Mindset - the secret key to weight loss
Think differently about weight loss
Weight loss can be such a struggle. Over time I have been thin, fat and everything in between. I have a spectrum of different clothes sizes in my wardrobe. I have tried all the diets, all the fitness plans all the 'just eat less an move more' ideas going. But you know what I realise now? The most important thing about weight loss is your mindset. If you aren't doing it for the right reasons, if the reason to change isn't big enough, then it can be incredibly difficult to change. Although I thought I wanted to lose weight, I was reasonably healthy and quite fit and being overweight didn't cause me enough of a problem to want to put in the required effort to change it.
This principle of moving away from pain towards pleasure is an interesting concept and it can make or break your chances of achieving the changes you really want. The basic concept is this.
if the pain of staying the same greater than the pain of making the change?
If you can add real emotional significance to the change and emphasise the pain of staying the same then the desire to change becomes more tangible. I often say to my clients if you re in a place in your life where:
1. You cannot go on like this, something has GOT to change you simply cannot carry on as you are
2. You recognise it is you that has to change
3. You know it has to be NOW
Then you are in great place, this is where the magic happens. The same is true when it comes to weight loss. So ask yourself what is the pain of not losing weight for you? What does it stop you doing, what issues does it cause? Then think about all the things you would enjoy if you lost weight, really visualise them and add emotion to it - Emotion is the driver of change - without the emotion its just a passing thought. So make those visions f your future bright and powerful and tag on some serious emotion to drive you towards them. Feel the pain of staying the same and the joy of moving towards the change/
and if you want some help with the mindset part, this is where hypnosis can really help. It can help you amplify that desire and install the emotional drive. So if you re ready, why not get in touch and see what I can do for you.
