Be Brave and Make Some Changes

Making changes can be scary because we are in a rut and use to our current routine and lifestyle. It can take bravery to make a change. By recognising what life will be like if you did not make the change compared to your life if you did is a great way to get you motivated to take the required action.

A quote from the film 'We Bought a Zoo' helps come up with a solution for us to be brave enough to change and make difference to our lifes:

"You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery, and I promise you something great will come of it."

This advice helped his son in the movie ask a girl out because 20 seconds of bravery is achievable to make that change. The choice of having a better lifestyle for himself was worth that 20 seconds of insane bravery.

This is all you need to get started on your weight loss journey too. 20 seconds of courage and the changes have started.

The Importance of the Mind For Weight Loss

We at Mind Body Weight Loss love how the power of the mind helps people lose weight and this quote helps explain why:

"The body achieves what the mind believes"

The basic say to me that everything comes from a thought, before we do anything and I mean anything it is processed in the brain, either consciously or unconsciously but it is processed in the mind first. So if we control our thoughts to be those that will help us lose weight our words, behaviour and actions will then follow on from these thoughts and create our desired outcomes. This is why the mind is so powerful and why Jose Silva believed that for any meaningful change to occur we need desire, belief and an expectance that it will happen.

We, at Mind Body Weight Loss, are here to help you achieve the correct mindset for you to achieve your weight loss goals. We do this with regular posts with tips, advice and motivation. We also have 3 really helpful FREE ebooks cram packed with information, and on top of this to help you achieve the strongest beliefs to aid your weight loss we have regular eNewsletter updates for you.

Start Where You Are

This post is similar to the theme of yesterdays in that just control, do and use what you can to make your weight loss method as effective as possible. The quote suggests:

Start where you are.
Use what you have.
Do what you want.

So lets break this down line by line:

Start where you are - means to me that in this moment right now with everything the way it is the best time to start losing weight and taking control of your life is definitely now.

Use what you have - translates as find your strength and working them to get the best outcomes, it could also mean getting the most out your knowledge, support groups, shop and food.

Do what you can - With the knowledge you have what can you do to make this happen with full desire, belief and expectancy it is going to happen. You can also look at lots of different method to help you lose weight like The Gabriel Method, Weight Loss Attitude, Fat Loss Code, The Silva Method for Weight Loss, Hypnosis for weight loss and Program yourself thin to name a few.

You Are in Control

How empowering! It means that like others before you who have achieved the goals that you want you to can achieve them, if you decide too.

It is said by the Silva Method that once you decide to be who you want to be you need 3 things to make it happen:

• Desire
• Belief
• Expectancy

A nice little zen story about desire makes will make you think:

A man approaches a Zen Master and asks to be shown the path to enlightenment. The Master replies, “Okay, follow me,” stands up, and walks the man to a nearby river and into the water. Without warning, the Master forces the man’s head under the water and holds it there as he struggles violently for his life, until he is nearly dead. At last the Master pulls the man up, gasping for air, and says, “When you want to be enlightened as badly as you wanted to take your next breath just now, come back and see me.

Belief, like I said earlier, if some else can do it, then there is no reason you can not achieve it too. NLP is a great believer in this by suggesting 'Modelling'. This means that following the same procedure and actions as the person who lost the weight and achieved the goal like yours. This is a great way to develop the belief because you have seen it work for somebody else.

Expectancy means expect the results to happen, and why shouldn't you because you know it will happen for you too.

Some People you may like to 'Model' your weight loss on could be:

• John Gabriel
• Anna Aparicio
• Lizzy
• Jose Silva 

I hope you found this post helpful in working towards your weight loss goals, we at Mind Body Weight Loss will support you in achieving this.

Take care
