“So, tell me what you want, what you really really want…” The Spice Girls told us if we really want, we have to give. And thats exactly my sentiments for this article. If you really really want something, say, a six-pack, then you have to give something. What do you have to give? Hard work. Why do you have to give it? Because you wanna six-pack. Do you really want it? No, you really REALLY want it. And how are you going to give it? You’re going to start with your mind.
You’ve just walked past a mirror. You do one of those double-looks because you don’t really recognise the person you just saw. It looked a littled like you, but 20 years old and twice the size. “Is that really me?” You go back for a closer look and find that it is indeed, you. Something has just happened in your mind. You’ve realised what you look like. You don’t like it. You suddenly start planning what you’re going to do to change.
You might not realise what you’ve just thought about, but it happened. A seed was planted and took root. Now, in your mind, you look nothing like you want to look. You’ve suddenly made a decision to change whether you realise it or not.
While that decision was subconscious, the next has to be conscious. You have to choose to act on that initial decision. Yes you want to change, but are you prepared to fight with everything you have to get what you’re aiming for? Well, if you aren’t, then stop reading. No weight loss or muscle gain will happen if you are not prepared to work for it. I’m afraid nothing comes easy.
It is all in the mind. Your mind. If you want change, then you have to do something about it. If you don’t do anything, nothing will change. Every day you need to remind yourself of your goals. When you wake up, repeat your goal aloud. When you go to sleep, repeat your goal.
Your goal needs to be on the forefront of your mind every day. Especially at meal times. You need to be visualizing your goal in order for it to be accomplished! Sound wishy washy? Well maybe, but if you don’t really really want it and don’t really really work for it, then you really really aren’t going to get it!
So let this be a motivational tool for you. Make yourself a goal. Write it down and put it by your bed. Put it on your bathroom mirror, your steering wheel, your cell phone. Have your goal scroll across your computer screen when its on standby. Memorise it and repeat it day after day until you reach that goal. If its well and truly in your mind, then you will be a winner, no matter the goal!
