The Art of Managing Your Thinking

Lesson 9

The Art of Managing Your Thinking

Managing Your Thinking

Feel good about yourself.
Be positive, patient and realistic.
Combat negative self talk. Replace it with positive words of encouragement.
If you believe in yourself, then others will too. It is just that simple.

Self-Affirmation

When you make an affirmation, you declare that what you are saying is true. You are making a commitment to yourself. It is important to remember that affirmations require hard work. Just making the affirmation is not enough. You need to follow through on the actions that will make that affirmation a reality.

Affirmations can be very powerful tools in attaining long term weight loss. The affirmations you make to yourself are crucial elements to the success of the HM&N program. Think carefully and devise several affirmations that you believe in.

You might try. I deserve to be thin! or I have the power to be thin! Notice that self affirmations begin with that very important pronoun, I. You alone can create self-affirmations. You alone can live up to them.

Say It Over and Over Again

Once you have several affirmations, the next step is repeating them, over and over and over again. Perhaps you think this is boring, or a waste of time. Perhaps you think if you repeat the same affirmation over and over it will have no meaning. On the contrary, when you repeat something over a course of time, you make it your own.

You will find that, as you repeat a well thought out affirmation time and time again, something exciting and fascinating begins to happen. You find yourself believing it! It is this constant process of repetition that gives affirmations their power to help you as you change for the better.
You will also discover that affirmations you make affect not only your weight management program but other areas of your life as well. You may well find that having the power to control what you eat will help you to find within yourself the power to do many things you have been longing to do.

Start the Process Now!

Say to yourself: I will follow my affirmations because they make me feel good about myself!
