Making a decision is a powerful process to achieve something. By not making a firm decision, you're just floating on the edges of any goal you want to achieve. Too many people who want to lose weight in a way he approaches undecided. They can say things like:
Should I try to lose weight
I'm trying to cut the bad food,
Maybe I should start exercising,
I could not join a gym,
Maybe try a new diet
I'll start a couple of weeks,
None of the above decisions are just fleeting thoughts, intentions, or at best weak, and frankly, it takes you nowhere. Take a final decision can be very powerful, because you make a commitment. Try this for yourself:
Tell yourself "I think I should lose weight and watch what happens in your mind. You may find that other thoughts are on what you said. These thoughts may go in the direction of:
It would be too hard
I have no time now
I have always failed in the past
I do not think I have the willpower,
I can not be bothered at the moment
When these ideas are grouped, you can eliminate the idea of losing weight like a hot potato, even if you can keep the back of some of the blame for giving up so easily.
Now you say "I will lose weight and to say with force and conviction. Now, what note in your mind? You can find that in this way makes the idea of being stronger. The negative thoughts that once seemed the weakest, are probably still there, but it seems more distant. This happens because when you make a decision, it gives a direct order from your mind and your mind has a firm instruction to follow instead of a vague thought or desire through the heart.
The next step is to write out 2 plans, plan A which is based on a decision that you will lose weight, and plan B which is based on a decision not to lose weight. You need to write out what each plan will offer you. Write out your own plans based on the example below.
Plan A
More Energy ,
Improved Health,
Higher Self Confidence,
Higher Self Esteem,
Feel and Look More Attractive,
Feel Happier about Yourself,
Plan B
Less Energy
Increasing Health Problems
Low Self Confidence
Low Self Esteem
Poorer Self Image
Feelings of Anxiety or Depression
Make your lists as long as possible and then imagine were you will be in 1, 3, and 5 year’s time with whichever plan that you decide to follow. Picture how you will look and feel in the future with whatever plan you choose.
Keep in mind that both plans are progressive, meaning that both plans will evolve and not stand still. Follow plan A and the benefits will increase. You’ll become more energetic, your health will continue to improve, your self confidence and self esteem will snowball. The fact is that the more you do of something, the better you will get at it and the easier it will become.
If you follow plan B you will not be in the same position that you are in now. Plan B will also evolve, your energy will continue to decrease, your health will get worse and you often find that one health problem leads to another and another. Your self confidence and self esteem will continue to drop.
At this point you have the choice as to which plan you will decide to follow. I’ve got no right to tell you which plan you should follow, that is your decision and nobody else’s. It’s all about what you really want for yourself. If you decide to go with plan B then there is not much more for you to do apart from stop reading. If you decide to go with plan A then you have already taken a major step towards losing weight just by making that decision.
Nothing ever gets done without some sort of decision first, the world is run on decisions, decisions lead to action, and it’s only by acting on something that we can achieve it.
Once you have made your decision, decide what actions you are going to take to reach your goal. Find out what you are going to do and how you are going to do it. Write out your plan and start following it; decide that you are committed to finishing what you have started. Don’t just sit and think about it, make your decision and be happy about it.
