Scott Schwab:
We have talked many times how the physical act of doing anything is first accomplished with a decision to act (mentally). I wanted to cover this as we are getting into the next 8 week challenge. We would love for everyone to enter and have success with every goal that they choose. The greatest part to the challenge is you. It would not matter if we wrote out a specific plan for everyone, if you have not made the decision, you will not accomplish the task no matter how beneficial.
There is a book that I just became familiar with called the Ant and the Elephant. The author speaks about how many neurons in the brain get to work, when a thought is consciously made and how much a subconscious thought generates. The science is staggering. Conscious thoughts generate about 2000 neurons per thought. Subconscious on the other hand generates 4 billion neurons. The difference exists in the power of mind. If you are a believer in what you believe you will achieve, then spend the time visualizing what you want most.
However, I also am not naive enough to know that you cannot think yourself skinny. The trick is what you spend your time believing. So often people talk themselves down. Being your own worst critic is not a powerful thing. It is debilitating. Study after study, shows how a person perceives themselves in thought, is generally how that person is physically. Tell yourself how talented you are, how beautiful you are, and do it in front of the mirror. More importantly believe it!
Action:
Self affirmations as some call it, is taking time in the morning and at night and tell yourself what you want to achieve and more importantly what you want to be. Visualization is a process of actually picturing what you desire. Picture what you want and be very detailed. What you will wear, the route you will take, the responses you will give and also the responses you expect to get back. It may be out there for some, but it really works. Another aspect is creating visuals that you can see.
The process:
The process can be done by hanging things up on a board where you will see them. Many people have goal boards or charts to track their vision. Setting goals and keeping them in sight throughout the day. My personal favorite is getting a dry erase marker and putting your goals on your mirror. Every night and morning it is the first and last thing I see. Give it a try and let us know what you think. Also if you have tried any of these methods or have feedback, leave us a comment.
