Your thoughts create your reality…

I visualised my successes pretty much from the beginning of my bodybuilding journey.

I’d spend roughly three hours a day either waiting for or on that same number 67 bus and just look out the window, visualising and dreaming of my future and how far I could take this sport. Visualising how my success would look, the feelings of winning and collecting my trophies.

It’s what I’d focus my intention on and put all my energy and efforts into, to make my thoughts my reality.

The key here is to not just picture yourself in the end scenario and leave it at that. You have to literally feel the emotions, the atmosphere, the small details. How you feel when reaching your goal, what you’re thinking, how you’d react exactly.

When you walk around with low states of energy or anger or resentful, then don’t be surprised when your life also returns to you negative interactions and bad workouts.
However, if you want your workouts and the rest of your life to be filled with energy sparked with immense power and greatness then that’s how to enter the gym and how to walk in your life.

Yes I had negative emotions in my life but I used it as fuel, I used it as my drive and discipline. So I turned the negative into something positive.
I did this from desire and instinct, but now with the benefit of hindsight and a more spiritual perspective, I understand how it all works.

Affirmations, thoughts, visualisations and positive self-talking. It all helps significantly to creating the future you want.

I still do this today, I never speak ill of myself, only positivity…
Everything’s mental. You create your reality with your thoughts.
