Get Your Mind On Your Side

Successful weight loss is more than just eating healthy food and exercising regularly. A very important,  and much overlooked component, is the way you think about weight loss and the way you think about yourself. You can ruin your weight loss efforts if you indulge frequently in negative thoughts and you can increase your chances of success if you frequently practice positive thinking.
Below is a list of common negative thoughts on weight loss, with a list of substitute positive thoughts you can think instead.

You Can Do It

Shifting your focus from 'can't do' to 'can do' will help you lose weight. Take the word 'can't' out of your vocabulary when it comes to weight loss and getting fit...you CAN do anything you put your mind to.

Be Careful What You Think and Say

Your thoughts and the words you say about yourself, your weight and your ability to lose weight have a tremendous impact on your motivation....make sure you use positive ones that help you along and not negatives ones that hold you back.

I Think I Can

Message From My Future Self #1

I used to play a game with myself whereby I would pretend that my future self had lost all the extra weight and got super fit and would send me messages from the future to encourage me on my journey.

I thought I’d revive this little game in a series of posts entitled ‘message from my future self’ because this game is really a very powerful visualisation technique that really gets your mind believing that the weight loss and fitness you seek is an absolute reality in your future timeline.

Once you believe, really believe that something you desire is definitely going to come true in your life you will do everything in your power to make it happen.

Hope you will enjoy my little game.
