We use our self talk to affirm our self image. This forms our belief in who we are and what we can achieve. 

I’m hoping you’ve completed the exercise in my previous article and have an idea of what your ideal physique is. If you have not done this please go back to the previous article and finish the ‘self-image’ exercise.

Now you have a basic idea on what your physique will look & feel like. Next we want define it further by drafting an affirmation. We’re going to use this to help control our self-talk, build our new reality/self-image which we will then assimilate to. 

This is where we separate the doers from the dreamers. Most people won’t want to define their new self-image & affirmations. That’s because to do this you are setting parameters where you may fail or far short. And that’s enough to deter 90% of readers.

Well, I challenge youth move past this. Give the exercise a go. You’ll be amazed at what happens next.

Application time again! 

Now this is where I’m asking those of you playing at home to take some time and write out what your affirmations will be. Use the keywords from your self image exercise to create a few sentences explaining & affirming what your ideal physique is.

Now there are some key principles we want to apply when doing this-

1. Affirm in the present tense- Write the affirmation as if you have already achieved it. You want your mind to believe this is your reality so you will work towards that.
2. Apply emotion to this new self-image- Emotions are strong and they will drive us towards our new self-image quicker.
3. Don’t get stuck on it being perfect- A poor affirmation is better than no affirmation. Just write your affirmation down, then edit it, then edit it again. Get it to a point where your happy but don’t spend to long and procrastinate here. This is a 15-20 mins exercise max. Just get it done.

Our old mate Steve did this exercise and this is what he came up with-

“I’m very attractive, muscular & lean with visible abs. My physique draws positive attention and this makes me feel confident, proud and sexy” – Steve

Now you have your affirmations great! Are we going to print them off, stick them on a wall somewhere and then forget about them? Hell no!

We now need to utilise them and use them to drive our self-image through repetitive affirmations & visualisation, and here’s how were going to do it-

• Each day when you first wake up take 15 mins to yourself. Use a journal to re-write your affirmation & then read it out loud (in a mirror if possible, eye ball yourself & be serious!)
• Visualise that physique. Feel the positive and inspiring emotions that come along with it. Affirm this is who you are and what you believe
• Repeat this at night time. I want you imagining this new you as a reality of here and now. Go into slumber knowing you’re the man!
• Do this as often a possible. Have your affirmations printed out and easily accessible.
• Display it somewhere in your house, have it as the background to your phone, hell even have it playing on loop as you fall asleep every-night if you can. The more you use your self talk to affirm your new self-image the more effective it will be.

This is not a tick and flick exercise. You need to be all in and be dedicated to control your self talk as much as possible to confirm your new self image. I guess what I’m saying here is you want to affirm your new self image as much as reasonably possible. If you’re not doing this daily you’re wasting your time.

Zac’s Tip– Watch out for negative self-talk. Were all guilty of it. This if a form of negative self affirmation and it must be stomped out. Try to make a conscious effort at identifying when you are doing this and follow it up with ‘this is not me’ and affirm your positive self image again and again. Remember your mind does not like you holding 2 conflicting beliefs at once. It’s not built for that.

Now doing this isn’t your ticket to easy street. You still need to put in conscious effort but you will find achieving your ideal physique will be much easier. You’ll notice opportunities to improve as well as pitfalls to avoid. You subconscious will be working for you but you still need to consciously make the required effort!

‘Your only competition is yourself, be better than you were yesterday’

What you aim at determines what you see.

At any one time we have a million points of information that we can take in thanks to our senses. When we’re in the gym there’s music playing, numerous people grunting, plates knocking about & our gym crush wearing her favourite booty popping leggings.

Obviously thats too much to focus on, to get around this our brain filters out 99.9% of what’s going on and only focuses on what’s important. Wait, hold up there! How the hell does our brain determine what’s important? We can both be in a room and observe completely different things.

Why are you noticing one thing and I’m noticing something different?

Well step in the OG, your Reticular Activating System. This guy is located at the base of your brain, its main job is to filter the incoming information and filter out the 99.9% of it that’s of no use to you. It decides what to filter based on what it deems will provide you with value based on your beliefs and your perceived reality.

This is all happening on a subconscious level and is super powerful if you have it working towards what you want to achieve…..like having a killer physique!

Have you ever gone car shopping and landed on a favourite car? Have you then started seeing that type of car everywhere?

Your focus & aim is that new car, you are now seeing that car everywhere. There’s not more of them on the road. You’re just noticing more of them all thanks to you Reticular Activating System.

