3. Motivation: Are you MOTIVATED enough to follow
your plan every day?
In order to achieve you goal you have to keep yourself
motivated. There are three effective techniques that will
help you to stay on track.
- Remember your reasons and benefits.
Take the list of benefits you wrote before. Read it. Read
it every morning before you get up. Read it whenever you
need stimulation.
Think about your wish, stay connected with your goal. When
you are able to keep your mind on success you will be virtually
certain to reach that success.
- Visualize yourself being slim
Close your eyes and relax... Create a clear mental picture.
Visualize yourself being slim. How it feels? Do you feel
satisfied? Happy? How others look at you? What are they
saying?
Try to make the picture as realistic as possible. When
you continually see yourself in possession of your goal,
your subconscious mind will move you into actions that align
with the mental image you hold. Visualize your goal at every
opportunity.
- Use affirmations
Affirmations are the words we say to ourselves. It is the
simple repeating a positive phrase in front of the mirror,
in the car, or writing it on paper.
First, develop a couple of affirmations that are the most
motivational to you. For example, it can be something like:
"My body is strong and healthy."
"I enjoy eating foods that are delicious and full of
vitamins and minerals."
"I love the burst of energy I get after exercising."
"Every day, I am burning calories and getting closer
to my weight goal."
"My healthy lifestyle empowers me."
Then repeat it as often as you can. While driving, cooking,
brushing your teeth... Say it loud, add emotions. Listen
to your affirmation. Feel it.
The trick is not to force yourself, but listen to yourself.
Get motivated first and you won’t have to struggle
trying to make yourself exercise or keep away from that
doughnut. Your desire will keep you committed to your goal.
