You might be wondering what this have to do with weight loss. I want to tell you that it is my opinion that is has more to do with weight loss than we can imagine.
I have written in a previous blog that weight loss starts in the mind. You get it right in the mind, then the reality will follow.
What I have been gathering from talking to numerous people, they feel it is easier said than easy done. This may be an absolute reality for them. What I am finding more and more is that a majority of the people I talk with have no self discipline. They simply have no control over their own mind. What so alarming is, they are not aware of it. It is like they do things unconsciously and that is what I contribute it to, being unconscious.
Let me explain how I gained some what control over my own mind. I say some what because, it is a daily battle. But, when you practice daily, you will be ready on game day.
I am not going to give you the history of how I discovered this, I will at some time in the future. But, for now, I will get straight to the how.
The Bible tell us in Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The emphasis here is on Be Still.
What I have come to realize is that by being still (letting go of everything) you can become objective to your thoughts and emotions. It is like the real you sit and watch thoughts arise. This will take some practicing but, the objective is to not get caught up in the thoughts that arise, just observe them. If you find yourself caught up in a thought don't get alarmed just bring your attention back to the movie canvas inside your mind, or what I do is become very aware of my body, like feeling the blood flowing to my hands and feet. When a thought arises and I notice I have gotten caught up, I just turn my attention back to observing my body.
What this exercise does is help you become aware of the present. The Now as some call it. Take some time and try it. Just simply sit in an upright position, in a quite location. You can let you hands hang by your side or place them on your thighs. Close your eyes and simply let everything go. Stare into the canvas of your mind. It will seem as if you are looking through the center of your forehead. Try it for 10 to 15 minutes.
I practice keeping my mind in the Now at all times. What you can do also is, practice becoming very aware of your present surroundings. If you are in a room, become very aware of what is in that room. When the thoughts arise and you realize they have, do not be frustrated, just gently bring your conscious back to the present.
What I have realized is that there is a part of us that war against us, if we allow it, at every turn we make. If you start to notice your thoughts in this manner, you will start to see that the thoughts that arise before you master this arises from a part of human beings that I call the Ego nature. The Ego nature only tries to make you emotionalize past events and worry about preconceived outcomes of future events. F.E.A.R. False Evidence Appearing Real. Stay in the Now, overcome fear, overcome negative emotions.
Now, how all this ties into weight loss? Weight loss is a desired result or a destination of accomplishment. When you start the course toward you destination there will be obstacles that will try to alter your course. If you do not have the self discipline to stay on course your efforts will be foiled and you will go through an emotional roller coaster. By getting control over your mind this way you will start to dictate what thoughts you allow. You will eliminate stress, stay on course and reach your destination.
This does not only apply to weight loss, you can reach your desire regardless of what that desire is.
