Weight
Loss Requires The Right Attitude
If you have tried
every diet on the planet, every exercise program from the
latest fitness guru and repeatedly failed to achieve your
weight loss goals you probably need a “check up from the
neck up.”
Successful weight
loss doesn’t just happen. It took more than a few days to
reach the point where you are at right now. Give yourself
a break and expect it to take awhile before you see measurable
results. Take a leap of faith and follow some basic principles.
Begin with your
“self talk.” This is the conversation that runs through your
brain continuously. What kind of conversation do you have
with your self talk? What type of negative self talk has
kept you from reaching your goals in the past?
If you had a chance
to do it over again, would you change the dialogue? That’s
a no-brainer isn’t it? Well, the good news is that you can
turn the tide of negative self talk beginning right now.
It’s never too late to begin and you start by reprogramming
your self talk.
A good
starting point is to begin with positive affirmations. Positive
affirmations spoken aloud with authority and belief, positively
affect your attitude, focuses your thinking and lead to
a course of action that will help you become the person
you want to be and have the things that you want to have.
Begin by writing
your affirmations on paper. You need to take some time for
this exercise. You can begin with something like, “I want
to lose 25 pounds before Christmas.” That’s a worthy goal
and attainable, but we need to put some work into structuring
the affirmation.
First of all,
“I want” gives the impression that what you desire is always
in the future. In order to re-program your self talk, you
need to trick your mind into believing that you have already
achieved success. This is how your subconscious mind functions.
Your subconscious
mind has no capacity for understanding the concept of time.
Everything is in the moment...here and now. When you tell
your subconscious mind that you “want” that is exactly what
you will get...want...without ever achieving fulfillment.
Unless you change your mental tape recorder, you will achieve
exactly what you are telling your subconscious, that you
“want to lose 25 pounds.” You will “want to lose 25 pounds”
for the rest of your days unless you change your self talk.
If your weight
is 150 pounds and you desire is to weight 125 pounds, then
you need to “be” 125 pounds from the moment you make the
decision to change your self talk.
What if you write
your affirmation to read something like this: “I am healthy
and fit weighing 125 pounds.”
What are you telling
your subconscious now? It’s extremely important that you
phrase your affirmation as if you have already accomplished
what you desire. Work on writing it out until you have it
precisely as you wish to become.
