Did you know that your mind is so powerful it can actually heal you! When you are positive you are powerful and then you are amazing! Studies show that some positive people have such powerful minds that they can actually heal themselves from illnesses. Of course it’s with the help of medicine and sometimes surgery. But the point is, negative people bring negative situations into their life and positive will bring positive.
A positive person anticipates happiness, health and success, and believes he or she can overcome any obstacle and difficulty. Health benefits that positive thinking may provide include:
– Increased life span
– Lower rates of depression
– Lower levels of distress
– Greater resistance to the common cold
– Better psychological and physical well-being
– Reduced risk of death
– Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress
– Weight loss
– Lower rates of depression
– Lower levels of distress
– Greater resistance to the common cold
– Better psychological and physical well-being
– Reduced risk of death
– Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress
– Weight loss
That’s right – weight loss! Of course the examples above are all important, but the key I want you to focus on is that your mind is so powerful that when you want something enough and you are positive about it you can talk yourself into it. If you are positive and really want to lose weight you can talk yourself into not being hungry. You can talk yourself into being thin! If you don’t believe it – then you are being negative 🙁
When you are positive you believe you are powerful. In fact, you believe you can do anything you set your mind to. If you want it, you can do it – It’s a way of life. Everyday you need to talk to yourself about being positive, and about living positive and most important, believing in yourself. We all know that being positive is a lot healthier than being negative. But did you know that you can actually train your brain to be positive? For some people, being positive is not as easy as it is for others. The power of positive thinking goes way behind just being happy. It is all about approaching life and the obstacles in it with a confident attitude. Facing the day with “I can do this!” because “I can do anything!”
How do you train the brain? You have to tell yourself everyday that this is your life and you can do anything and be the person you want to be. You have to believe that everything and anything is possible. You have to want to be happy and you have to want to be amazing everyday.
When my clients come in to my office I love to use the Eeyore and Tigger analogy:
EEYORE: When clients are not doing the right thing for themselves and they are eating the wrong foods and it makes them feel terrible – they come to me with their head down and they are a little sad and I call them “Eeyore”. I tell them that because they are not doing the right thing they are portraying to the world that they are down, sad, and mopey. Most of the time you don’t even realize that is how you are walking around. But when you are not happy, positive and confident…it’s shows.
TIGGER: When clients come in doing the right thing and eating the right food and losing weight and feeling great – they come in with a big “Hi!” and they are light on their feet, hopping around…they can’t wait to get on the scale. They are talking and telling me how great they have been following and all the wonderful things they have going on…They are my “Tigger”. They are happy and bubbly and it shows everywhere they go.
So what you have to think of now is who are you – Are you Eeyore or Tigger? But more importantly, who do you want to be…I would hope the answer is Tigger. Who doesn’t want to be happy and bubbly and healthy and feeling great. The only way you will feel great, happy, positive and powerful is when you are doing the right thing for your body and your mind. You have to wake up everyday wanting to be the best you can be. Loving the people around you and going out of your way to be happy for yourself and for them. You have to say No to the temptations and welcome the healthy foods you can have. You have to enjoy the exercise and love to be on a healthy path. Life is hard and it’s easy to get down on yourself. But if you are not in a good place today – with your weight, your job, a relationship – you are the only person who can change that. You are the only person who can make the changes in your life to be happy TO BE TIGGER! You are the only one who can become the person you want to be. Don’t sit around blaming everything around you – that’s negative. Be positive and start today and change what needs to be changed.
HOW DO YOU CHANGE IT: The best way to change anything is to have a plan. Write down what you want and what you want to accomplish. Give yourself a goal date. Then make little goals to reach the big goal and work each day to accomplish it.
EXAMPLE: If you want to lose 20 lbs by September 1.
– Write it down and have your program handy and how you are going to eat clean and healthy and the foods that work for you. – Plan what exercises you will do and on what days.- Then write little goals that will help you reach your big goal.
– For example: If you started today you want to take off 4 lbs by July 1st — and then 2 lbs every week until September 1 = 20 lbs
– I bet you are thinking right now -WOW! If I follow this I can lose 20 lbs by September 1! YES YOU CAN!
See, you are the only person who keeps getting in the way of what you really want. It’s not the food, it’s not anyone around you…It’s 110% you. Just like you are the only one who can make it happen you are also the only one who can stand in your own way and make it not happen. So, if you want to change your life in a positive way, start by being positive and happy. Today…right now…this moment…be happy about making positive changes. Wake up every day and follow your plan and reach your goal. Nothing amazing changes in a day. To become amazing – It takes hard work and a powerful and positive mind that includes perseverance and happiness.…..start one day at a time.
In a world where you can be anything
Be powerful & Positive
BE AMAZING!
