Weight Loss is Only Possible With the Correct Psychology
Losing weight
is often a struggle but it is even more of a struggle
without the right psychology. You can have all the
information in the world about how to lose weight but
without the right psychology to apply it, it is useless.
Weight loss is only achieved
by having the correct information and using that
information to take action.
Having the appropriate
psychology is the most important element of weight loss
but is usually overlooked and underestimated. The right
psychology will give you motivation, commitment, and
help you to overcome obstacles, temptations and
distractions. The proper psychology can also make weight
loss fun, easier, more exciting and develop changes
towards a healthy new lifestyle and a better quality of
life.
I will try to keep this
article as simple as possible. I will avoid jargon
whenever I can. I will not go into detail about how some
of the processes work, as it is irrelevant. However if
you would like more detailed information then feel free
to contact me, my details are at the end of the article.
During the article I use the term losing weight. When I
say losing weight I am specifically referring to losing
fat. Weight loss is all about fat loss. I want you to
lose fat but keep the muscle.
What is the right psychology and why is
it important?
First off I will start referring to a person’s
psychology as a mindset. A mindset is important because
it controls our behavior, thoughts and actions. As
people grow they develop habits and associations that
govern their life. These habits and associations are
controlled by our subconscious and people are usually
unaware of them. A person’s subconscious can also
sabotage their weight loss efforts. The right mindset
consists of using various techniques and strategies to
control your behavior by monitoring your actions and
thoughts. This will help to replace your old habits and
associations with new ones that will be more beneficial.
“Why do overweight people
moan about losing weight but don’t do anything about
it?” - Jack Bauer, BPhEd
A colleague of mine Jack
Bower couldn’t understand why people moan about being
overweight but wont exercise. I replied by saying that
they don’t have the correct mindset. You might think
that they just lack the correct information but if they
had the proper motivation then they would find it.
Nothing can stop someone that has a powerful mindset.
People like this will always find a way no matter what
obstacles they face. People that don’t lose weight have
formed associations and habits that have taken control
of their life and stopped them.
How do you get the correct
mindset?
Developing the correct
mindset is not an instant change. It will take time and
constant and conscious awareness. By this I mean you
will have to regularly monitor your progress and
behavior. Sometimes it will be easy and others it will
require will power. On the good side there are
strategies and techniques that are easy to apply. Using
these techniques will give you motivation,
determination, commitment and make you emotionally
charged and driven to succeed. One such technique is the
power of goal setting. This is one important technique
that you could use to achieve your weight loss goals.
Below I have listed simple guidelines to follow when
goal setting.
· You have to write your
goals down.
· Your goals have to be specific.
· Your goals have to have a deadline.
· Your goals have to be measurable.
· Your goals have to be achievable.
· You have to focus on your goals everyday.
· You have to have emotion behind your goals.
The best way to set a weight
loss goal is to set more than one. Have one long-term
goal and then break it down into smaller goals. Make
some monthly and weekly goals.
You can only eat an elephant
a piece at a time. This is a very simple and basic
overview of goal setting. There are other strategies
involved that will make goal setting more efficient and
make you driven to succeed.
There are also other
techniques and strategies apart from goal setting which
will help you develop a powerful psychology including
controlling your focus, having a critical action plan,
forming new associations, developing new habits and
controlling you internal dialogue and self talk. This
might seem complicated and a bit overwhelming but the
techniques are simple and easy to use.
To lose weight you also need
a
nutrition plan
and it is also important and highly advised to have an
exercise routine. When obtaining a nutrition or exercise
plan you have to make sure that the information is
correct, suited for your needs and lifestyle,
individualized specifically for you and your goals, is
in your best interest and that the source of the
information is trustworthy and creditable. Information
is readily available, free and easy to obtain. However
not all of this information is correct and the best.
Make sure that you get your information from a
trustworthy source and that they have some type of
credentials or experience. If you can find this type of
free information that is great but you will usually have
to pay for it.
I wish you all the best with
your weight loss goals and I know that if you develop a
powerful psychology you will achieve your goals and
success will be yours. So aim high, push the limits
become all that you want to be and live the life that
you want and deserve. We are not given the gift of
dreams without the power to achieve them. I highly
advise you to now take action and do something towards
helping you achieve your weight loss goals. The sooner
you start the sooner you will lose the weight. If you do
not take action now to achieving your goals and
developing a powerful psychology then you will put more
weight on and not live the better quality of life that
you deserve. TAKE ACTION NOW!! Do some goal setting, get
some information or give me an email just do something.
Thank you for reading this
and once again I wish you all the best. If you have any
questions or want any advice then feel free to contact
me.
