Guest guest Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 KEEP THE CHANGE! Wednesday, 18 January 2012 We're more than halfway through the first month of this new year. So let me ask, how're you doing with those resolutions you made just a couple of weeks ago? Have you gotten to work and now hard at work keeping the changes you promised to make? I know, making resolutions and keeping those changes going through the entire year are tough. But boy, are they ever worth it! Are you having trouble making the changes needed to keep your New Year's resolution to lose weight? Well, if you are, let me give you a few pointers. First of all... Changes begin on the inside. Changes begin on the inside. Use positive affirmations to help you stay focused on your goal. For example, say things everyday like this to yourself: I will be slim and fit. I am in control of my eating and it makes me feel good being in control. Exercise makes me feel so positive and it's a necessary part of my life...everyday! Be on the lookout for negative mental chatter. And I'm talking about the kind of chatter that goes on inside your own head. Much of it is subconscious and you may not even be aware of your own negativity. When a negative thought surfaces and enter your mind...cancel it with a positive affirmation. You'll be surprised how little effort it takes to keep your mind filled with positive thoughts. You just have to work at it! Visualize the changes you want to make in your life. Visualize the changes you want to make in your life. Close your eyes and create a mental picture of what you'll look like and how you'll feel after reaching your goal. Hold on to that vision as long as you can. Picture it! How will you look? How will you feel? How will others react to the new person you're creating? Visualize how the new you is literally going to change your life...for the better! Keep a journal and write in it everyday. Most changes take place slowly over time. By journaling, in the process, you'll learn more about yourself. You'll be able to go back in a few weeks or months, read your words and actually see the positive changes you're making in your life. Taking the time to record your thoughts and feelings in your journal is the perfect way to make and actually see the changes you're making in your life. You've got to work at making those changes everyday. The year is still young everybody. So you've got time to create that better, happier and healthier life for yourself. But remember, you've got to stay focused. You've got to work hard at making those changes everyday. And as you do, you'll see that you really were able to "keep the change"...going!
