“If you don’t believe that success is achievable for you, what
would motivate you to go for it?”
If a student believes
he/she is not smart or are not capable of making good grades, how much effort
will they put into the class work? Will
they be confident and attentive and put their time and energy into learning
with enthusiasm?
In contrast, consider
the motivation level of the student who believes he/she is smart and capable of
getting high grades, and believes that getting the good grades is beneficial
for them. How much effort will this student put into
class work?
“Beliefs open the door to excellence. Beliefs are prearranged, organized filters to
our perceptions of the world. Beliefs
are like the commanders of the brain. ” – Anthony Robbins
So if you want to be
fit and healthy, start by assessing your beliefs. Examine your beliefs related
to the goal. If you believe you will
just gain the weight back after taking it off, how motivated are you to take it
off – again?
Do you believe it is
possible for you to enjoy living your life healthy and fit? Do you believe you
can trust yourself to do what it takes?
Do you believe that you will maintain your new healthy lifestyle for the
rest of your life? The answers to these kinds of questions will give you clues
into your history of success or failure with your health goals.
If you don’t think your
positive change is possible, you may have occasionally made enough of an effort
to be able to tell yourself and others that you “tried”. If you level with yourself when you do that,
you know that you went part way to “validate” your existing belief that the
goal is impossible. You might say to
yourself or others, “I really tried even
though I didn’t think I could do it and I was right.” “It is hard to imagine my life healthy and
fit.”” I always gain the weight back again.”
If you don’t believe
that you can trust yourself to do what it takes, you have a little work to do
with your motivation strategies. You may
be thinking; ”It might work for other people but I can’t imagine that it would
work for me.” “It’s too much work.” “I can’t change.” “This is just the way I
am.” “I can’t do it because ________.”
One reason we ask people
to come in to Positive Change Institute for a free screening before accepting them as clients, is to assess
the negative programming they have in opposition to their goal so that we can
recommend a strategy for their success.
To be permanently successful, these old beliefs will be replaced with
new beliefs that support their true desire.
YOU CAN CLEAR UP
THIS DOUBT IN YOURSELF. Doubt is just
old programming that can be changed. You
deserve to be healthy and fit and you deserve to believe in yourself and in
your ability to reinvent your body and your life in a way that pleases
you. Begin by noticing the beliefs that
keep you stuck and pick some new beliefs you want to adopt that support you
better. You are part way there already
when you do this!
If you have old
negative beliefs or habits, consider hypnosis coaching to un-hypnotize yourself
from the old self defeating patterns and reprogram your subconscious mind with
more supportive beliefs and behavior patterns.
