You've heard coaches talking to the team and saying that "Winning is 10% perspiration and 90% inspiration". Plainly put - If you don't see yourself winning the game before you start, you've already lost. Sure - you may be outmanned, outskilled and outplayed but underdogs come out and whip much tougher opponents all the time - because they SEE it happening.
Our lives are much the same. Whether we are about to take a performance review, meet with a new client in sales, interview for a new job or promotion or start a new project; our mental attitude going into it will greatly affect our effectiveness and overall performance.
So how do we get the right attitude? Life is tough sometimes. Bills to pay, family issues, job stress, doc says we need to lose weight and exercise more, one promotions slots and six others in the running...oh - did I forget the morning and evening commute?
Let's deal with the commute first. Turn off the radio. There is nothing important going on - your GPS or phone nav can guide you around any avoidable tie-ups, listening to the news channel makes your head want to explode and the music channels are mindless drivel - all with 60%+ ads to make you spend more. Listen to either some music (I recommend Sarah Brightman's 'Symphony' - I love her voice!) or a motivational/subliminal programs (Not brainwave entrainment if you are driving). If you attend a church or synagogue that has recordings of the sermons available, get one and listen again, you'll hear new things the second time around. Avoid loud, angry music or most rap - find something easy and life affirming.
At work, keep a subliminal program in the background or some music. Again - avoid the radio. Good subliminal choices at work might be Success Mindset, Staying Motivated, Managing Stress, or Managing Your Time.
What about the extra 30, 40 or 50 lbs you've put on over the years. I mean, after all, your spouse loves you regardless of the extra baggage and the reduction in frequency and quality of sex (and your desire and ability to perform) is only natural. What BS! I know - I was there. Make the decision to get back what you've lost.There are skinny 80 year olds in nursing homes having more and better sex than you. Almost 3 years ago we published Massive Weight Loss that provided a sustainable fat loss program for seriously overweight (over 20 pounds) people based on my own experiences in the fight to drop 100 lbs. We've recently completely revised the program, added a lot of content to the guide and included 4 more additional subliminal programs. See it here. Is it hard? At first it is but it gets easier fast. No being hungry, no special foods,; just more energy, a better body, heightened libido and lower blood pressure. Everything you need to win the mental battle and prepare for the physical battle. Did I mention that thin people make more money and get promoted faster than their overweight counterparts? Look at pictures of the Fortune 500 top execs - not many fat slobs there.
At home, Listen to Get Happy!. This is one our most successful programs and can change your whole outlook in just a few weeks. There is one track to listen to in the background all the time (including sleeping) and a seaparate one to listen to when you get up in the morning. That's right, no radio or TV - just a rehash of last night's 11 PM bad news. Don't listen to it - just gets you in a bad mood to start.
10% perpiration and 90% inspriation. Still takes getting off your butt and doing it but the mental battle can be a lot easier to win with a little help and some good choices.