On one hand this system is very complex in the vast amount of filtering it does and on the other hand it’s very basic in the sense it filters based on what you have programmed it to, that being your reality & beliefs.

We discussed how your thoughts (self-talk) builds your objective reality, whether that be true or not. Your Reticular Activating System then works to assimilate you to this reality by filtering the information accordingly. Thus, what you aim at really does determine what you see.

Another important concept is that you can’t hold 2 conflicting beliefs at one time. You hold your belief and then you assimilate to that belief. When you have conflicting beliefs you assimilate to the stronger of the 2. Theres no splitting hairs here.

A clear example of this is people who have a poor mindset who then win lotto. Over night they’re loaded but they still have a poor mindset. Their reality does not match their self-image/reality and they hold 2 conflicting beliefs at one time (rich/poor).

If they don’t change their mindset they will then spend/waste/giveaway their winning and return to being poor again. In doing so they have assimilated back to their reality that matches their poor mindset. This is why 70% of lottery winners end up going broke and 33% end up declaring bankruptcy. Isn’t that insane? 

To Re-cap-

• Our thoughts (words, picture & emotions) collectively form our beliefs.
• Our beliefs are very powerful and we use them to form our perception of reality as to how we perceive reality to be true.
• Our Reticular Activating System kicks in & filters information based on what it deems of value going off of our beliefs and perceived reality.
• It works to assimilate us to our perception of who we are, that being our self-image. So we’d better get our self-image dialed in!

‘Your only competition is yourself, be better than you were yesterday’

Now Mr Notorious is simply echoing a famous statement by Robert Fritz but the resentment is all the same. In that us humans often limit our performance and goal attainment and settle for mediocrity without even knowing it.

We are limited by what we believe we can achieve, we are limited by our self image. 

We’re all about putting the hours into the gym & meal prep, but how many of us put the time and effort into the mental game with-in ourselves?  Time & time again we see people at the top of their fields affirming their beliefs that they are the GOAT & for good reason, its effective-

• From an early age Cathy Freemon’s mom would make her constantly write out ‘I am the world’s greatest athlete’. She later became one of Australia’s greatest olympians.
• After winning another gold medal for the Olympic 100m sprint Usain Bolt famously shares ‘I just visualised and then executed my plan’
• Jeff Bezos would routinely affirm to himself ‘My thirst is unquenchable, I am the economy, I will never die’ & we all know how well he’s doing.

You too should be mentally empowering yourself to achieve your goals by setting a high standard of your self image & letting your subconscious work for you.

Now this is not some airy fairly self help garbage. What where talking about here is clinically proven & professionally applied by elite athletes, businessmen & professionals the world over to wire them for achievement. 

Your subconscious mind is far more powerful than your conscious mind at pushing you in the right direction for goal attainment.

In the context of this article were going to explore how to win the mental game by getting your subconscious to work for you to achieve your ideal physique. But these practices can & should be utilised for any goal attainment.

To help me lay this out I’m going to introduce you to my man Steve!

Steve is a lad, he’s been an avid gym bro for some time now & he knows what he’s doing. He progressively overloads in the gym to stimulate hypertrophy, he hits his macros & prioritises recovery.

But sometimes life gets in the way & Steve finds that he’s nowhere close to his ideal physique. After years of dedication and effort he feels like he’s spinning his wheels.

At this point Steve (or any Aussie gym-bro) will typically consider running a steroid cycle, or dabble in some form of mild PED usage. Because logically that must be the answer to pushing through a plateau and achieving the ideal physique, right? Well yes & no…    

It’s at this point we need to understand that Steve has established set habits & a pattern of behaviour that’s held him back from achieving his ideal physique. Not on a conscious level, but on a subconscious level.

Yes, we have things like genetic potential getting in the way & perhaps running a steroid cycle would vastly improve his physique. However whatever progression that’s attained will be limited and short lived if he does not win the mental battle inside of himself & have his subconscious working for him. 

Master your mind & master your physique– That’s our objective for Steve & its our objective for you. 

In these articles I’m going to go into more detail on how to win the mental game via covering off the following-

Part 1 – Overview (you are here now)

Part 2 – Thoughts, Beliefs & Reality

Part 3 – Your Reticular Activating System

Part 4 – Your Self Image

Part 5 – Affirming your Self Image

Part 6- Summary & Baselines

Strap yourself in & lets get into it!
