Goal Setting and Weight Loss

Goal setting and weight loss are almost made for each other.
In this section I will share with you how all successful people achieve their goals, so you can adapt it to your weight loss plan.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SETTING A GOAL (OUTCOMES)

How can you hit a target you can’t see? Luck might get you there but you stand more of a chance if you have a clear written down outcome or goal. In fact, the human brain is one of the most effective goal seekers in the world. Give it a proper target to aim for and just like a laser guided missile, it will hit the target.

HOW TO PROGRAM YOUR MIND TO ACHIEVE ANY GOAL

So how can you really program your mind to help you achieve your goal. I will now share with you the steps to achieve any goal. They must be done in this order for it to work. I suggest reading these through first, then scheduling an hour or two to quietly write out the answers in your journal.

Have a purpose

The first stage of formulating a goal is to find your motives, as we described before. I would suggest that you go no further until you have a clear positive WHY for your goal. For example living a healthy long life. The longer the time frame the better.

State the goal in a positive way

State the actual weight, percentage fat and/or size you will become by what date. For example, by 14th December 2014 I will weigh 11 stone and 7 pounds exactly. Write it down somewhere. This gives the unconscious mind a clear command.

What will it look like when you have achieved the goal

Similar to the above question, but this is to get you to steer towards what the actual evidence will be, when you reach the goal. For example on 14th of December 2014 I will weigh myself and the scales will read 11’7”.

What is your present situation

What is your current weight, measurement or percentage fat. It is so important to know where you are now.

Specify the goal as if it’s happening now

What can you see, hear or feel? Make it compelling. “I can feel the cold scales on my feet as I stand on them, I hear the click of the dial and as I look down I am delighted to see that the reading is 11’7’’ I punch the air with delight’’.
