Weight Loss without Worry

A guest post by Kevin Graham from Empower Me Photo!

It pains me to see people work so hard at diet and exercise to lose weight.   Not that those areas are not important.  In fact, consuming less and expending more is basically the only way to lose weight.  However, the painful part is that people work at it.  It does not have to be that way.  It can be a joyous and soothing journey.  I know that sounds ridiculous but it really can be a joyous and soothing process.

Have you ever heard someone say that they never worked a day in their life?  It is usually someone that has had great success and there is no question that they have tolled (probably long and hard) and typically had gone through great sacrifice.  So why do they say that they have never worked a day in their life?  It is because of their mental state.  They have found out how to leverage their subconscious mind by controlling their conscious mind.

The mere term conscious mind connotates control, doesn’t it? The average human has 30,000-50,000 thoughts per day (conscious thoughts).  But how many of those are we actively controlling?  A tenth if we are lucky.  The challenge with most people is that they spend everyday dwelling on the same thoughts – and those are too often worry and fear.  Day after day after day.

Now I have just been talking about our lack of command of our conscious mind.  The subconscious mind is a whole other matter.  It can go where we want it to go by simply documenting our goals.  If you know what you want, your subconscious mind is already plotting a course to get you there.  That is how we are wired.

So take control of your conscious mind, know your goals, embrace the feelings and emotions around achieving those goals and stay focused.  Success is your destiny!

Many experts feel that our subconscious makes up ¾’s of our total cognitive capability.  And it is very powerful.  Take a quick mental journey with me and imagine only for a minute that you just gave a powerful speech in front of 50,000 people packed into your local stadium.

Come on, no one is watching so take a few seconds and enjoy the dream.  You see yourself in a beautiful outfit, hair perfect, big smile, the crowd listening to every word as you deliver a passionate message about your favorite topic.  The crowd is all yours as you wrap up and make your closing comment.  As soon as you say, thank you, they erupt into cheers and applause.  Are you with me?  Can you hear them getting louder and louder as you smile widely and soak it in for a moment before exiting the stage?

If you truly just took that mental journey, then you felt the goose bumps and sheer excitement building inside.  And the reason why you experienced that is because your subconscious mind does not know the difference between reality and fantasy.  As your body filled with excitement, your subconscious mind felt it was real.

And as those realities build inside the subconscious mind, the mind believes that is who you are and it works to make that part of your future.  The same is true with Weight Loss.  If you have a strong vision of who you are going to become and you allow that dream to soak in every day – your mind (conscious and subconscious) will EMPOWER you to make the necessary changes so that the new you becomes a reality.

Get a strong vision of who you will become and let your subconscious mind guide you through the journey.  Enjoy the journey and Let The Vision Empower You!
