Mind Set 6 Forget About Will Power

What’s one of the first obstacles your mind brings up when you consider embarking on developing a new healthy habit?

“I don’t have enough will power to:

Eat vegetables

Find out if I have food allergies

Walk around the block every day

Take a few supplements twice per day

Do whatever it takes to convert my body from a toxic waste dump to a clean, lean machine

Or whatever it is that involves change.”

Let’s get rid of that defeating mind set right now!

You are in charge of your will. Period.

So take charge right now by erasing that negative self talk! Speak what is true and valuable for you.

You want health don’t you? You want to be lean don’t you?

Then speak health:

I will eat healthy food because I enjoy it.

I will enjoy walking around the block every day as a starting point. Then I am eager to increase the distance I walk. I love setting new attainable goals and achieving them on a regular basis.

I will take supplements twice a day to rebuild my tissues and my glands because that makes me feel so much better and rebuilds my body. Then weight loss becomes an automatic side effect of all my great healthy habits.

I will do what it takes to rid myself of this toxic waste that I’m carrying around. It never belonged to my body and it’s got to go. I want to feel clean and to think clearly and positively. This toxic junk is defeated right now.

Yeah for you. That’s the right attitude.

And I will tell you some secrets right now.

Secret #1:

After you’ve incorporated healthy life-giving food into your eating plan, your desire for that old junk death food will go away.

Honestly, I was a sugarholic. But I stopped eating sweets years ago. Now my mind thinks of sweets as poisons (which they are). I cringe when I see people eating sweets because I know how they slowly, subtly, and deceivingly destroy their bodies.

And I love eating fresh whole raw colorful vegetables with every meal. In fact, I would rather not eat out at breakfast time because most restaurants do not serve vegetables for breakfast.

That’s what you can look forward to. Your mind comes under discipline and conviction when it realizes how rotten that old junk death food makes you feel. Then it cooperates in your health-building journey by recognizing that whole healthy food is so delicious and nutritious. And it makes you feel alive, clean and ready to really enjoy your life.

Do the healthy things and the cravings that drag you down and defeat you will go away.

Secret #2:

Exercise becomes fun too. You may have to use your will power (remember – you’re in charge) for the first few months to stick with your program.

After that your muscles will crave exercise if you slack off. Once again your mind will become cooperative and say, “Let’s get out there and move. I love the way I feel when we’re moving! It’s like a self-massage.”

Yeah! Now your body and your mind are working together.

Good for you. You are an overcomer! You can do this.
