It is widely accepted in sports that 90% of success lies in the mind. This principle applies to almost every aspect of life, and weight loss is no exception. Many people decide over the weekend to start their diet on Monday, and when Monday comes, they are "good" for the first few hours... until their resolve weakens, and that slice of toast or piece of cake becomes increasingly tempting in their mind, making it irresistible. If this scenario sounds familiar, you realize something isn't quite right; this approach isn't working for you. So, the question arises: what different approach can be taken? From a psychologist's perspective, this method addresses weight loss in entirely the wrong way. In trying to be "good" and avoiding certain foods, you immediately trigger an unintentional desire for exactly what you're planning not to have. You need to understand how your mind operates so that you can make it work for you instead of against you. Let me explain further. If I tell you now to try as hard as you can NOT to think about an orange Volkswagen Beetle, what pops into your mind? I'll bet you saw an orange car. So if I say don't think about carrot cake, what do you see? Or don't think about a glass of wine, what did you visualize? Do you see what I mean? Whenever you attempt not to do something, this effort creates a reverse effect, and you get a vivid image of precisely that thing. And the harder you try, the bigger, more powerful, and more enticing that image becomes. This is why diets started on Mondays tend to last an ever-shorter time. Your internal images grow larger and more compelling. This simultaneously undermines your confidence in your ability to succeed. The first time you tried dieting, you probably did fairly well, but as your confidence and commitment waned, your success diminished. To lose weight successfully, you must have confidence in your ability to succeed and the capacity to visualize what you want to see. These are two crucial mental ingredients for success. Another key ingredient is the ability to identify pure habits and modify them. Habits are those sequences of behavior that occur automatically, without conscious thought, like brushing your teeth or tying your shoelaces. A habit is something you don't consciously think about but is driven by subconscious thought processes. Thus, you MUST access your subconscious mind to change habitual behavior related to food. Once again, this is a mental ingredient, though not consciously so. With hypnosis, you can access the inner workings of your mind. Just as the use of hypnosis is now widely accepted as essential in sports, it is also crucial for successful weight loss. Hypnosis allows you to break the cycle of negative effects caused by old habits and instead triggers a series of positive new behaviors that will soon become just as habitual to you. You can instantly obtain hypnosis weight loss downloads at home and begin retraining your mind to lose weight and achieve your ideal weight. Just as athletes learn to think like winners, you will learn to think like a slim person. Mental rehearsal is more important in sports than physical practice. This is a fact that has been proven. Mental rehearsal is also more critical in your successful weight loss. Unless you learn to see yourself as thin, you will keep seeing that carrot cake or those burgers, and these images will remain alluring to you. As you listen to hypnosis weight loss downloads, you will eliminate these images; they will lose their appeal and cease to tantalize you altogether. Instead, you will retrain your mind to visualize powerful images of success. Just as a golfer must learn to visualize winning the Open, or a tennis player visualizes winning Wimbledon, you will quickly learn to visualize a super, healthy, and happy version of yourself. In this way, you will be 90% of the way to achieving successful and long-term weight loss.
