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 what exactly can you do about this?
Well, one of the main techniques that I like to use is called 'self-talk'. This is something my clients often use and it can have wonderful results when used properly and consistently. So lets quickly look into how this works.
As I mentioned previously, your programming comes from various sources, one of the most important of which is your own internal dialogue. So when you say to yourself 'I will never lose weight for good' or 'diets simply do not work for me' you are actually programming this into your subconscious and making it a reality. So what self talk will do is help you to change your inner dialogue so that you are creating positive, not negative programming.
The first thing to do is to evaluate what your self talk is like at the moment. The best way of doing this is by spending 3 days carry around a notepad and keeping a log of all of your current self talk about dieting, exercise, and your weight. So, if you heard yourself saying 'this diet is not going to work for me' in your head, you'd note that down. This will help you create a cleaer picture of what your current self talk 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.
Use this technique regularly and you will see amazing changes to your mind-set. This will allow you to build that super strong foundation for permanent weight loss success.
