As we consider how our lives should be in the future, mental images pop into our heads. Perhaps we think of having a really good relationship, with more expensive holidays and a luxury home. It's probable we'll view our figure differently - with less body fat and a more toned physique.
Dreaming of these things tells us what we'd love to have in the next few years - which is a good way to fire up a goal plan. If we don't have an idea of how things will be when we've made it, the chances are we'll never get there.
Positive visualisation alone won't bring results though. We must accept that changes will be needed. "The definition of insanity," according to Albert Einstein, "is to do the same thing and expect different results." Said another way - we'll always have what we've always had if we're not prepared to change the things we do.
For big leaps forward in what we have, we need to make huge changes not only to the way we do things, but also (more importantly) to the way we think. So the right thought process and effort comes first, to achieve the results we want to have. We're familiar with the elementary truth that to get, we first have to give. But the rewards we want won't just turn up purely from doing the work.
To realise the things we want in our lives, we have to behave in a manner that suggests our goals are a done deal! If the objective is to drop four dress sizes in twelve months, then for a time we have to prioritise an exercise routine and pay attention to what we eat.
The exercise must take priority over fun with friends. Success dictates that reward will follow effort. Adopting a good mental attitude to the things that have to be done will result in much faster weight loss.
Victory won't come looking for us. A robust attitude to our efforts will support us when we experience the knocks.
Spending time reading books or watching films of how others achieved their goals can help. We come across the same story time after time; their attitude and self-image is what created the results. By focusing on becoming who we need to be, we'll enjoy the exertions we have to do more and receive the things we want to have so much faster.
