Do you wish you could change something about your life right now?
Most people believe that change has to be worked at for months or even years. We expect to try and fail numerous times before we ultimately give up or succeed. How many people do you know who struggle with their weight? They want to make a healthy change by getting in shape, but the change never seems to take hold.
Is there something in your life that you want to change? Do you have weight to lose? Do you want to give up smoking or alcohol? Do you have a favourite bikini you want to fit into this Summer? Or do you need to get into a consistent exercise routine?
What’s keeping you from making a positive change in your life?
According to Anthony Robbins, it’s the getting ready to change that takes time. In the end there’s a single instant when the change occurs. Robbins says there are 3 specific beliefs that you must have in order to instantly create a lasting change.
Belief #1: SOMETHING MUST CHANGE
Do you sort of want to get into shape, or do you absolutely have to lose the weight? Does dropping a few kg’s sound nice, or is living another day in your current body unbearable? In order to make a lasting change you must be convinced that the time has come.
Belief #2: I MUST CHANGE IT
It is vital that you take full responsibility in making the change. Sure we can help you get there by mapping out the way, but in the end you are the one who is going to make it happen. You have to need this change enough to make it your personal mission, no one else will do it for you.
Belief #3: I CAN CHANGE IT
Don’t let past failures get in your way. The truth is that you do amazing things when you put your mind to it. Believe that you are capable of losing weight or making any other positive change in your life.
Why do most people fail to make lasting change? They leave it up to willpower. This works for a while, but you’ll always revert back to what’s comfortable.
So the solution is, CHANGE WHAT YOU’RE COMFORTABLE WITH!
You’ve probably heard that humans are motivated by two things: 1) to avoid pain and 2) to gain pleasure. When you want to change a behaviour pattern the key is to associate pain with the behaviour that you don’t want and pleasure with the behaviour that you do want.
You know that you want to lose weight and that to do so you need to quit eating comfort food late at night. You also know that you need to start exercising on a regular basis. Up until this point your brain is trained to associate pleasure with eating comfort food late at night and to associate pain with exercise.
It’s time to retrain your brain to feel good about exercise and to feel bad about eating late at night. Think about all of the negative things about being overweight and connect these unpleasant thoughts to your late night snack. Now think about all of the wonderful things about being in shape and connect these pleasant thoughts to exercise.
