Commitment and Consistency - part 2
Use brain training to stop eating unhealthy sugary foods that give you an energy rush one minute, and leaves you feeling depleted half an hour later, try to learn how to change your diet. Plan it, and give yourself a reasonable timescale. They call it called cognitive dissonance or neuro linguistic programming, or self hypnosis, but it doesn’t really matter what its technical term is. It is about re-educating your brain. You can find all sorts of techniques to do this. You can make tapes and play them at night as you are going off to sleep, or you can self hypnotize yourself to be receptive to self instruction. You believe what your brain has been trained to believe. Lots of this training comes from you. Some of it from other people and what you hear. However, it is how you program the information that goes into the brain that matters. If you have always believed that you are worthless and incapable of doing anything worth while, you have to train your brain to accept new information. Tell your brain that you are clever, and perfectly capable, and can achieve great things. Believe me, your brain will believe it if you keep telling it that this is the case. If you keep telling yourself that you don’t like cakes, each time you have the urge to get to the fridge for a nice piece of chocolate cake, tell yourself ‘no! I don’t like cake’. Keep on doing this every time, every day, and after a week you will be surprised. Your brain will have ‘remembered’ that you don’t like cake, and your urges will go away. Similarly, we need to ensure that we drink lots of water, and get regular exercise. This way we are showing our commitment to our health, our potential and our well being. One other thing, and sometimes difficult to address, is the need to ensure we are not being held back or damaged by relationships or friendships that are just not right for us. This doesn’t mean that you need to just ditch your partner, and ‘lose’ your family. It does, however, mean that damaging relationships need to be addressed, carefully, and if necessary, changes need to happen. You need to have support, just as your family and friends will need your support. Balance is important here, as in all things. So your commitment to your self development is very important. If success doesn’t come as you expect it to, don’t give in. Keep going, keep working at it. Hand in hand with this commitment is consistency. Like all things, it is quite possible to train yourself to be consistent in your attitudes and behavior. It’s important to not only believe, but to put in the effort in a consistent manner. Doing your best for one day a week isn’t really going to do it for you. It’s very important to develop the right attitude, which means really that you have to ‘live’ your plan. Living your plan means taking everything you do seriously, and ensuring that you are doing your best. This doesn’t mean you don’t get to have time off - far from it. Some of the most successful people are successful in different areas of their lives. The trick is not to waste time or opportunity. When it’s time for recreation, make the most of that time by ensuring you really do enjoy this time and the activities you choose. When it’s time to spend together with family or friends, make the most of that time, and ensure your concentration is on the interaction with them, and not on something else. So living an authentic life, i.e., making decisions about how you live, how you spend your time, and how you behave with others are major steps towards ensuring you reach your potential. It is a foundation stone for your self development journey. |
