Two simple but incredibly powerful tricks you can start using today!
Just minutes from now you can re-program your mind and achieve any Fitness goal you ever imagined.
Why don't more people set goals? A mystery of life. Jim Rohn once said, "I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives.
Perhaps it's because escape is easier than change."
Five percent of the world sets written goals and succeeds. The other 95% refuse to set goals and they fail; it's as simple as that. There is a science to achieving goals.
If you want to be a success, it's your responsibility and duty to learn how your mind works and take conscious control over the programming that goes into your mental goal-achieving "super-computer" known as your subconscious mind.
Someone once said, "Success is setting goals.
Everything else is just commentary."
If you want to change your body and your life, but you're not getting the results you want, then you probably:
(A) didn't set goals at all,
(B) you set goals improperly (not working in harmony with your subconscious "computer"),
(C) you set goals, but lost sight of them (You lacked consistency and persistence), or
(D) you set goals, but didn't take efficient daily action.
GOAL CARD
Take your 12-week (90 day) goal - which is the primary goal you should focus the most attention on at any given time - and transfer it, in "affirmation" format, to a small goal card.
Use card stock, like an index card. If you have a laminator, then laminate it for longevity purposes because you're going to be handling it daily. You could also put it in a clear plastic credit card sleeve.
1) Start the goal card by writing your deadline at the top: For example: By August 15th (or whatever your deadline is). This is the only part of your goal card that is written in future tense, and it’s only for urgency, it's not part of your actual goal statement.
All goals must have deadlines because it's a psychological law that work always expands to fill the time allowed.
(2) Next, begin your goal affirmation statement by writing it in personal tense ("I")
(3) Continue writing your goal in present tense ("I AM")
(3)Write your goal with positive emotion ("I AM so happy")
(4) Write your goal with gratitude ("I AM so happy and thankful")
(5) Give added emphasis to personal and present tense ("I AM so happy and thankful now that I AM...")
(6) Finish by filling in the blank with your goal. The goal MUST be stated in the positive. In other words, you must write what you want to achieve, not what you want to avoid (how lean you want to be, not how much fat you want to get rid of). Be as clear and specific as possible and feel free to embellish and add as much additional emotion to your affirmation statement as possible. Ideally, when you read it, it should make a picture pop into your mind.
Here's why goal-affirmation statements need to be written and read in such a certain way:
Your subconscious mind takes everything literally - to a degree of subtlety that probably not one in ten thousand people understand.
The subconscious only accepts commands given to it in the present tense, personal, positive format and it accepts them most readily when read and visualized repeatedly with faith, emotion, gratitude and an already-having-received attitude - and especially when you're in a physically relaxed state. When the suggestion is accepted by your subconscious, this sets your body into motion and your automatic behaviors (habits) begin to change. When your behavior changes, your results begin to change. Be open and do what I suggest. Write out your goal card! Read it at least twice a day - morning and night. Read it more often if you can.
Carry your goal card with you everywhere you go. Keep it in your pocket at all times. Feel naked without it. Any time you have a spare moment - at a stoplight, waiting for an appointment, while you eat breakfast, heck, even when you go to the bathroom - reach into your pocket and pull out your goal card. Every time you read it or even touch it, think about your goal and visualize the end result you desire. Flash the picture of you at your perfect weight with your ideal body onto the screen of your mind.
See yourself the way you ultimately want to look.
Imagine that you're already there. Then watch it happen!
It will and it must, for that is the law of your mind.
