Mindset

I was sitting here reading and an overwhelming thought occurred to me that I just had to share with you all….read this slowly as I may not have conveyed it in the most user-friendly manner :)

…Have you ever known someone who has successfully lost weight, and maintained that loss, who at the beginning, and all the way through, truly believed there was no way they would lose weight and keep it off??....

I ask this as I know myself that I have NEVER known anyone in this boat- and I have seen MANY clients for weight loss!

So please do me a favour and think this through carefully IF you are trying to lose weight, or in fact, achieve any goal or resolution you have set yourself….

DO you TRULY believe you can achieve the outcome you desire? Can you visualize it? Can you feel it? Hear it? Smell it? Be there in the outcome. Live as if it is already yours… for if you do, there is NO doubt, it will be!!!! :)

I’d love to hear others thoughts/opinions on this perspective…..

Just to add- if you are trying to lose weight- complete this exercise:
-when was the last time you were at your most comfortable healthy weight?
-what did you look like?
-what did you wear?
-how did you feel? Energetic? Strong? Healthy? Fit? Happy? Confident?
-what were you doing at that time? Exercising? Eating well? Busy? Respecting your body?

Think of all these things and get a picture in your head.
Feel the feelings you had then…energy…happiness…respect…comfort
See and feel your body feeling the way it did at that time- agile, bouncy, strong......

As you progress on your journey to arrive at your most comfortable, healthy weight, carry this image and feeling with you.

You must truly believe you can be there again in order for you to achieve your goal!

So dream, believe and achieve! :)

Cheers!
