Man on a Diet: Vincent Tells All - Part 5
At last...the part we've all been waiting for *winks at Vin* - Part 5 of the great Vincent dieting saga!
HELP FROM WITHIN
Whilst we all appreciate help from Friends and Family in our quest to lose weight - it's all too easy to forget that we have our own little helper - who works day and night tirelessly on our behalf - at no charge to us whatsoever!! We ALL have it.. whether we think so or not - we all use it every second of every day..every single thought we have gets stored in it....
Hands up all those who think I'm referring to the MEMORY? WRONG!
However (and now the Story really starts) it needs to be given orders so it can turn our desires into reality. It's called the subconscious mind [Subconscious —adj. of the part of the mind which is not fully conscious but influences actions etc. Oxford English Dictionary]
It's that little "voice" that tells us we should or shouldn't (depending on what orders we've given it) eat those delicious Cream Cakes or whatever!! Remember "Think champagne and you'll drink champagne" ? Thinking about your DESIRE to lose weight and all the advantages that follow is priming (ordering) your subconscious mind by autosuggestion. The Decision is yours... YOU can prime it with positive or negative thoughts - so if you keep telling yourself you'll never lose weight - YOU NEVER WILL!!!
If you are an Observing person, you must have noticed that most people resort to Prayer only after everything else has failed! Because everything else has failed they pray with Fear and Doubt - which are the emotions (orders) that the subconscious mind acts upon.
In other words, If you pray for something but have fear as you pray that you won't receive it - your prayer will have been in vain! If you have the joyful experience of receiving that which you prayed for - go back in your Memory and recall yourstate of mind while you were praying - I bet it was POSITIVE!! :)
So YOU have the power to fill your subconscious mind with positively directed thoughts that bring you WHATEVER YOU WANT in Life.... First thing in the Morning and last thing at Night... think positive thoughts about your weight loss and how you will achieve it!
So remember, your subconscious mind feeds upon random thoughts - Thoughts of DEFEAT or Thoughts of SUCCESS.
THE CHOICE IS YOURS
The results can make or break you. "It is only possible if you think it's possible " So harness your subconscious as a very important weapon in your Armoury... One that has no hidden agenda and is entirely on YOUR side.
NOBODY CAN THINK FOR YOU - NOBODY CAN ACT FOR YOU - NOBODY CAN SUCCEED FOR YOU - *BUT YOURSELF*
Give it a try - it works!
