It is my firm belief, that with any goal
you work towards, or any plan you make; if you have a Plan B… then that’s your
plan!
Let me repeat that, this time in bold
and italics;
If you have a plan B, then
that’s your plan!
Am I
suggesting that whatever goals you aim at, even if they are risky and downright
terrifying, you shouldn’t have a fall-back plan as a safety net?
I am
not suggesting that!
I am
stating it categorically, and in bold italics!
Furthermore,
if your Plan A doesn’t have you trembling with fear at the same time as being
elated with the possibilities that it could bring, then honey; you ain’t aiming high enough!
The
same applies to your health and your weight.
Do
you, in the back of your mind, ever hear those little voices? No, I am not
certifiable (not officially anyway) but think about those little voices and
the things they say…
·
I
am happy like I am!
·
I
don’t want to become obsessed with my weight so it’s better for me and everyone
around me if I just accept my fate.
·
I
am just too exhausted to put myself and my family though the
rigors of me being on another difficult diet.
Whatever
your little voices may be saying to you, as an excuse to not try again; I urge
you to search your soul a little deeper
·
Are
you truly happy as you are? If you are, then well done! No further
action required.
·
Are
you truly healthy as you are? Will your current size support longevity
and vitality?
·
Do
you think that your health is important?
·
Can
you believe that losing weight could be fun and without “obsession” or a sense
of deprivation? If not, then you have a lot of work ahead of you!
Once you believe that weight-loss
is easy, once you believe that weight-loss will succeed, then setting up a
routine that supports you plans and also fits in with your family, your busy
schedule and even your social life, becomes natural and non-stressful.
It all
boils down to how you represent it to yourself.
Think about it logically; If you
believe that weight-loss is such a challenge then will you see the difficulties
of how to fit it in to the demands of your life?
If you believe that
weight-loss is easy, and your health is just as important as the demands of
your family or your job, then will you find and create manageable possibilities
that soon become natural routines, that you, and your family no longer even
think about as unusual? Can
you believe that if you start to celebrate food as wonderful fuel, that nourishes
your body, that your body might derive more benefit from it?
Do you think that
by associating food with guilt and anticipated weight gain alone, you are
benefiting your body or your brain in any way?
If
you are too exhausted right now, then work first, on changing your mind! Your
health and your size will follow suit and, it will be fun.
Those
little voices that hold you back are simply your limiting beliefs trying their best to keep you in the familiar zone that your sub-conscious mind finds
so comfortable. They are stating the case for Plan B. (For example: I
will learn to accept my extra weight as being okay and I will find peace with
that)
The problem with Plan B, is that it is always within your comfort
zone and that, is exactly what you need to break away from!
If you even
entertain Plan B, then Plan B is all that you will achieve. This
is not just about how we look my friend; If you believe that your current weight
is healthy, and that you truly can accept the size you are right now; then
great and as I said before; No further action required!
If, however, you are serious about losing weight, once and for all, if you love the idea of
reaching your ideal weight and easily maintaining it for life, then you must learn to first change your mind!
Ditch
Plan B, give yourself no alternative. Health and weight-loss must your
only option. Believe
that you will achieve it & celebrate your milestones and wins along the way
(don’t celebrate by eating cakes and junk – use you head please!)
Maintain
internal and external dialogue that supports you new mindset and body, for
life!
Maintenance
is key and, you should realize by now that I am referring to maintenance
of your mind!
Once
you are losing weight and even before you have reached your goal weight – the
joyous journey of maintaining your new positive dialogue patterns, will
continue to deliver revelations regularly. This is a joyful and liberating
process.
Remember
that your external dialogues (the words you say out loud) are just as important
as your internal dialogue, don’t confuse yourself by telling yourself every day
how well you are doing while using negative statements about yourself out loud.
Always
respect the immense power of words. The quality of your life is hugely
dependent on the words that you use!
Consider the words and phrases that are holding you back
and not serving you. Remember that this applies, not only to weight-loss but in
fact to all areas of your life.
You
have 2 options;
1 Use
language that builds you and supports you.
OR
2 Use
language that holds you back, keeps you where you are and does not serve you.
I am so stupid. Is this a belief that will serve you? Say it out loud
often enough and your sub-conscious mind will accept it as the truth. Your
actions and your decisions will then fall in line to support this belief!
Your
sub-conscious mind is, in fact, 90% of your mind, and my friend,
that 90% is powerful! Your sub-conscious
mind has no filter, it absorbs and accepts every bit of information that it
receives, good or bad, complimentary or downright unfair. In so doing, it creates our deep-seated unconscious beliefs of which, many are self-limiting beliefs. In turn, our
actions then do us the glorious disfavor of upholding the lies that we tell ourselves (our self-limiting beliefs).
First, we create our thoughts and beliefs,
and then our thoughts and beliefs create us.
We all do this to
ourselves so often;
Eeeough I look
terrible,
I am not
clever,
I have no
talents,
I am a slow
learner,
I am such a
plonker!
Don’t let those
statements become part of your subconscious blueprint! Do you suppose that someone like
Richard Branson believes he is stupid, or not good enough? Can you imagine that
a large part of the reason that he is so successful is because he always
believed that he could achieve the things that he has?
Even for losing weight,
you can use the strategy that millionaires use for achieving success;
Believe it is possible and give yourself
no other option!
The Only Plan, is plan A
