"Part 3" How to Write Out Your Fitness Goals

THE SCIENCE OF GOAL ACHIEVEMENT

A Three Part Series

3/3

Here's why goal-affirmation statements need to be written and read in such a certain way:

Your subconscious mind takes everything literally - to a degree of subtlety that probably not one in ten thousand people understand. The subconscious accepts commands most easily when they are given in the present tense, personal, positive format and when they are read and visualized repeatedly with faith, emotion, gratitude and an already-having-received attitude (and especially when you're in a physically relaxed state). When a suggestion is accepted by your subconscious, this sets your body into

Motion and your automatic behaviors (habits) begin to change. When your behavior changes, your results begin to change!

Be open and do what I suggest. Write out your goal card! Read it at least twice a day - morning and night. Read it more often if you can. Carry your goal card with you everywhere you go. Keep it in your pocket at all times. Feel naked without it. Any time you have a spare moment - at a stoplight, waiting for an appointment, while you eat breakfast, heck, even when you go to the bathroom - reach into your pocket and pull out your goal card. Every time you read it or even touch it, think about your goal and visualize the end result you desire. Flash the picture of you at your perfect weight with your ideal body onto the screen of your mind. See yourself the way you ultimately want to look. Imagine that you're already there. Then watch it happen! It will and it must, for that is the law of your mind.

Did you know that the average person sees, hears or is exposed in some way to as many as 30,000 commercial messages per day? Television, radio, magazine and billboard ads literally "brainwash" your mind to win market share (also known as "share of mind"). If I ask you to name a cola, what comes to mind? "Coke" is what most people would say, and the rest say "Pepsi." You may not use these products, but you've certainly heard of them. Why? Because the advertising has achieved its objective: Share of mind. The frequent advertising has penetrated your subconscious. Not only that, but because you thought of Coke or Pepsi FIRST in that product category (and not some generic brand), these companies have achieved a LARGE share of mind, also known as "top of mind" in advertising lingo. When "top of mind" is achieved, you are much more likely to take action and purchase that product.

What if you achieved the same thing - "top of mind" - with your goals? What if you saturated your mind and penetrated your subconscious deeply and effectively by doing some "goal advertising?" As Fortune 500 companies have learned, repetition is one of the surest ways to penetrate the subconscious and move a person into action. Your mind is an amazingly powerful goal-achieving super-computer, but it’s a lot like a parachute – it only works if it’s open. Have an open mind and give these methods an honest trial. Use a goal card for 90 days, then write to me and let me know what happens.

Use the example provided above to help you. Take the time to re-read this section more than once so you get an understanding how important goal setting & affirmations are. Be sure to always state your goals in the present moment! Don’t hesitate to email me if you need any further assistance in creating your goals!
