Fast Natural Weight Loss - Ideas Considered
Celebrities and the wealthy often write an account of what led to their success. The one thing they all say is they didn’t focus on negatives - despite many coming their way. That is the way of the world; to achieve in life we must allow positive affirmations of why ‘we can’ to flood our consciousness, and drown out all the reasons why we can’t.
For people who are on a slimming diet, this attitude to weight loss is the key. You can only do it if you think you can! An optimistic approach brings about all sorts of opportunities to achieve. It throws up possibilities we might not previously have thought of. A pessimistic approach though does the opposite.
We all have an automatic ‘device’ in our brains, known as our reticular activation system. This system is responsible for everything we focus on. We become familiar with many things over time that don’t continue to stay in the forefront of our minds - as we store all our previous experiences in the sub conscious bit, or the back so to speak.
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. But the sub-conscious can only return what it originally was given. So if it received negative information, it will send negative back.
We have an element of control over this. Successful people have generally worked on their attitude and restricted the amount of negative being stored. Thus we can see that our RAS is a terrific ‘tool’ for goal achievement, for the subconscious can’t differentiate between a real or imagined positive experience.
As a result, we should build a precise illustration in our head of the results we want to achieve. The Reticular Activation System will then pass this on to our subconscious. As it believes everything it’s told, it will then help us achieve the goal. This is done by bringing to our notice all the meaningful information which might otherwise have just been ‘background noise’.
Napoleon Hill once wrote that we can attain any reasonable goal if we keep it clearly in our mind. That’s as long as we don’t allow any negative thoughts about it. Naturally, if we’ve bombarded our thinking with negative and defeat, we can expect exactly that.
