When you think about yourself, what do you see in your mind's eye? Is it flattering and complimentary? It is so important to create a positive self image in your mind. When you do this, your thoughts become kinder and more encouraging, and you gradually move closer and closer to how you want to be, feel, live and behave. Thoughts create our reality - this is so powerful - use it to your advantage. Train your mind work FOR you and not AGAINST you.
This is the last part of my mini weight loss series. For free audios to help you along your journey, you can send me a message on the website and I'll send you the links.

Now you're in the right space to be creating a realistic and doable plan. Don't jump in all at once - start slowly and alter your plan as the weeks go by! Once you see small changes starting to occur, your motivation will kick in and you'll be in flow and enthusiastic to keep going.

What would your future you say about the choices you're making today? Will they be happy or disappointed? Think of a time when you ate something and immediately regretted it after. Think about a time when you resisted. Which felt better? What can you do now to make your future self happy?

You wouldn't speak unkindly to someone else. You certainly wouldn't to a small child. It doesn't matter what a child does - we say 'wow! Well done! That's fantastic!' - and this is part of where their confidence comes from. They are curious to try new things without fear of humiliation or criticism. Imagine what you could do if you lived in this way too? Be your own biggest fan and watch how much easier it is to stick to your weight loss goals (or any others!).

What will life be like when you've lost weight? How will you feel? How will you look? What benefits will it bring? Give your subconscious mind something to aim for, and make it attractive! The more benefits you can put into your WHY, the more your unconscious mind will grab onto it and help you to get there!

Welcome to the Eden Wellness Podcast. I am your host, Laura McDonald. This is for anyone who wants to navigate  their mind with less struggle or frustration.  If you’ve ever wondered how some people manage to stick to a plan, a goal, a schedule, there are some key elements I’d like to share with you. I am a clinical hypnotherapist and coach, and here to encourage you to explore the inner workings of your mind and to untangle old, unhelpful beliefs and thought patterns that are in the way, or making it difficult, for you to be  and live as you want to. I want you to enjoy Getting to know yourself, understand yourself, and allow yourself to challenge areas of your mind that you would like to perhaps change, or to improve. I am a firm believer that if we have a healthy relationship with ourselves, so much else falls into place because we are on our own side. My aim is to inspire and motivate you to reach for your goals with confidence enthusiasm, and belief that you will succeed. I want you to be excited!

Feel free to head on over to my website, where you’ll find links to free meditation audios to help enhance your progress.
