Exercise programs, routines, and diets all fail for the same reason. They are too one dimensional. They focus on things you need to physically do. This is easy to understand, in theory, because it sounds so simple- do this, get that.
True change occurs in a different manner. If you transform your mind, you can transform your body, or anything else you would like. Consistency creates change. Lifestyle changes lives.
A diet, routine, or program implies that you will be doing some thing for a little while. You go off and on. A lifestyle implies something quite differently-consistency. Consistency is what makes a program or diet successful. A program or diet alone is nothing.
To succeed, you must focus on the person you want to BE, not the things you want to have. Exercising is not a verb, but a way of life. The same thing goes for healthy eating.
In goal setting sessions, I teach people the word BEHAVE. BE always comes before HAVE. Most people make the fatal mistake on focusing on what they want to have. Focusing on the things you have to DO is a little bit better, because your focus in now on actions instead of outcomes. But the best result comes from the focusing on focusing on the person you want to BE.
To succeed in anything you must BE the person who is consistent, intense, and intelligent. Work on seeing yourself as this person.
Create a list of the way you would like to be. Read this list daily until you have it memorized. Then switch to reviewing the list several times a week. Remember, you need mental reps for success. Train your brain.
