  Every thought you have about your weight and health has made you the way you are today. Your career, your relationships, your health…are all a direct result of your past thinking. If you look in the mirror and think “I’m fat,” then you are sending this message directly to your subconscious and thus you will be fat. If you are constantly thinking, “I need to lose weight,” then you will constantly be in the state of needing to lose more weight.

Affirmations can help you jump-start your weight-loss goals. Affirmations are your own words or phrases of encouragement to yourself. You can use these anytime you feel low energy, negativity, the urge to overeat, or skip your workout etc.

Your affirmations or mantras must be in the present tense. Instead of saying “I will lose weight and be fit in one month,” say “I am losing more weight every day.” Always say your mantras as if they are in the present, not in the future or you will be constantly trying to get thin rather than just be thin.

Here are some positive affirmations you can give yourself during your weight loss journey. Repeat them every day.

“I am thin, healthy and beautiful.”

“I am beautiful exactly as I am.”

“I am thin and fit.”

“I am healthy and in shape.”

“I look and feel lighter everyday.”

“I enjoy being healthy.”

“I love the food that makes me thin.”

“My body is getting stronger, slimmer, and healthier every day.”

“My clothes fit perfectly on my thin new body.”

“I love my body.”

“It is easy to be healthy.”

Repeat your affirmations throughout the day. Even if it seems untrue at the time, keep repeating them. Be patient. Work on your mind. Your body will follow.

The secret of Successful People:

Do you know what the secret to every success is? Positive Thinking and Visualization. It is true that “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Ask any successful businessperson, actor or millionaire. They will tell you that this is the key to all their success.

The law of attraction is constantly in action. Whatever you think about you bring about. As long as you think you’re fat you will be fat. Think thin! Visualize yourself as the person you want to be and act as if you are that person. Write it out. Sing it. Photoshop your face on the body of a super model if you have to. But don’t stick it in a drawer. Look at it everyday. Hold that image in your mind. Your mind will tell your body to make it a reality!

  Apples promote weight loss, strengthen your immune system, aid in preventing cancer, lower cholesterol, prevent tooth decay, improve liver and lung function, are low in calories and taste great. So eat an apple everyday. Bored? Hungry? Tired? Eat an apple!

The point of this one is to add more fruits and vegetables to your diet if you want to lose weight. You can eat fruits and vegetables all day long and not get fat.

You should eat more fruits and vegetables than anything else when trying to lose weight. Make sure the fruits and vegetables you are eating are 100% organic. Fruits and vegetables grown conventionally are sprayed with herbicides and pesticides. When you eat these fruits and vegetables these poisonous toxins then go directly into your body. These toxins are then stored in your body fat making it harder for you to lose weight! So be sure to eat organic and don’t spoil your weight-loss efforts by putting toxins in.

Vegetables are low in fat, low in calories, provide us with fiber and give us extra energy. All these features help control weight effectively. Being low in calories enables us to eat lots of vegetables without consuming excess energy; the high fiber content also helps fill the stomach faster, limiting the total amount of food consumed. The vitamins in vegetables supply the body with the nutrients necessary to boost energy production within the muscle cells. This gives us a natural feeling of vitality and the energy to become more active, which in turn helps us to burn more calories every day.

Vegetables are also low in sodium so they help reduce water weight. Sodium is present in most processed foods, causing the body to retain water and hold onto extra weight. Eating more vegetables and less sodium helps control your weight more effectively.

The best fruits and vegetables (for weight loss) to integrate into your diet are:

Grapefruit: Helps to detoxify your liver, and the enzymes in it help you burn more fat.

Apples: Works as an appetite suppressant and helps maintain consistent blood sugar levels.

Carrots: Contain large amounts of beta-carotene, soluble fiber and vitamin A. Try making carrot ginger soup. It is delicious, filling and great for your body.

Lemons: Detoxifies the liver, aids in digestion and helps flush out toxins. Try adding lemon to your water every time you drink.

Blackberries: Low in calories, the insoluble fiber helps digestion and which helps eliminate toxins faster.

Bananas: With vitamin B and carbohydrates, bananas provide an extra energy boost. Great snack to have before a work-out!

  Imagine yourself wakening up every morning full of energy and ready for the challenges of the day. Lots of exciting things are happening and you manage them with success. You turn around the negative to the positive and with the positive you create balance and success within all areas. Would not this be wonderful?

