如果你相信它，它就會是真的

你的信念對你的生活方式影響可能比你認為的還要大：從你的體格尺寸，到你身材結實的程度，到你最常吃的食物 - 還有更多層面。

基本上，你生活中做或不做的每件事，都基於一套信念來支持行動。例如，你可能總是逃避運動，因為你不斷告訴自己你不喜歡運動。或是，你可能在童年期告訴過自己你不愛吃蔬菜。

質疑和檢視這些信念是很重要的，因為你可能發現它們一直在阻礙你達到你健康的目標。

每天花時間探索你對自己的信念、你的身體、你的健康、和每件其他和你當前目標相關的事。寫下你相信關於這些會成真的事。

你的清單看起來可能會像這樣：「減重好難，因為我的新陳代謝很慢。我沒辦法只靠低脂、低碳水化合物飲食減重。我遺傳我媽的基因，她跟我一樣過重。」

當你寫下這些，仔細想想它們，並思索其真實性。你在探究某些信念中或許會訝異自己原來被誤導或徹底錯誤了。

一旦你確定錯誤或受限的信念，開始對自己說一個新故事來轉變。畢竟，這是你現存的信念 - 這是你多年來告訴自己的故事。

你的新故事或許可以重寫成這樣：「我能吃美食和做讓我感覺良好的運動，來創造更纖細、健康的身體。對我來說，減重是正向、享受和簡單的過程。保持我的減重成果甚至會更容易，因為我在任何時刻都非常能了解我身體所需。」

當你改變你告訴自己的故事，你就在改變你的行為了，而且最終是改變你的結果！

今日的自我肯定：
我相信減重可以是簡單有趣的。

If You Believe It, It's True

Your beliefs have a lot more to do with your lifestyle than you may think; everything from your body size to your level of fitness to the types of food you eat most often - and more.

Basically, everything you do or don't do in life is based on a set of beliefs that support the actions. For example, you may have always avoided exercise because you kept telling yourself you didn't like it. Or you may have told yourself since childhood that you don't enjoy eating vegetables.

Questioning and examining these beliefs is important because you may find that they have been holding you back from achieving your health goals.

Spend time each day exploring your beliefs about yourself, your body, your health, and everything else related to your current goals. Write down what you believe to be true about these things.

Your list might look something like this: "It's hard for me to lose weight because I have a slow metabolism. I never lose weight on low fat diets, only low carb. I inherited my mother's genes; she's overweight just like me."

As you write these things down, think carefully about them and consider whether they are really true or not. You may be surprised to discover that some of these beliefs are misleading or downright false.

Once you identify a false or otherwise limiting belief, begin changing it by telling yourself a new story. After all, that's exactly what your existing beliefs are - stories you have been telling yourself for years!

Your new story might go something like this: "I can create a slender, healthy body by eating delicious foods and performing physical activities that feel good to me. For me, weight loss is a positive, enjoyable, easy process. Maintaining my weight loss will be even easier because I am so attuned to exactly what my body needs at any given time."

As you change the stories you tell yourself, you change your own behaviors and ultimately, your results!

Today's affirmation:
I believe that losing weight can be easy and fun.
