If you’re in a position where you’ve done everything you can to lose weight, but nothing seems to work, or you’ve been successful in losing weight but unsuccessful in keeping it off, the issue or culprit that’s holding you back could lie with the power of your mind.
It’s true. We often don’t realize it, but the power of the mind is, well, powerful. And it’s important to be aware and mindful of this, because it can truly hold the key to helping us to achieve success in any area of our life, including weight loss!
Why?
Whether We Think We Can or We Think We Can’t, We’re Right.As Henry Ford, the founder and former owner of Ford Motor Co., once said in not so many words, whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right, meaning that if you think you can achieve something, you can, but if you doubt or think you can’t, then you most likely won’t achieve your goal. That’s the power of the mind. So it’s very important that you believe and think you CAN lose weight (and you can!).
Negative thoughts bring about negative results, and vice versa. If you’re negative all of the time, then you’ll get negative results, or more negativity, in your life, which means a more challenging time losing weight. If you step back and observe, you’ll notice that the negative people often attract more negative people, places and things, where positive people attract positive people, places and things. Our goal is the latter to help with weight loss (or any goal in life), so focus on positive thoughts and surround yourself with genuinely positive people.
The right mindset helps with clarity of goals. By focusing on shifting your mindset to attract natural weight loss into your life, it will also make it easier to get clear on what your goals truly are around weight loss and healthy living. And the clearer you are on your goals, the easier it is to achieve them. But if you are of a negative mindset, and always talking down about yourself, it makes getting clear on your goals more challenging, because quite frankly, it’s harder to care about life and weight loss when you’re coming from an unhealthy place. Again, we want weight loss to be as easy as possible, so we need a good mindset for clarity around our goals so we are clear on the life we want-which is a happy and healthy one!
The truth is, losing weight can be challenging for many, so why make it harder than it has to be? Adjusting your mindset to ensure you’re attracting positive results, as stated above, is a crucial step in achieving your weight loss goals (and sticking to them!). And weight loss can be enjoyable when approaching it from this “mindset”.
