Are you stuck in Indecision about weight loss?



Let's talk about Indecision, what it is, what it does and the impact it can have on your results if you aren’t aware of the problems Indecision can cause.

Indecision is a feeling. A feeling created by thoughts like...
     I don’t know what to do.
     I'm not sure.
     I can't decide.

What happens when you feel undecided?
     Nothing, nothing at all.

Indecision is when you are trying to decide which way to go in order to get something you want.
     What path to take?
     Which direction to go?
     What results do I want?
     What plan to follow?
     Who to ask for help?

When you can't decide which way to go, you go nowhere.
     You don't move.
     You don't take action.
     You don't get results.
Staying in Indecision keeps you from getting to what you want.

Indecision is really just fear.
     Fear of failing.
     Fear of what others may think.
     Fear about getting it wrong.
     Fear about wasting time.
     Fear of missing out.

Those thoughts create
     The illusion of keeping you safe.
     The illusion of it's easier to stay where you are.
And these illusions stop you from seeing that you are just wasting time.

Losing weight is a great example of where Indecision keeps you from getting the results you want.
     I'm not sure what to do.
     I don't know what will work.
     I just don't know.

This kind of loop thinking creates ongoing feelings of uncertainty and Indecision. And this creates either no action or passive action.
     No action means you settle for where you are and don't do anything.
     Passive action, when it comes to losing weight, looks like...
          Googling how to lose weight in three weeks.
          Watching the Biggest Loser. 
          Subscribing to weight loss website and never opening the emails.
          Actions that don't lead to results.

Indecision can make you feel like you are really busy. Like you are doing something very important. But it's really not important or productive.
It's just undisciplined thinking just consuming space in our head.
And it all feels very confusing.

There are 3 things you need to do to get out of Indecision is...
     You Decide.
     Then You Commit.
     Then you start and stay committed to yourself.

How to get Results in your life - The Before & After Process (part 3)

Image
THE AFTER PROCESS CREATING YOUR AFTER Yesterday you created your Before Picture. Good job. Most people aren’t willing to have a look at their current state of affairs. They don’t look at what they have because most often it’s not what they want. But here’s the reason they don’t have what they want… Nine times out of ten it’s because they don’t even know what they want or they don’t believe they can have it. They are filled with excuses and complaints and haven’t even considered that they can decide what is possible. So now for the fun part… Dream! Think about everything you want in your life. Allow yourself to want, to Dream, to be open to Possibilities. Once I asked a friend what she wanted and she gave me a very boring “more of the same” answer. So then I changed the question to, “If anything was possible what would you want?” She got excited and sais "If anything was possible, I would want to quit my job and travel the wo...

How to get Results in your life - The Before & After Process (part 2)

Image
Yesterday we talked about the Before & After Process. Today we dig into the Before part of the Process… THE BEFORE PROCESS THE BEFORE IS WHERE YOU ARE NOW. It seems obvious, but I guarantee you it isn’t. Self-awareness is the least common trait we have as humans. We rarely take a hard look at our lives from the outside. We are so busy living IN our lives, we rarely work ON our lives. That is what life coaching is all about, stepping back and taking a look at our lives from the outside. This process works best if you can pick something specific to focus on in your life. For example: Your Relationship Your Career Your Weight Your Small Business Your Drinking Habits Your Productivity Your Stress/Anxiety Level Just pick one for now. You can go through this process as many times as you want, but the more specific you can be each time, the better. Let’s say you pick your career. You need to define the “Before”, which is whe...

Decisions ahead of time

Why is it important to make decisions ahead of time?   So you can achieve your goals So you know what you will or won't do in a future situation where your Primitive brain wants you to do the same old thing. As was discussed in the last post, your Primitive brain wants to seek pleasure, avoid pain and conserve energy. That was great when we lived in caves and had to hunt for our food, our Primitive brains were working to keep us alive. Today the Motivational Triad of seeking pleasure, avoiding pain and conserving energy is keeping us from reaching our goals.  Weight Loss goals, Exercise goals, Work goals, Relationship goals, no matter what your goals are, you have to be prepared to deal with your Primitive brain. What happens when we decide to make a change that goes against our habits is our Primitive brain freaks out and think we are going to die if we don't eat something RIGHT NOW!!! It tells us not to try something new, it's safer to sit on t...
