In this article we are going
to take a look at 3 top mind training tips that you can easy implement to give
your motivation a boost and assist you to achieve your weight loss and fitness
goals.
Tip 1: Decide to make positive and realistic goals.
In NLP, we realize that our thinking is vital
when it comes to successful completing our desired outcomes and goals. So you
make have a goal that is realistic and positively stated. This is important
because your mind can’t process a negative, for example if I said to you don’t
think about a red car, what are you thinking about? Even though I told you not
to think about a red car, you did have a picture of a red car. So your weight
loss and your fitness goals must be positively stated and realistic so that you
can focus on them and get to where you want to be.
Tip 2: Pay attention to what you say to yourself.
We all talk to ourselves
inside our minds and this is what we call self talk. The problem is that people
generally do not police their self talk and can be, inadvertently, giving
themselves the wrong instructions. Being overly critical of yourself will not
allow you to achieve your desired results. It’s not immediately obvious that
repeating to yourself over and over again, “I don’t want to be fat anymore” is
counterproductive and will cause you to be fat. So you need to change your self
talk and start stating positively to yourself how you want to be instead, for
example, “I am physical active and I enjoy exercise,” “I am making healthy food
choices, “ “I can achieve my goals,” “I deserve to make this change now.”
Tip 3: Visualization
Use the power of your mind to
create a clear visual image of the new you. Looking though your own eyes, as if
it were happening now, imagine what you will see when you have reached your
weight loss goal. What will you hear? How will you feel with all the transformational
results you have achieved? In knowing that now, what will accomplishing this
goal allow you to do? As you think about it, create in your mind’s eye a
sensory rich picture of how it will be. Make sure that the picture includes
visual aspects, maybe you looking at yourself in the mirror. Sounds, like the
compliments your family members are giving you. Feelings, like feeling
delighted with all that you have achieved and excited about the future in light
of attaining this outcome. Plus any tastes or smells that might be important.
Remember to include some positive self talk that we mentioned earlier in this
article.
Summary: In conjunction with your work out regime, diet plan
and supplements, remember to utilize the power of your mind to assist you to
create outstanding results with your weight loss goals. These include designing
goals that are realistic and positively stated, policing your self talk and
ensuring it is focused on your success and visualizing what it will be like
achieving your goal.
