SLIM AT HOME – Submission date: 2nd February 2009
Weight loss programmes are like strawberries without cream, if you’re not ready it isn't going to work.
The action to change your life forever only takes a second, but the action to achieve that state can take years. So what’s the Secret?
The secret is that there is not a perfect time and often enough it’s too easy to delay the action by various self limiting beliefs. The “Starting Pistol” to weight loss is your conscious choice to take massive action, but by delaying the action is increasing the internal communication fight that you’re going to have to face.
Fact: 55% of the way that we communicate is through physiology. If your weight has crept up over the years and you’re delaying the action, now is the time to act! Master the art of internal communication and you'll be able to do anything! Improve this and the chances of sustained weight loss are increased dramatically.
So, is getting in the ultimate mind set really that hard? No, its not. You have already started the ball rolling by looking for help, so your way ahead of the others.
“The Starting Pistol” – This is the fun bit! Think of a time when you were highly motivated to change and you made the decision within a second! You made the choice instantly without hesitation, and you’re still living your life by that action. (It doesn’t have to be anything to do with weight loss).
Success leaves clues it’s just a matter of applying it to weight loss!
The good news is that if you have made a positive change in the past and your life is still on that path then you apply the same strategy! Think back to what was going on in your mind at that time, what were you feeling and focus on the split second that the action to change happened. Once you have it, and you’ll know when, and then simply apply it!
Is the NOW really the best time? The best times to start anything is when you are ready, but make sure your ready by asking if there is any reason why you shouldn’t start, Confused! Well so is your mind? Hence the reason that previous dieting has probably not worked for you. Be really clear about starting your “personalised” programme, and make a definitive micro second when you’re going to start. And go for it!
I am a strong believer of the “Chameleon Effect” in that you become those you most mix with. It’s hard to run in mud when you’re surrounded by the stuff, but try running on tarmac, it’s a lot easier. If you really want to loose weight then don’t make excuses, as they only become part of your environment. Improve your communication along with your environment and it’s guaranteed that you will succeed.
So once you have decided to start, get started. Don’t wait! Waiting does nothing for you, take massive action and stay focused. If you need some motivation, look back at some old photos, sometime visual aids work wonders.
Live like you have already achieved your goals.
Don’t live in the past! If the actions you have taken in the past haven’t worked then don’t replicate the strategy unless you want the same outcome!
Tip: Don’t use the word “try”! When have you ever succeeded at anything when you “tried”? Use the words “can” and “will” instead. It’s amazing how the slightest linguistic communication change can dramatically improve your chances of success.
Master your internal communication and your master your wildest dreams.
If you really want to improve your wellbeing and health, then take action today!
