Weight Loss Secrets: Do You Know the Relationship Between Your Mind, Your Body and Losing Weight

The body is the physical form and machine that’s instructed daily by our dominant thoughts and actions. The body carries out actions based on directions from the conscious and subconscious mind. It’s the evidence of what’s held in the mind. 

For example, let’s say you decide you want to be a public speaker. If you are nervous and worried about saying something inappropriate or if you are concerned that someone will make fun of you, those thoughts will manifest in your body as sweaty palms and embarrassing stumbling of words. However, if you spend time imagining how positively your audience will respond, how articulate you’ll sound, and how energized you’ll feel, that will manifest in the body as well. You’ll be confident and filled with energy. Your audience can’t help but respond positively to you. 

When we intentionally change our thoughts to which we give the most focus and energy, and repeat these thoughts until they become desires, they are impressed on our subconscious mind and become our emotions. Our bodies put those emotions into action and our actions become our results.

How to Create the Paradigm Mindset Shift You Need to Lose Weight Now

A paradigm, which can be a habit, belief, attitude, pattern or expectation, gives you the guidance to interpret and approach the world around you. When you examine your paradigms around weight, you may find your current results aren’t what you want. 

Your objective of reaching your “ideal weight” is to move your conditioned results into alignment with what you want. For instance, let’s say you used to drink one glass of red wine every evening. But, to reach your ideal weight you have to change that to a glass of water with a lemon slice instead. This is a paradigm shift. 

We all know only too well what we have to do to be at our ideal weight. The problem is that we aren’t doing it! The secret to success is to gain an understanding of why we’re not doing it—what the primary cause of the problem is—and then correct it. 

Remember when you were growing up and your teacher or parent would say, “Why did you do that?” and you probably said, “I don’t know” and then your mom would say, “What do you mean you don’t know? You know you weren’t supposed to do that.” At that point, you dropped your head and would say “Yup, I know.” The crazy thing is that we still carry this silly, “I don’t know” concept into our adult life! 

We all do things we know we shouldn’t do—things we don’t want to do—and we do them anyway. We’re conditioned to believe that it’s our behavior that’s causing the unwanted results in our life. That’s really not true.  We’re forever attempting to change those behavior patterns: eat less, eliminate junk foods, and exercise more often—all without success. 

Millions of People Fail in Losing Weight Because They Fail to Change Their Mindset

There are millions of people in every country in the world going on different diets all the time to lose weight. These people aren’t trying to reach their “ideal weight.”  Their whole obsession is with “losing weight.”

There’s a dual problem with this.

First, they believe that food—eating the wrong food or eating too much food—is the primary cause of their problem, which isn’t true. Their eating habits are a secondary cause of their problem. It’s the primary cause that needs to be corrected if the results are going to permanently change.

Second, when you lose anything—it doesn’t matter what it is, from your car keys to those 20 pounds—you’re subconsciously programmed to immediately begin to look for it.  Unfortunately, when it comes to your weight loss, you usually find it because your focus is on losing weight rather than living at a healthy weight.

To experience any kind of lasting success with weight loss, you must address the primary cause of your problem, which stems from your thoughts and beliefs. Once you deal with the primary cause, you’ll find lsoing excess weight and keeping it off will be easier than ever.
