Losing Motivation?
The question is how do we keep our mind firm about losing weight. The answer to it is that we must be focused on the end goal we established when we began on the program. Suppose a person weighing two-hundred and fifty pounds desires to take his weight down to two hundred pounds,in order to remain motivated,he must stick to the commitment he originally made to drop his weight to two hundred pounds.
I strongly believe in using weight loss related mantras in order to stay motivated. Now the question is what is mantra.It is a constantly repeated saying which will affirm your goals until the mantra becomes a part your belief system. It may be called 'brainwashing', but for thousands of years this is the method which has been used in religion and in education to form strong belief systems and ingrain powerful and useful truths.In spare time I would advise you to constantly repeat the success mantra until it becomes such a part of your system that nothing could stop you from achieving the weight loss goal.
There is another power technique. It involves obtaining a picture of a body which would help representing what your goal is regarding appearance. Every day that picture should be looked at, and I instruct you to spend atleast half hour creating a mental picture of yourelves with this goal body. This technique is called visualization and if practiced with regularity will never fail to keep you motivated.
In order to achieve success in fitness program you must dedicate yourself totally in achieving your goals. Success can be achieved only when a person dedicates themselves unreservedly in the pursuit of their goal.Negative self talks should be strictly avoided; examples: "I have never been able to go more than two weeks on a weight loss diet," or "I will never lose weight," these statements are the exact opposite of the success mantra as defined previously in this article. Success mantras, if diligently practiced, will drown out this type of negative self talks. Negative self talks are considered the number one enemy of program success they must be overcome by diligent practice of the techniques mentioned in this article.
Success is a sure and certain if motivation is maintained and I hope the motivational techniques provided in this article will enable you to achieve success in your weight loss endeavor and keep you motivated.
