How many times have you heard people say, “The diet starts tomorrow”?

I’m reminded of a story I heard about a pub in England that has a sign up over the bar that says, “Free Beer Tomorrow!”  Do you know that not once have they ever given away a free beer?

When you’re really committed to change, why wait?  When you have finally seen the future of what it’s going to be like when you’re thin, beautiful and fit, why on earth would you want to defer the start? When your health and fitness have risen to the point that you’re committed to take action, why would you put that day off?

Hmm. Perhaps I just hit upon something.

I suggest that most people who have the idea that they’ll “lose some weight” are operating out of their “shoulds”.  “I should lose some weight.”  “I should drop some of this fat before my high school reunion.”  I further posit that they probably won’t do it, even though they “should.”

How much different would it be for you to create an image of your ideal self: thin, beautiful and fit?  Step into that image and see what you’ll see then; hear what you’ll hear then; and feel what you’ll feel then.  When you’ve activated your senses on your own behalf, there will be a sense of anticipation so strong that you won’t want to wait to get started.  Why wait until Monday, when you can start losing weight today?

One of the best tools for enhancing that vision of your future self is hypnosis.  When you are in trance, you can create all the sensations of your future with such clarity that you won’t want to wait until Monday — or New Year’s Day — or whatever.

In every case of delay, there’s the underlying issue of stress.  You know, “should I?” or “shouldn’t I?”  Don’t let stress be a factor for you.  Go here to eliminate stress from the picture.

What does your inner world look like?  Is it gloomy?  Sad? Stressed? Anxious? Depressed? Or worse?  Or is it cheery?  Light? Happy? Optimistic? Or even brighter than that?

Admittedly, the outside world can be a scary place.  Every time we turn around there seems to be bad news, worse news, and even more horrible news.  The television, radio, magazines and newspapers shove negative stories down our throats.  They thrive on conflict, incivility, and scandal.

That’s why I don’t watch television or listen to the radio or read the newspaper (well, except for the comics.  I love Pearls Before Swine and Get Fuzzy.)  I don’t like people whom I don’t know cramming my head full of their negative talk. My attitude has no place for negativity.

A couple of years ago I found myself face to face with some of the most challenging things I’ve ever had to deal with personally and financially.  And I stumbled upon a cool little secret: if I waited for everything to be exactly right in my personal and financial life before I could be happy, then there was a good chance that I’d never be happy.  However, if I was able to be happy in the moment and bring that inner happiness to bear on my current circumstances, I’d have more resources available to clear up my personal and financial situations. I created a new positive mindset for myself and I haven’t looked back.

To do this, I unplugged the television and started reading like mad.  I went even further and started listening to self-hypnosis programs to rework some of that “stinkin’ thinkin’” in my unconscious mind.  The change in attitude that came about gave me the confidence to take action to clear up my personal and financial troubles.
