#Visualize the Fat Melting Away on Bathtub Party Day! by Janice Taylor, Weight Loss Artist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today, dear Tushkateers, devotees of Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> and those who have serendipitously landed on this page, is a holiday: Bathtub Party Day<\/a>! In honor of this auspicious holiday and in keeping with our #OneWord Thursday tradition, today we will #visualize while celebrating Bathtub Party Day!<\/p>\n

Back in the day<\/em> (nearing a baker\u2019s dozen years ago), when I first started on my journey to Sveltesville with Our Lady of Weight Loss by my side, after a hard day\u2019s work, I often took a long, hot soak. I imagined the excess fat melting away in the steamy bath.<\/p>\n

The bathtub, a quiet, private space proved to be the best place to imagine the excess fat melting away, to create a mental picture, to visualize my weight loss success.<\/p>\n

Visualizing my success was essential to my success. Much like Dr. Norman Vincent Peale expressed in the following quote, the pictures I imagined took hold. I practiced seeing my success nightly, to this day never allowing those pictures to fade.<\/p>\n

I invite you to read through and take in (on a cellular level) Our Lady of Weight Loss’s (and my) favorite quotes to inspire you to #visualize!<\/p>\n

Imagine whatever it is you\u2019d like to create. Should the inner-critic, the naysayer show up while imagining, politely ask them to leave, \u201cHere\u2019s your hat. What\u2019s your hurry?\u201d Show them the door and get back to creating your mental images!<\/p>\n

\u201cFormulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously and never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop this picture!\u201d ~ Dr. Norman Vincent Peale<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.\u201d ~ Mark Twain<\/p>\n

\u201cSee things as you would have them be instead of as they are.\u201d ~ Robert Collier<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYou got to be careful if you don\u2019t know where you\u2019re going, because you might not get there.\u201d ~ Yogi Berra<\/p>\n

\u201cImagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create.\u201d ~ Albert Einstein<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to reach a goal, you must \u2018see the reaching\u2019 in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal.\u201d ~ Zig Ziglar<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you think, so shall you become.\u201d ~ Bruce Lee<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cGo Confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you\u2019ve imagined.\u201d ~ Henry David Thoreau<\/p>\n

\u201cVision is not enough, it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs.\u201d ~ Vaclav Havel<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cImagination rules the world\u201d ~ Napoleon Bonaparte<\/p>\n
