It’s this that lead to me becoming so passionate about helping people shift in this area of weight loss, because I think many people are needlessly stuck and struggling.  Let me invite you to look at this notion of being stuck a bit differently too.  Being seemingly stuck (for example, “nothing seems to work, I can’t seem to make any real progress”, or “I always find myself back where I started or worse”) – is really the result of using ineffective strategies to try and change behaviour.

One of the general areas you are likely going wrong is trying to change behaviour without changing the programmes that run the behaviour.

Here’s another way to think about your so called  “stuckness”……

If you look at your results and you let that then determine how you think and believe about it, then you are stuck.  Because it’s a self-perpetuating cycle isn’t it?

So, if you believe it’s hard to lose weight for example (and you are likely to harbour that belief because you have tried and it hasn’t seemingly worked yet), then really through that belief (and the perceiving and thinking that come with that belief) you are inadvertently setting your whole system up to prove that to be true on a daily basis.

So, as the picture above illustrates, you will tend to “see through those eyes” you will be unconsciously filtering information and essentially be alerted to all the things that let you know that it is indeed hard to lose weight.

Realize that as soon as you say something is hard, immediately when you frame it that way in your mind-you view it that way – you have then actually set yourself up to experience it that way.   

So people who come to me and say “yeah, but it is hard! I prove it every day!”  Well, I’m here to tell you right now, that you are really continuing to get that result BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT YOU BELIEVE.  You are setting yourself up for it.  Until you shift at that level and you change your mind-set, no matter what diet you try, what exercise programme you get involved in, you are going to end up in the same place because that is how your system works.

Brain fact: One of the brains biggest responsibilities is to make your external experience match your internal experience or in other words – “what you hold in mind”.  This might be something new and it’s quite big to give to you at this stage, but again, when you know where to go, you can get that very power that’s working against you, working for you.  And that’s the good news!

The first step then is to realize that this is going on and that you MUST change what you believe …

Next you’ll want to find effective ways to change those faulty and limiting beliefs – the ones that won’t let you go forward and undermine all your best efforts to lose weight.

The cool thing about that is that your beliefs are not as real or as solid as they feel.  So it’s easier than you think to shift them and in fact there are actually multiple ways to do that…..

We’ll address these all important things if you stay tuned as obviously these are key to moving from frustration to freedom in fact this stuff is at the heart of a new book I’ll be releasing within the next couple of weeks too – so keep your eyes out for that.

Would love to hear your comments on this and on what you feel is keeping you stuck – so I can address that too
