It might seem like losing wait is something you have been trying your whole life to do and something that you have always been unsuccessful at. This might be true, but even as you get older, there are still things that you can do to lose the weight that might be unhealthy for you to have. There are lots of little things that will not only help you lose weight, but that will also benefit many aspects of your life.
First of all, try to get as much motion into your daily routine as you can. If you usually walk from your bedroom to your bathroom, try changing things so that you first walk downstairs, then back upstairs, then to the bathroom, then down stairs and upstairs again before you get to your bedroom. If you start adding trips up and down your stairs into many aspects of your daily routine, you aren't going to be taking that much more time, but you are going to be adding plenty of good movement to your daily life.
Also, If you drive to work, consider walking instead. If you have a long commute, and aren't able to walk, there are other things that you can do. Park the furthest away that you can park from your work, and walk there, even if this means leaving ten minutes early to allow yourself the time to get from your car to your work place. This might seem like extra work, but really it is a good way to allow yourself the time to get some good exercise in.
There are also things that you can do at work to make sure that you are getting a good amount of exercise. If you are able to, you might want to walk up the stairs instead of taking the elevator. Another important way is to walk two floors up to deliver a message, instead of sending an email.
If you usually get lunch delivered to your office, see if you can walk to pick it up instead. The same goes for coffee and snack breaks. If the snack machine is on the ground floor, take the stairs instead of the elevator. This is going to allow you to begin to put more motion into your life, and be much healthier in your entire life.
Remember, it is never too late to begin to put more movement into your life. It can only help you.
Believe it or not, almost effortless weight loss can be obtained by simply 1) writing, 2) speaking, and 3) feeling your goal daily. No kidding! Here's how to do it...
First of all, please be aware that your subconscious mind is 30,000 times more powerful than your conscious mind or willpower. It is where all lasting change occurs. For this reason, you'll mostly use your imagination as your playground since it accesses and affects your subconscious mind directly.
Step One:
Write down exactly what the end result will be when you're successful at weight loss:
A. At your end result, how much do you weigh? (Hint: What is your intuitive ideal weight?) B. How much time did it take you to get there? (Hint: Use your intuition and be realistic!) C. Imagine how it FEELS to have a body at this weight once again. (Hint: How great did it feel when you were at this weight before?)
Example affirmative goal:
"By (insert date), I have easily and safely done whatever is needed so that my weight is (insert realistic ideal weight). I feel (insert all positive feelings). I have easily achieved this or something better joyfully and in ways that are for the highest good of all concerned."
Write this paragraph out by hand every day. (Do not expect to get the same weight loss results by waiting for the 5th day and writing it 5 times - you must write it by hand at least once every day without skipping.)
Write your weight loss affirmation out slowly, neatly and with care, so that your subconscious mind gets the point that you are serious and taking the correct time and steps to achieve your goal.
Step Two:
When you're done writing it out by hand, speak your weight loss goal out loud, preferably in front a mirror looking into your own eyes.
Step Three:
Vividly recall at least three extremely positive experiences when you were at your ideal weight. Write down keywords that describe all the positive thoughts, emotions, and senses you experienced with each situation. (If you recall anything negative, simply leave it out.)
Keep writing until you've described the whole of your experience in as many senses, positive words or phrases as possible. As well as your emotions and positive thoughts, keep in mind your sense of hearing, tasting, smelling, seeing and touching.
Concentrate on each experience. ?Relive them by playing mental movies in your mind. Hear the sounds. See the colors. ?Smell the scents. ?Touch the objects in your surroundings. ?Feel all the positive feelings once again.
In your mind's eye, put this mental movie straight out in front of you and amplify every color, every feeling, every sound... Make the movie fill out the entire screen of your mind.
Repeat every morning upon awakening, and every night as you're falling asleep.
That's it! :-)
Don't make the mistake of thinking that this process is so simple that it won't work. In fact, I dare you to commit to this simple 3-step weight loss system for one whole week!
-- Your Consistent Thoughts Become Your Reality. -- You get what you focus on.
Repeated often enough, these actions will create a new conscious mental pattern that will:
A. Show up in your thinking first; then B. Become a part of the way you speak; and finally C. Almost without your awareness, will become your actions; and D. Your life experience.
