How do you see yourself? What do you say to yourself when you look in the mirror? Do you say things like, look at my fat face? Do you often describe yourself as the fat person in the group? Maybe you're not overweight, maybe you smoke. Do you find yourself saying phrases like I'm a smoker, or maybe you have a disease, do you find yourself talking about the disease every chance you get? Do you say things like, hi I'm Deborah, I'm a diabetic.
Whenever you say "I am" something that something is what you will become.
Why do I ask you all these questions? The answer is simple. How you see yourself is key to the health or fitness you currently have. You see, you will never outperform the image or mental picture you have of yourself in your mind. If you see yourself as a little fat girl, your subconcious will do everything in it's power to maintain the mental image you hold of yourself as the little fat girl.
If you find yourself constantly sabotaging your weight loss efforts and you feel you have a good weight loss strategy in place perhaps you need to look at your mind, your mental conditioning, your paradigm! You need to think thin. You need to start seeing yourself as you want to .....but I don't believe in that secret crap you might say to yourself but what if you're so close, what if you're about to finally have the body you desire, what if your mental conditioning is rejecting this very knowledge because your subconcious is trying to keep you a certain way.
Make up your mind today to change your mind.
How does one change their mind?
Habits and mental conditioning are changed with repetition and belief.
Create a list of all the qualities you would like to have and be sure to leave nothing out.
Now read that list to yourself everyday once in the morning and again at the end of the day or even better read it every chace you get.....and don't just read it, put some feeling behind it.
You'll notice yourself begin to change and you will start to accept and become what you've written down on paper.
Be careful not to let doubts or negative people talk you out of your new found knowledge.
Do this for the next 30 days!
Don't ever forget the power the mind has to make changes in your health or your life!
Chat in a bit!
Make it a great day!
