Weight loss doesn’t have to be a chore. In fact, when you make the decision to improve your lifestyle and change your ways for the better, you will actually feel a boost of excitement as you move into a new positive lifestyle. The decision has to be firm and you should really want to do if it’s going to work. Once you make this decision and feel determined to stick to it, you will have overcome the greatest hurdle – your mind.
“Mind over matter” makes sense with weight loss, as your mind should be controlling how and what you eat and your lifestyle decisions. Take control of your actions by imagining yourself as the driver of your vehicle, fully competent to take action to improve your life. It is important to love your body the way you are now, as it’s only when you love yourself that you are able to do the best for your wellbeing. Then, it is an easy decision to change your life for the best and take action to lose weight effortlessly and naturally.
Now your mind is firmly set on your goal it’s time to create a new lifestyle, your vision of how you would like to be. Plan how to eat better food, take regular exercise and replace any negative thoughts about food with positive affirmations like: “I am beautiful the way I am”, and “I deserve to be the weight I want, full of vitality and health”.
Plan your daily routine carefully and don’t punish yourself for any failure to stick to it. Simply refocus your mind by visualizing your goal and reaffirming your commitment. This new plan will give a new lease of life, which could be just the boost you need to carry you through times of temptation. Replace any temptation with the positive affirmation that you are great as you are and well on the road to increased vitality and wellbeing. Use supplements if you think they are right for you, and choose an exercise routine that you can do comfortably to start with. Your overall wellness is the most important area of your life, so take care of yourself. Get the support of friends and family and ask them to lend encouragement to help you reach your goal.
