Thinking positively does not happen by it self. It requires aware focused attention & we need to practice it, consciously, to habitually develop the ability to think positive. The ability to think & act positive & makes it possible to turn a negative situation into positive experiences, with bonus outcomes. Right. We can unleash our newly discovered unlimited mind power to attract success, friends & anything we desire in life. The old habits are the negative habits, which, stall us, limits us & prohibits us, to go beyond ourselves to achieve a successful life.
Positive thinking alone will not change our lives. Re-organizing our minds & our way of life (habits) will provide us with a structure & to form a solid foundation on which to build a clear vision & outlook of the present (as is) & the future (should be) situation. We create our own happiness & our own drama. If you are not currently happy
do something about it… We need to Change our habits to get a different outcome?
How do we change a Habit.
* Enhance your Self Esteem - through self acceptance - to be on your own side, to affirm yourself as a human being, to be committed to your own growth, your own value as a human being. (The thought process of the (as is) situation)
* Evaluate your Self Worth - Establish & evaluate your problem & face the real problem. (as is situation)
* Ensure & re-assure your self of what you want to achieve - Your choice & decision. (What is the should be situation)
* Take a stand & decide on an action plan - Consider the When, Where, Why, With Who (all the W’s)
* Put your plan in action. - (Keep to the Rules)
* Evaluate whether it is working, if not, adjust. (See Reflection below)
* Reward your self when you have done well. (Keep to your Rules)
That’s it - Go for It - put the habit in a bag with a cement brick & drown it… Take on a Weight Loss diet & kick the old habit of being over weight!
Reflection
Do an evaluation, alone at a quiet time. Reflection is a review of the events which happened in a day. Some went great, some bad. Have you done great today? What went well & went not so well? How can you improve? Re-commit to your goals? Have you reached your goal or still far from it? Or worst still, moving further away from your goals.
To your well being!

Hi Frik,
Weight loss and general body health is a complex issue for many people.
You speak of health from spirit, body & mind.
The combination of all three working in harmony can be powerful.
Have you heard of Body Talk? Body Talk is a powerful energy based health alternative.
Body Talk is being taught at, I think, Cape Town University as part of a holistic health degree.
Take a look or contact me for further info.
