I have previously looked at mind-set and specifically how your mind-set really determines your long term weight. It is your programming that leads to your beliefs, attitudes, feelings and therefore actions. Without the right actions, you'll never get the right result, so you need to start at the foundation - your subconscious programming or mind-set.
So how exactly can you achieve this?
Well, one of the best techniques that I have come across for long term weight loss is known as 'self-talk'. This may well be something that you have heard of before and it can have a profoundly positive impact on your mind-set, and therefore your weight, when usd properly. Lets take a look at how we can use this technique for lasting weight loss success.
As I talked about in the my previous article, programs can come from all sorts of sources including what you say, both out loud and internally to yourself. So when you keep saying 'i'll never lose weight' or 'diets don't work for me' this is going to gradually become reality. What self talk does is help you to change your programs by making sure you deliver positive ones to your subconscious, rather than negative ones.
The first thing that you need to do, therefore, is evaluate what your current self talk is like. One way of doing this is simply by noting down all internal comment you make regarding your weight, exericse, dieting and so on. Note down all of the phrases you hear for three days and you'll start to build a picture of what your internal dialogue is like.
After 3 days, evaluate what you've written down. Is this the sort of programming that you want to be logging into your subconscious, the driving force behind everything you do? If you answer no to that question, and the majority will, then you're going to need to do something about it.
In order to sort this issue out you will first need to turn your negative self talk into positive self talk. For example, if you wrote down the phrase 'I hate exercise' you can change this to be 'I love exercise'. Do that with all of your phrases and you'll start to see what you should be logging into your subconscious mind.
Now that you have these positive messages, read them every day. Read them each morning, in from of the mirror, and out loud. If you do this for a few weeks you will start to see some positive changes. When this happens you can start to take things further by editing your internal self talk as you go. This is where long term change will come from.
This one technique can work wonders. If you use it effectively you will certainly start to build a much more solid weight loss foundation.
