21 Days To A Better You

by: Jeanne Angel St.Cyr

   How you see yourself in your mind is what you are going to manifest in your life. You will always rise above your own perceived expectations. How do see yourself? Are you a positive, outgoing individual? Or are you a quiet little mouse hiding in the corner afraid of the future?

  You have control over your mind and emotions, simply put you have the power already inside you to determine which path your life will follow. You can reprogram your mind through meditations, positive thoughts, and saying or writing out positive affirmations. The word affirmations means to make true. What do you want to change in your life?

   Make a list. Number your list in order of importance to you. Decide what one thing you want to work on. Only one goal or dream at a time, so as not to overload yourself. It has been said that it takes only 21 days to make or break a habit. You could be only 21 days from your greatest successes! How great would that be? You may feel that you have a long way to go, but look back at how far you've already come?

   I quote from my book, "Inspirations", page 36: "Don't stay locked away in a prison of remorse, of things done or not done, of choices made or not made. Let yourself be free and enjoy a brand new beginning!" And on the very next page, page 37, it says: "Now is the time. Do not delay. No more excuses, just start now!" On page 49, I quote: "If you don't take action on your dreams and ideas, how can you expect to manifest success? You must take the 1st step, no one else can do it for you! Your never too old and it's never too late to start. Seize the moment, and take that 1st step!

The Weight loss Mind Set

  

  Exercise is always a do-it-yourself venture. No other person and no machine can do it for you. Maintaining motivation is the key to success if you want to reach your goal. 

  This is what people who are overweight should learn to understand. However, even if it so easy to set instructions and easy to follow, this is not the same case for almost 35% of Americans who are unable to prevent being overweight.

  Of course, once we are overweight, we usually want to trim down for a whole lot of reasons, some related to physical condition and fitness, while others would want to enhance their physique and appearance. And it is never too late to be fit.

  In the past 50 to 75 years, physical activity has become the exception rather than the rule, both at home and on the job. People tend to drive where others once walked. People tend to flick a switch and machines do the hauling, lifting, pushing, and pulling for them.

  However, people who try to lose weight tend to believe that weight gain is likely to happen if they do not take forward-looking steps to stop it.

  The point here is that health experts believe that people lose their way, especially when it comes to dieting. They tend to go back to their old eating habits even after they learn to enjoy low-fat eating. They tend to return to sedentary ways even though they enjoy exercising.

  But despite the momentum toward weight gain, you can stop it from happening, experts say. And there are plenty of good reasons to avoid excess pounds, reasons that go beyond vanity or social appearance. There are many reasons in order to keep you motivated to exercise and stay healthy for the rest of your life.

      Ways to Lose Big

1. Have an explicit goal

  A simple statement like, "I want to lose some weight," is an ambiguous and indefinite statement. It will not the least motivate you to start doing exercises right away.

  What is important is to be precise about your goals. It would be better if you would set some detailed number of pounds that you really want to lose. Envisage yourself what you will look like after reaching your desired weight. Doing this will inspire you to lose weight. In fact, maybe even more than what you have planned in mind. The idea is to use that figure to assist you to remain resilient and dedicated.

2. Develop a strategy

  Strength of will does not work alone! To lose weight and stay with it, your strategy must comprise both exercise and diet and not either of the two.

  Try to start motivating yourself by throwing away your clothes that have bigger sizes. This will put you in a situation where you only have your sexy clothes and you have to make a choice by staying motivated to exercise or not wear any clothes at all. Which do you prefer?

3. Make out little, calculable measures

  Put into practice actions that will suit your lifestyle. This means you have to implement moves that you and you alone will benefit from it and not somebody else.

  The idea here is to opt for a more positive and attainable goal and not just to shun away from being plump and chubby.

4. Produce monitoring that has an important effect

  It would be better to have somebody willing to take note of your progress or development. This will inspire you to keep on doing what you have started. Having somebody to listen to your achievements is definitely a better prize than just achieving your goal alone.

  Besides, having an extra hand to support you and cheer for you when things start to fall short. It is that simple way of hearing somebody believe in what you do is one of the greatest motivations to keep you exercising for more.

5. Construct a vigorous, sensible timeline

  What do you plan to achieve in a year? Try to suit your objectives to your calendar, and do not look forward to seeing the results in just a snap.

  The bottom line is that in order to stay motivated exercise entails a lot of hard work, which is contrary to what most people tend to think. The main idea is to let people change their lifestyle because it is only through this way that they will absolutely change their weight…for the better.

  Think healthy, stay fit!
