What is CVR?

CVR is Creative Visualization and Relaxation. It is a process that helps you relax. When you relax, your other-than-conscious mind becomes receptive to changing habits and behavior patterns. Habits like the feeling that a meal is incomplete if it doesn’t end with dessert. If you don’t want to eat sweets at the end of a meal (frankly a dessert make me feel ill) then you tell your other-than-conscious mind that it now feels completely satisfied at the end of the main course and you finish your meal then because you are satisfied.

All our behaviors are linked to habits. Sitting in front of the TV is a habit. If you turn on the TV when you walk into the room, it’s a habit. If you light up a cigarette at the end of a meal it’s a habit. If you turn on the lights in a dark room when you enter, it’s a habit. If you snack when you come home from school, you may be hungry, and it’s still a habit. Drinking coffee in the morning is a habit. Picking up a Snickers Bar at the checkout counter is a habit – and don’t for a moment think the Supermarkets don’t know that.

In Suzy Prudden’s Pounds Off we identify the most common habits that keep people overweight and create processes to change those habits so that you can listen to on your New Reality PAL at home or in class. Sometimes the habits change as soon as you become aware of them, sometimes they change over time. Sometimes the suggestions take hold and you never return to a habit. Sometimes you find yourself slipping into the habit again so you need to listen to the habit-breaking process a few more times to get back on track.

CVR makes changing habits fun and easy no matter what behaviors you’re trying to change.
