Fresh Insights – Easily Lose Weight Now
We love to read books and magazine articles about how the rich acquired their wealth. From footballers to business magnates, their stories have a common theme. They overcame the problems that came their way by maintaining an optimistic outlook. That’s how it is; life’s achievers allow positive reasons why ‘they can’ to fill their minds, and ignore negative reasons why they can’t.
So if you’re dieting, develop a positive approach to losing the pounds. To complete a diet successfully, the biggest asset a person can have is a positive mindset. A positive approach opens up all sorts of possibilities. Answers will come to us when our minds are open. By contrast, a pessimistic outlook blocks our receptors and thwarts our progress.
We all have an automatic ‘device’ in our brains, known as our reticular activation system. This system is responsible for everything we focus on. Throughout our lives, we’ve experienced many things that move away from the forefront of our minds – most of our ‘knowledge’ base is stored in our sub-conscious.
When we attempt to do something, our RAS (Reticular Activation System) will search for anything of significance in the sub-conscious mind, and bring it to our attention. If we’re taking a walk for example, only the things that have meaning to us will be noticed.
So if our conscious mind has regularly been transferring up-beat, positive messages to our sub-conscious mind, then that’s what will come back. And yet the reverse is true when our sub conscious has been bombarded with negative.
It seems that achievers are able to manipulate the messages filtered through to their sub-conscious minds. By deliberately programming their RAS, they choose the exact messages the conscious mind sends. So as the sub-conscious doesn’t know what’s actually real, the RAS can be a great tool for realising ambitions.
Accordingly, we must consciously focus on a positive representation of our ideal target. Then our RAS will transfer it to our sub conscious mind, and help us meet our goals. All because the positive, meaningful material is brought into focus, and not left ‘lost’ in the background.
Napoleon Hill said that we can achieve any (realistic) goal if we keep on thinking of that goal, and don’t think any negative thoughts about it. Of course, if we keep thinking that we can’t achieve a goal, our subconscious will help us not to achieve it.