This scenario could be yours, but the question is: Does your life look like this? Most likely most people would like to have a life like this, but the reality for many people is not as positive as the scenario above. A lot of people struggle with bad finances, bad health and bad relationships. How come?

No-one is born with a negative approach or negative thoughts of herself. However, when the years pass by, a lot of people create a negative pattern of thoughts that leads to negative feelings, which always leads to poor results. There is nothing wrong with that and it is pure naturally if you understand the law of cause and effect, where every effect has a cause and every cause has an effect.

The reason for that we think positively or negatively about ourselves and what we can accomplish is to a large extent shaped of what we have seen, experienced and heard as a child. If you have grown up surrounded by harmony, the chances that you have life balance are greater than what you would have had if you had grown up under tougher circumstances. Maybe it sounds unfair, and maybe it is, but you cannot change the past.

However, you can change what you think and feel about yourself now. What has been programmed in your past can be replaced with a new program where you get positive results, all according to the law of cause and effect.

How is this done? The first thing we need to do is to let go of the emotional connection to what causes poor results. To let go of everything that is negative and forgive those who might have done this. Not so much for their sake as for you to be able to be free from the strong bounds that creates your unwished results.

When you then feel free and released from the negative, it is time to program your brain with your dream scenario with assistance of new messages, for example:

1. I love myself

2. I am running a successful business

3. I have many excellent relationships

Read your sentences 10 times each morning and evening during three weeks and continue thereafter with new positive sentences that you want to experience. This will become you new cause and the results will be positive and totally different from your previous results.

  If you have been told, or worse still, firmly hold the belief that making money has to do with talent and outside circumstances, you are betting on the wrong horse. What’s more, your failure in the world of making money is almost certainly guaranteed, particularly in today’s tough environment. The pre-suppositions of talent, luck and the like are old wife’s tales and hold no truth what so ever. In fact, scientific evidence points into a very different direction.

Recent scientific studies show clear evidence that only around 20percent of our so called talents are inherited. Environmental factors, such as geopathic stress and EMR, electro magnetic radiation, may play a much larger role in your ability to make money and further success in other areas of your life too.

Quantum physics explains how particles of an observed object change with the observer. And there are the famous water experiments by Masaru Emoto that show that water molecules change with our emotions.

It is beyond the scope of this article to go into all these findings in detail, suffice it to say though that there is abundant evidence that our thoughts literally make our world. Success in life is not directly dictated by outside circumstances, as many of us believe, but your outside circumstances are attracted to you through your thinking.

In other words: You will always get what you focus on and how you focus dictates the results you are getting in your life. This simple statement is naturally true of your financial situation as well.

Successful people have always known about the number one of manifestation principles and know how to apply their mind to get what they want.

It has never been more important than today to learn and understand these principles and practice them each day to become a master at using them. This is your guarantee that will see you through an extended bear market which is likely to run for several years yet.

So, where do you start? In order to focus on a desired outcome you need to be able to notice how your mind works. The technique of witnessing your thoughts and feelings is also referred to as witnessing. When you learn to become the witness of your thoughts and actions you are beginning to expand your cognitive awareness. Expanding your cognitive awareness is the key to focusing correctly. After all you can only change something if you are aware of it. And, you need to learn when to recognise when you are not focusing correctly.

There are many techniques that can help you to learn disciplined mind focus. Mediation is a great tool, alas many of us do not have the time for extended meditation practice. The next best thing are mental energy techniques which are combined with meridian stimulation. Micro EFT is such a technique and possibly one of the easiest to use and incorporate seamlessly into your daily routine. It only takes seconds to use and, provided it is used regularly, it is incredibly powerful and effective.

If you are familiar with energy techniques, you may have already heard of EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique. Micro EFT is an adaptation of EFT and uses regular micro stimulus to create macro results, similar to homeopathy. Instead of taking drops of some essence several times a day, you use mental stimulus several times during the day to train your mind and release unwanted thought patterns. Neutralising unwanted emotions clears the mind and lets you see how you are doing things that stop you from realising your goals.

I cannot stress enough, in times when the world is changing and the old ways we took for granted have stop working, we must grow and learn new ways of adjusting to these changes in order to survive. True changes always comes from within, it is never out there. So, work on yourself and learn to direct your mind correctly and unleash the many talents you have.
