Here are a series of articles on programming your mind for success. In this first article, we are going to discover how to say no on the foods that you don't want to have!
Do you sometimes regret why you took that roti canai, nasi briyani or that cheese cake? Do you feel bad after that? Do you see yourself saying things like, I will not do this again but see yourself doing it again and again and again.
If this keeps happening, you are sure to lose this mental game. When you lose this mental game, your weight will sure to go up and by no time you will join the millions of others who suffer from overweight and obesity.
To assist you on how to take control of your mind here is a tip.. Don't tell your mind what you don't want, rather tell it want you do want.
If you go to a restaurant and when you have a look at the menu and then go,
I can't have this, I can't have that. When you say you can't have, the mind still excepts it has can have. The reason to that is that 'The mind doesn't understand the word NO'.
So, when you say you can't have an ice cream, you are actually telling your mind to consider an ice cream because the brain can't digest the word 'can't'.
When you say you can't have that carbonated beverage you are telling your mind to consider the carbonated beverage.
Rather than saying to yourself what you don't want, you have to tell yourself what you do want.
So rather than saying you don't want an ice cream, you should say I do want an apple.
Rather than saying you don't want a carbonated beverage, you should say I do want a freshly blended fruit juice.
What you are doing is that you are redirecting your mind on what is not healthy to what is healthy.
When the mind is 'healthy' and strong, it can effect the body to be strong and healthy too.
Try it now and experience changes instantly. Have fun.
Get Moving!
