or more powerful.

Imagery is the ancient art of using words and sounds to take the listener on an imaginary journey. It's described as creating a state of mind and body that provides great benefits for both your emotional and physical health and well being. It's used by sick and injured people to enhance healing, by top athletes in the pursuit of peak performance and by everyday people who want to be more effective, optimize their potential for success and learn how to win at life.

Imagery plays a key role in creating change through the concept of "transfer." It means taking intellectual learning and applying it in your everyday life. If done earnestly, imagery is a powerful tool that provides you with the mindfulness and emotional strength you need to make better eating decisions and, thereby, make weight loss easier. As a therapist, I used guided imagery often with my clients.

Guided imagery typically takes the form of a story that is told to you while you, with your eyes closed, follow along and visualize that story in your mind. This story, however, periodically provides opportunities for you to add to the story line.So, in an attempt to introduce you to imagery and to encourage you to pursue it, I offer the following experiment that I`ve used many times with clients over the years.

It's an imagery activity that I call "A New Movie – An Exercise In Imagery and Awareness." Imagine that your life so far has been a movie. And you have been the star of this movie. Your role has been to play the part of a person who lacks control, overeats, doesn't exercise, is pessimistic, and full of self-doubt. I know I might be exaggerating a bit here but it's important to make this point, so, please, just play along. As a matter of fact, I want you to imagine that you have just won an academy award for your performance. You have played this role superbly and you should be proud.

Now, however, that movie is over and you've just been cast in a new movie. In this film, you play the exact opposite type of character. That is, in this new movie you play someone who is in total control, eats right, always makes time for exercise, is optimistic and full of self-confidence. Just as with the other character, you must make this an academy award winning performance as well. It doesn't matter what you think or how you feel inside at any given moment. You must always stay in character because you are the star and the show must go on!

I challenge you to try using this image and playing this character for one full week. Play this part passionately by really putting your heart into this role and just see how it feels. By bringing life to this new character, you have the opportunity to influence and change your focus, awareness, inner space and your weight.

This, in turn, will give you new eyes, introduce you to new thinking and create change in the very essence of who you are. By the way, that positive character is already alive and well inside you. This is not an attempt to create something that isn't there. This imagery activity is just a way to bring you into contact with that part of you that already exists.
Take Action:
  • Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! Further, Boycott Fox's Owner "Rupert Murcoch" and get him thrown in jail for illegal - Take Action:
    political donations, corruption, greed, bribery, hacking!
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass a LGBT friendly ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating money to anti-gay groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans?
  • Boycott Georgia for Execution of Troy Davis @ 11:08 EST, Sep 21, 2011:
    Former US President and Former GA Gov. Jimmy Carter felt that TROY DAVIS should not be executed and deserved a re-trial. The Former Director of the FBI felt that TROY DAVIS Was Not Guilty! Do not drive through Goergia as it is dangerous. Do not fly via Atlanta. For your safety -Do not travel to GA. TELL YOUR COMPANY NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONVENTION IN GA! "Georgia Executes Innocent People!"

And Now, Our War of the Fittest!

This group is called "Peckers Pics." The English - slang definition of "pecker" is to pluck at the truth. Therefore, we peck at items such as Gay Men's Health, Male Fitness, Gay (LGBT) Politics & Issues. In this section you may peck at each photo in order to decide the winner of the "war of the fittest!" Whereas, you should select the "Male Athlete" that may inspire you to exercise and "get fit!" Warning: This may stoke you!

MSNBC Swaps Anti-Gay Racist Buchanan For Gay Republican Santorum Staffer
by David Badash on January 9, 2012 - The New Civil Rights Movement

MSNBC is insisting on imitating FOX News' "fair and balanced" unfair and unbalanced approach to TV cable news journalism. After months of attacks by the left against MSNBC stalwart Pat Buchanan -- whose antiquated, anti-gay, racist, and bigoted views were enveloped in his latest book, "Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?" -- MSNBC executives have finally suspended Buchanan. He is not expected to return to the progressive news network.

Apparently, however, MSNBC has a fresh replacement to fill what network executives seem to feel is a necessary cog: Robert Traynham will replace Pat Buchanan as the conservative Republican, analyst.

Traynham is well-known in LGBT insider politics, and received an on-air tryout just last week on Chris Matthews' Hardball, when the black, gay, former Rick Santorum Director of Communications and senior staffer appeared in a segment to support his former boss.

Traynham was outed years ago while working for the then-Pennsylvania Senator, by journalist Mike Rogers. Santorum painted Traynham as a victim.
In "The Laughable Attempt To Soften Santorum," veteran journalist Michelangelo Signorile comments:
Why Traynham, as a gay man, was ever working for Rick Santorum is of course a question we ask all the time about gay conservatives who publicly support the very politicians who would strip them of their rights. Santorum attempted to turn Traynham into a victim in the way that Dick Cheney claimed his lesbian daughter Mary was under attack for supporting an administration that pushed a federal marriage amendment. Traynham now seems to be returning the favor, going public even though he's previously tried to hide any association with Santorum. But he and the campaign must be smoking something pretty powerful if they think people are going to buy it.

This development -- the hiring of Traynham by MSNBC -- is disturbing on many fronts.

Consider the smaller audience MSNBC has, with media giants like FOX eclipsing MSNBC's audience, budget, and resources, sometimes exponentially. MSNBC needs to respect its viewers a lot more than it ever has.

Consider that the conservative, Pennsylvania-based media giant Comcast acquired a majority stake in media conglomerate NBCUniversal - which owns MSNBC - in January, 2011, and quickly booted the much-beloved Keith Olbermann. Traynham currently works for Comcast, so it wasn't much of a stretch to re-approproate him to MSNBC.
MSNBC has a record of hiring and sustaining ultra-bigoted non-progressives, and Traynham, the latest in their stable, is over the top.

Let's not forget, too, MSNBC also fired beloved Phil Donahue in 2003, yet kept on-air for years Don Imus, lord only knows why, and hired and (finally) fired -- twice -- lying firebrand Ann Coulter.

Recently, after watching the MSNBC Iowa Caucus coverage and comparing it to CNN's, I commented via Twitter that MSNBC has yet to learn the basics of human resource management: Identify your number one (Maddow) then don't hire anyone less-than.

Alas, MSNBC continues to ignore the basics.
