The Positive Thinking Link To Weight Loss
Do you practice positive thinking or do you think it’s just a whole lot of “new age hooey?” Would you be surprised to know that there have been breakthroughs recently in the field of neuroscience that prove the effect of positive thinking on your life — and, more importantly, since your looking for weight loss information, that there is a positive thinking link to achieving your weight loss goals?
Scientists have shown that our brain is very literally like a computer, waiting for a program to be installed. And it will carry out whatever instructions you give it. It also turns out that the main way our “mental computer” is programmed is through our own thoughts that we repeat day after day.
Don’t waste any more time WISHING. Do this and start GETTING!
That also means that a lot of us are still programmed by a lot of the negative thoughts we’ve picked up over the years.
Can you reprogram your “mental computer?” Fortunately, yes you can. You have to “install” new positive programming to override the old negative program. You can do this through techniques like goal setting, positive self-talk (affirmations) and mental imagery (visualization).
Today nearly all successful athletes use visualization. It’s been proven that your brain does not see a difference between real practice and practice that is imagined vividly.
If you feel like you’ve been doing all the right things — eating right, exercising regularly — but you’re still battling a weight problem maybe it’s time to take a look at the “program” you’ve been running in your head.
You can start on a new path by writing down your goals. Then work on changing how you “talk” to yourself. See yourself as you ideally want to be. Visualize yourself as having already achieved your goals.
When you repeat these techniques often enough you’ll be able to start a “reprogramming” of the non-conscious part of the mind. Science has shown that it’s possible to create new patterns through these methods. It usually takes 21 to 30 days to establish this new pattern so it’s critical that you stick with these methods.
It isn’t easy. Controlling your thinking is hard! You need to accept the fact that negative thoughts will pop up from time to time, just try not to dwell on them. Try to counteract them with your positive affirmations.
What are you saying to yourself everyday? Do you say “I’m fat” – “I’ll never lose this weight” – “Nothing I do works” –
If that’s what your saying then change it! Start saying “I’m becoming leaner every day” — “I am growing healthier every day.” The simple fact is you can think yourself thin and healthy. But don’t get me wrong — you can’t just eat everything in sight, never exercise and believe that you’ll end up reaching your goal!
These methods are a way to re-program your thinking and in turn will lead to new behaviors that help you reach your goals. It’s a whole string of positive reactions — thinking and action. They work hand in hand. To change things (weight or any other aspect of your life) you need to start on the inside and the rest will follow.
Still a skeptic? Have you ever heard the saying “as you think, so shall you be”? It’s been said by philosophers and theologians for centuries. And now science is backing it up — there is a positive thinking link not only to weight loss but to all areas of your life.
