Have you noticed how some people have all the luck? They seem to effortlessly get everything they want!
I know it seem like they are just lucky but usually this is just not the case, they not lucky.
I can guarantee they have a different mindset to you. It’s all about what you tell yourself. Whatever your inner monologue is saying is what will happen. There is plenty of science and physiology that back this up.
There is an area of the brain called the central reticular activating system that stops you being overwhelmed by information. It helps you to focus on what’s important at any one time. If you keep negative thoughts/words in your mind body and soul you will get negative results as this system will help you to focus on the negative.
It’s a fact in life, bad things happen but it’s how you cope with it. You have a choice whenever something happens. You can either get stressed which will cause more worries and everything to seem worse or you can take it on the chin and think how you can overcome this and put a positive twist on it.
I have a question for you, what is your main goal for health and fitness?
The answer you have given to this question could tell me a lot about your mentality and your long term success rate.
If your answer was “I don’t want to be fat anymore and I am fed up of being tired”
This type of answer will not help you achieve your goal as you are keeping “being fat and tired” very much alive and in the front of your mind. Without you even realising it you are focusing on being fat and tired. We want you guys to move towards your goals not to move away from your current state.
So let ask the question again and reframe the answer, ‘What is your main goal for health and fitness?’
“I would like to have more energy and to feel sexy and comfortable in myself”
With this answer you are moving towards your goal and this is now what you are focusing on.
You now will have the start of a very powerful tool that will help you achieve your goals in life and to keep long term success.
I’m not saying that changing your whole mind set is easy, it is something that could be very emotional but with our 100% support and your awareness of it you can achieve it.
You need to really focus and concentrate on what YOU want, what will make you happy. Remember the unconscious mind needs to know what you are aiming for and you get what you concentrate on.
This is similar to a person walking through a field and always taking a particular route. After a number of times through the field, a path will begin to form. As the path forms, the person’s pace will become faster since he knows where to go and consequently the grass is worn down under one’s steps, eventually becoming a well trodden track. In the same manner, by having clients focus on what they want, a neuron path for the desired state and its associated behaviour will begin to form.
Each step is a step closer, so today I want you to focus on what you want and if a negative thought or feeling may cross your mind I want you to consciously reframe it into a positive though or sentence. Doing this consciously will then help the unconscious mind to build that pathway.
Each morning think of three positive things you would like to achieve today for example:
I would like to attend Bootcamp/personal training session today
I would like to go the whole day eating the best possible foods
I would like to spend quality time with my family
There are three positive actions that will improve my day.
Each night before you go to sleep I would like you to think about the day and only focus on the positive things that happened in your day.
Remember there is ALWAYS a positive!
