That’s a lot of thinking time that could be used for your own good or for bad. Positive or negative. Your life parallels your thoughts, you attract into your life the things you think about most.
If you continually think I’ll always be heavy - you will always be heavy.
If you think I never have enough money - you will never have enough money.
If you think my life sucks, it will suck – until you change your mind.
The people you know who have what you would consider abundance, have that because they knew in their minds what they wanted and they went for it. They suppressed all doubts and went all out, worked hard, and achieved the goals they had set.
Here’s an example:
I have started every diet on the planet. And most started the same way I’d spend a week planning preparing buy the ‘right’ allowed foods. This time was different I was going to do it finally. I eat all the junk I could stand over the weekend because on Monday I was going to change. Then Monday would come and by the time breakfast was over I was already wondering what the crap was I thinking I can’t do this it’s too hard. Sometimes I’d give up right then, sometime I’d continue on for a few days all the while feeling down and telling myself over and over that this just wasn’t worth it. Needless to say I never lost anything of any significance.
Then I changed my plan – I just started. I changed my thoughts to “I can do this”; “I’m in the process of being healthy” and I never let doubts stay in my mind I send them packing and immediately think a good positive thought. As for my ‘diet’ I just started eating one healthy meal a day, one more glass of water and a short walk. Gradually I add something else to my day. Slowly I’m liking myself better even though I’m not yet the size I’d like to be. Another tip each day you get on the scale you cement the ‘heavy’ number into your mind. My scale has my goal weight taped on it. Sound funny? Maybe….but I just tried on a smaller size pants and while I’m not ready to wear them just yet I’m closer than I ever have been.
One more tip. Throw out clothing that is too big for you, especially as you lose the weight and need smaller clothes. Keeping them is a doubt in your mind that you might need them again. Get rid of all doubts – they are what’s keeping you from reaching your goal.
Back to thinking positive. If you are not happy with your life change your thinking and start thinking like you would in a better life. Surround yourself with people living the life you dream of. You’ll discover that they are just like you, only thing is they overcame their doubts. This is not a gimmick you can live an abundant life, you can be the person you always wanted to be. You just have to get rid of the doubts.
I know what my thoughts were growing up, and even just a few years ago. And I remember how I felt about life. I also know what I think about today and how much different my life is. Your mind is such a powerful resource and it’s free use it wisely. It doesn’t cost you any more to think positive as it does to think negative. It does require training, but that training is free.
