We remember what we have seen
18
Grey spots?
19
There are only white circles at the
intersections
20
Three Streams.Apparent movement of the streams
is created by afterimages as our eyes shift to
examine the picture.
21
Rotating WheelsThe circles appear to rotate when
you move your head closer and further away from
the screen while looking at the dot in the
center. Our peripheral vision interprets the
relative increase or decrease of the image in the
retina as rotational motion of the slanted lines.
22
An afterimage is a visual impression that remains
in the retina after the initial stimulus is
removed. The afterimage always has colors that
are complementary to those of the original image.
Look steadily at the cross in the center of the
picture to see an afterimage.

What can we learn from these experiments?

• We see with our eyes, but we learn to perceive
  with our brain.
• We need to question our perceptions, because
  sometimes we make mistakes, make wrong
  assumptions, or draw the wrong conclusions.

31
What happen when we are focused?

• Please, look attentively to the team with a white
  T-shirt.
• Count the number of pass that they are making
  ONLY with members of their own team.
• Dribbling is not a pass. Pass is only when the
  ball goes from one player to another player.

10 Tips

• 10 skills
• for developing
• a Healthy Body Image
• and Self-esteem

Galdwin L. A. (2002) Fitness Theory and
Practice, 4th Edition, AFAA p. 208
66
HONOR YOUR PERSONAL STORY
Who are you?

• Past events and experiences shape our
  conception of body image.
• By acknowledging your personal story you become
  more conscious of past positive and destructive
  lifestyle patterns and are more receptive to
  choosing healthier behavior.

Be the hero in your own story
67
Accept yourself the way you are

• Developing an acceptance of your body image in
  the present form allows you to channel your
  energies into modifying behavior, rather than
  struggling with negative woulda, coulda,
  shoulda thinking.

Is there a need for change in what you see?
Call it ... Opportunity!!
68
Create a positive mental outlook
It all starts with " what you think" and "what
you think about it"!!

• The attitude that you bring into a situation
  greatly determines the outcome.
• Creating, nurturing and sustaining a positive
  attitude is the key to feeling good about
  yourself.

69
Develop positive self-talk skills

• Self-talk is composed of the messages you give
  yourself on an ongoing basis.
• By developing positive statements and
  affirmations you reinforce qualities, skills and
  attributes that exist within you.
• Regular use of affirmations will make an
  impression on your unconscious mind and have a
  major effect on the way you view yourself.

I am beautiful I am a nice person I am good enough
70
Guide away from comparisons

• A healthier body image challenges the picture
  perfect images that the media and advertisers
  encourage people to emulate.
• Beauty is a multi-dimensional ever-changing
  combination of a variety of aspects of an
  individual.
• Celebrating the differences in hair texture, body
  build, skin color, energy level, attitude, age
  and inner beauty creates individual expressions
  of beauty that make each person unique.

71
Build your self-reliance

• Each time you challenge yourself and attempt a
  task or skill that is outside of your comfort
  zone, you will experience confidence in your
  abilities.
• By creating daily, mini mental, physical,
  emotional and spiritual challenges, you
  strengthen your mind, body and spirit
  resourcefulness.

72
Live in the now

• To enjoy life fully, it is important to remember
  to stay in the present and experience life from
  moment to moment.
• What is needed is a healthy balance of looking
  forward to the future with anticipation, while
  respecting the past for its insight and, most
  importantly, living in the now.

Today is a gift, This is why it is called the P
R E S E N T...
73
Reward yourself

• Creating rewards and positive incentives to keep
  you on track with your body image program is
  essential for long-term maintenance.
• Develop daily, weekly and monthly incentives
  that recognize the effort you are putting into
  your personal body image wellness program.

74
Give yourself praise

• Acknowledge the positive steps you make in
  taking care of yourself.
• Be open to the praise of others and regularly
  give and receive compliments.

Good Job!
Congratulations
75
Be connected

• Honoring the role that other people play in your
  life is important to staying on track with
  healthy behaviors.

• Take time out to be in touch with nature and the
  environment. Plant a garden, nurture a pet, visit
  an elder, and lean something from a child today.
