What’s Your Meaning?
Through my work as a hypnotherapist, I have come to realise that if we make our goals as compelling as possible for the subconscious mind, then it will help us to get to where we want to go. To do this we need to give that deep, powerful part of our mind a very clear idea of what we want.
When I am working with clients, one of the first things I get them to do is to visualise how they will look when they are the weight they want to be. This is very important in itself, as it gives the subconscious a wonderful image of where you want to be. However, to take this a step further, you need to really get in touch with how it will be for you when you are the weight you want to be and what that will mean to you.
So, how do you do this? Well, I'd encourage you to think about the following areas:
- How will you feel when you're the weight you want to be? Often women know that they will feel more confident, happier with themselves, more relaxed.
- How will the way you behave change, both socially and at work? Maybe you will feel a greater sense of freedom and this means you will act differently?
- Think about the impact your weight loss will have on your relationships, particularly your children if are a mother. Clients often say this is a big incentive to adopt a healthier relationship with food, in order to be an inspiration to their children and their loved ones.
- How will being the weight you want to be make a difference to the clothes you wear? This is something that virtually every woman I work with mentions, being able to wear what they want and not feel restricted.
- How you will your weight loss affect your health and fitness levels? Imagine how it will be to experience a new sense of vitality and energy.
This is why I love working with weight loss, because I have seen over the years that it's not just about the physical changes. In fact, often this is only a small part of what happens to my clients. Losing weight has a huge impact on all areas of their lives.
If you are trying to lose weight, or make any sort of lifestyle change, take some time to think about the difference it will make in all of the above categories. Go through each point and write down what your weight loss will mean to you in as much detail as possible.
If you are a particularly visual person, then perhaps you could create a vision board which shows the impact in all areas of your life.
Have fun and start to get excited about what you are moving towards!
Once you have done this, it will be like you've created a 3D image of your future and your subconscious will know exactly where you are heading and how amazing it's going to be. And do you know what? It will start finding ways to get you there, without you even thinking about it.
Amazing eh?
