What is the #1 Secret To Being as Lean and Healthy as you want to be. YOUR DESIRE
Desire is the fuel that rockets you toward your goal. With it, you can do anything; without it, your actions will be insipid.
It was desire that allowed the old woman to lift that car off of her child.
It was desire that gave Thomas Edison the fuel to continue experimenting with the invention of the light bulb after 10,000 experiments did not work.
When you want something badly enough, nothing–and I mean nothing–will stop you. You will make the time, summon the energy, ask for help, and be sure to prepare and carry out the actions.
There are many ways to increase desire. Included below are some of the most effective strategies for giving you the gusto to forge ahead no matter what. Identifying Your Goals–What Do You Want?
This is the million-dollar question.
It is vital that you identify your goal, the experience that you intend to create.
Without a specific, measurable goal, you won’t know if you are making progress .
You will not know if you have arrived.
You will flounder around going for a generality and not move an inch.
It is important that you state your intention in a form of what you want, rather than what you do not want. You picture what you focus on. If you focus on not wanting something, you’ll picture what you don’t want, and this will work against you. Make the Goals Exciting and a Little Scary.
If you want to improve, you must step out of your comfort zone. What sense does it make to keep living the same way? You don’t learn, you don’t grow, and you don’t improve.
The leading edge is where the excitement is! Make your goal a little edgy, a little out there, beyond what others may think is possible.
Go relentlessly for the gold instead of taking the safe (non growing) route which leads to boredom and stagnation. Why “Losing Weight” Is a Poor Phrase.
Your subconscious mind accepts only what you give it. It takes in what you picture. If you picture losing fat, what are you picturing? You are picturing fat.
But, if you picture your ideal body in clear, close, bright view and add enthusiasm to that image, your subconscious mind will do everything necessary to create the ideal situations for you and inspire you to take the actions necessary to fulfill your desired body.
So let go of the idea of losing weight. We have been programmed to believe that the word “lose” is negative. When you lose something, your subconscious wants to find it again.
Instead, focus on your masterpiece that you are creating. You are becoming your ideal person, with your ideal physique, living and feeling your best. Keep these thoughts and feelings and let all other thoughts and pictures float on by.
I am sure that Michelangelo did not focus on just losing some rock; he created his art with his end vision in mind. This is a great way for you to see your end sculpture, your lean, healthy physique.
