I want to remind you of a mistake I made before winning the Body For Life contest. For 8 years I had tried really hard to try and figure out the best ways to lose weight and get in shape. While I did discover quite a number of them, it wasn't until I put them all together, as a cohesive whole, that I was finally able to get my body to change. It was only the synergy of the combined "effective" methods that caused the massive change to happen in my body so quickly. So I'm going to remind you to do the same. As I go through these lessons, don't just read about them and try one here or there. PUT THEM ALL TOGETHER! This is the only way you're going to achieve massive results.
So here's a recap of your lessons so far:
Lesson 1: You Must Have a Powerful and Meaningful Reason To Want To Change
Don't forget, the greatest effect from these lessons will be their combined synergy. Now on to lesson 2.
Lesson #2: You Need to Make a DECISION to Change
So now that you have your reason(s) to change, now what? Next you must make that decision to change. What does this really mean? I'll tell you in a second. But the fact is it's one of the most powerful things you can do to push yourself beyond anything you could ever have imagined.
You could have all the goals in the world laid out in front of you but if you don't make a conscious decision with yourself, if you don't say something like,
"That's it, I'm making the decision right now, right here, today! I'm going to commit to changing my body and to do whatever it takes to get into the shape I want and have dreamed of forever",
then you haven't truly triggered your entire being to accept your decision to change. In fact, if you ask most people that have struggled for years trying to figure out the best ways to lose weight, they'll tell you that one day they just made a decision to lose the weight. Simple as that. They were usually sick and tired of looking and feeling like crap, and just said, "enough!"
When people make this kind of a decision, it triggers a cascade of psychological signals that causes tremendous and powerful mental processes to occur. New manners of thought that seemed totally foreign to you before will now seem as if they were second nature.
Where before you may have said,
"I just can't resist chocolate. I was born with a sweet tooth and there's not much I can do to change that", now you'll say, "I still love chocolate but there's something I'm doing now that is very important for me, more important than the fleeting taste of chocolate in my mouth. It's about creating the body and person I knew I always could have and be but never knew how...now I do."
Or some other similar self-talk.
Making that decision to change causes a mindset transformation that completely realigns your goals, wants, needs, and desires. You understand you won't have to give up chocolate completely, but you will curtail the amount you used to eat because it's no longer productive to your goals.
Because you now have more important reasons than chocolate and you made that decision to change, the seeming agony you used to experience by depriving yourself of your favorite food has now almost disappeared - replaced by a focused goal towards a betterment of your body.
You "suddenly" realize that the lasting feeling of an in shape body is MUCH better than the short-lived taste of chocolate in your mouth.
What will cause you to make this decision? The reasons are as varied as there are stars in the sky. The important thing is to find one.
