How to Lose Weight by Having FUN! Part 3

I got so much feedback from my birthday blog that I decided to continue the celebration ALL month long! Pretend TODAY is YOUR Birthday – how would you celebrate if you were 5 years old?

You agreed - at 5 years old you look forward to FUN!

I use affirmations – positive, personal, and present-tense statements to help me “look” for the fun.

Affirmations keep you focused on what you WANT.

“I love TODAY – how will I PLAY?” (5 year old you)

AFFIRMATIONS – YOUR GATEWAY TO JOY!

Quick reminder: affirmations are:

  • Positive statements
  • Personal
  • Present Tense
  • Believable (with a stretch!)

    “I believe something wonderful is happening to me today!”

    “I like myself” (one of THE most powerful affirmations – from the incredible Brian Tracy – repeat this 10 times and keep reading!)

Yesterday I was listening to one of Brian Tracy’s audio programs and realized that focusing on getting things done – with joy – affects every area of my life!

I got SO much done (important stuff) and felt great!

P.S. When you FEEL good you are less likely to overeat.

My goal: help you to recognize your good (and not so good) feelings and LIVE in the moment – that’s where all the JOY is!

Here are some of the affirmations that help me:

“I am incredible at time management “

“I am getting all the tough stuff done so I can have FUN!”

Sound a little “corny” or cute?

Your brain LOVES corny and cute – it “re-programs” more easily that way!

To change your brain for FUN:

Repeat POSITIVE affirmations again and again

With:

  • Faith (know it will happen)
  • Acceptance (of the now)
  • Belief (that you are changing your reality)

Other statements:

“I am always on time for my appointments”

“I use my time well”

“I am well organized”

This will start to impact your behaviors – immediately!

Repeat them 3-5 times with EMOTION (excitement - happy)!









Here’s this week’s list – put them somewhere you can see them – repeat them daily and see the changes take place!

“I like myself”

“I believe something wonderful is happening to me today!”

“I am an AWESOME woman!”

“I am exactly where I am supposed to be on my life’s path!”

“I use my time well”

“I am always on time for my appointments”

“I deserve the best!”

“I am well organized”

“I am incredible at time management “

“I am getting all the tough stuff done so I can have FUN!”

HINT: you must say it with enthusiasm to get it into the subconscious!

Please let me know how this is working for you: paula@ClaimYourBestLife.com

And if you love this stuff, please forward this on to 3 friends who are incredible women like you!

Today’s point: you deserve FUN every day!

To FEEL better – repeat the affirmations and decide to live in JOY!

Hint: Getting more done will make you feel WONDERFUL! Make a list of the top 3 things you need to get done TODAY and start on them NOW! And ask, “How can I make this more FUN?” (Start NOW!)
