I picture myself as raw metal. Then when I'm at the gym and I feel the heat from my muscles it's like I'm being forged into something strong and shiny, like a sword.

Does anyone else use any mind tricks like this?

    I usually just picture myself in outfits that I would like to buy as I'm working out.

    Um...maybe this is weird, but I get so sick of having to use the bathroom all the time from all the water I am drinking. I have started visualizing myself peeing out all the fat. Lol, is that weird or just TMI?!?

    LOL!! I kinda do something similar too. When I am using the bathroom, I envision my stomach getting smaller and smaller....

    I use mental imagery in running. If I want to bail I imagine I'm on the last lap of an Ironman run and people are cheering etc.

    In spin I sometime imagine I'm pack riding and someone is trying to overtake me etc.

    For swimming mental imagery is more pleasant like imagining I'm open water swimming somewhere nice.
