Sometimes it is so hard to get fired up to do what we know we really want to do.? We get tired, life makes us weary, and we feel frustrated.
So, it’s time to trick yourself.? You must tell yourself thoughts that you may not even believe.?
You must put pictures into your mind to trick your brain and change your attitude.
Let me explain.
It can be really hard to stay on your chosen path sometimes.? You work hard and you feel as if you are making no progress.
You reach a plateau in your weight loss struggles, you feel stuck, or the novelty of the new exercise program has worn off.
You are trying to stay the course with some work issues, and you aren’t seeing the results yet anywhere that you look.
It’s time to lie to your brain.
Let me tell you how to use this trick this past year. I have a teen-age boy, and for those of you who have teenagers, perhaps all I need to say. For those who do not, let me explain.
Teenagers, and especially boys, go temporarily insane for awhile.? You do not recognize this person as the same child you raised.
The period of this madness is likely to continue anywhere from one to several years. This is a parent and child very frustrating time, and can be very difficult to keep in mind that you love this person, it is hard to remember, and sometimes you may even like this person.
So your attitude becomes one of wacko-parent and you find yourself saying and doing things you never expected to say or do.
Enter, attitude change.
I went through my photo album, and picked out pictures of my son with me, with my husband, and by himself.? All the pictures were of happy times.
I have some of the pictures and put them on the visor of my van so I could see them when I pulled him down. A picture in which he looked very cute, I have on my bedroom dresser. I distributed these pictures in my world, my office, the kitchen, the laundry room, and in my organizer.
Throughout my day, I would be reminded of how much I cared about him, and many times I found myself smiling at the picture.
I still got frustrated, but something about my attitude changed.? I became more patient, and in turn, he seemed more reasonable.?
He is a great child, and we survived, but I know that the brain "," deception is I need to do. My brain need to remember and tell me, I still love him.
You can use this idea in many ways.?
STATEMENTS write the results you want, because if you already have. Placed in front of you this, read during the day of.
And to think in different ways to draw my idea to use the photo. Cases, it is believed that this is not a problem now, and the negative messages that the brain continues to show what it has received different instructions.
Perhaps you can post a picture of clothing you are going to be able to wear when you reach your weight loss goal.
If the law is scheduled to go into exactly what the situation. Consider the goal as already achieved, and happy with his own feelings, let you feel the bank to its success.
Write out a statement telling yourself how happy you are with the results.? Look at this statement everyday.
Your brain will start feeling the emotions, and your experiences may begin to feel different to you.
Let your brain start working for you, instead of against you.? What a powerful comrade to have on your side!
“ …Attitude keeps me going or cripples my progress.? It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope.? When my attitudes are right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.”? -Charles R. Swindoll
