Reaching your goal...

When you have a goal that you want to reach, whether it be from losing weight to buying a house or a new car, you will attain what you want when you live out your goal and make it a part of your everyday life. You want to make it come true...

A great way to do this is to cut out a picture of of the car you want and post it places where you spend most of your time. Make it real, make it believable, make it become possible for you to get what you want and reach your goal. See yourself making the necessary changes to get that car, visualize it, feel it out, price it out.

It works the same way for losing weight, if you have a certain amount of weight you want to lose, write the amount of weight you desire to lose or write down your ideal weight. Then post pictures of someone at this ideal weight, or if you have been at this weight before, print out pictures of yourself at this weight and post them up around your house, in your car, on your refrigerator.

Live your goal and seek it out! EXPERIENCE SUCCESS!!! Live, act, feel, and believe :)

Self Limiting Beliefs...

I was recently talking to some of my family members about how they doubt themselves, which inadvertently puts them in negative frames of mind, and can result in the loss of jobs, denial, depression, etc.

In this blog post, which is going to be different than many of my other posts, I am going to be addressing, in my opinion, as to why we have self limiting beliefs, and how to get over them.

You see, it is very easy for people to form negative attitudes about a goal that they have in their lives. These negative attitudes can come from change, doubt, other people, and can lead to failure, brought on by the person harboring these negative beliefs.

In stead of taking on a task that may be a challenge, we may tend to stray away from that challenge and harbor doubt in our mind that we can do it. For example, when it comes to weight loss, it is easy to develop an attitude and frame of mind that says "I have tried to lose weight before, and I failed, so why would this time be any different?" This will hinder our performance to obtaining and attaining our goal.

SO! How do we stray from these self limiting beliefs, how do we keep ourselves fresh and able to accomplish new things? It is very easy, we do this by developing the RIGHT MENTAL ATTITUDE about out goal or the completion of our goal. We use positive self talk such as "I am doing this" and we start to think, act, and feel like the successful person that we want to become! Develop the right mental attitude and realize that you can do ANYTHING that you set your mind to as long as it is in the realm of human possibility. Failure is sometimes part of our journey, but use it as a lesson. Learn from it, and move on to new and better things.
