RISING WOMEN EXPERT ADVICE...
I’ve tried so many weight loss diets, but I just
don’t have the willpower to stick with it. What can I do?
The fact that you have difficulty sticking with it indicates that there may
be subconscious patterns or beliefs that are blocking your success. The
concept of “dieting” has connotations of deprivation which is not very
conducive to success. To change behaviour, we need to look at the part of
the mind that controls behaviour.
Our subconscious mind comprises 90 to 95% of our mind while the conscious
mind is only 5 to 10%. When people use willpower to accomplish a goal, they
are using the smaller portion of their mind that is very logical and linear.
Unfortunately, we are not just logical, linear thinking human beings. There
is a very large part of our make-up that is driven by our emotions and
sensory input. This includes past experiences, beliefs, perceptions,
assumptions and ideals. Our behaviour patterns are ruled by our subconscious
mind.
Using techniques that allow you to access the subconscious part of the mind
will bring the most success for changing a behaviour like eating. Because
eating has so many symbols attached to it and can equate to a variety of
meanings to different people such as being nurtured, rewarded, pacified,
calmed or used as a substitute for love, it is important to address what
eating means for you personally. When you can tap into the significance that
food holds for you and restructure your beliefs about it, then you will hold
the key to making significant and lasting change with eating habits and
lifestyle changes.
Many modalities can help with re-patterning behaviour. Techniques that slow
down your brain wave patterns that allow for a more direct line of
communication with the subconscious mind will help with addressing the root
of the pattern of eating behaviour imbalances. While in this relaxed state
using positive affirmations will help restructure your behaviour patterns.
By balancing both hemispheres of the brain, you can assist in removing
barriers to your success, changing beliefs about food and clearing the path
for a positive outcome. When you can address the subconscious behaviour with
a technique that accesses the subconscious part of the mind instead of just
the conscious part of the mind, it is much easier to achieve success.
