How Your Mind Can Get You That Dream Body Shape Most of you will probably know about Napoleon Hill’s famous book called "Think And Grow Rich". So can you think and get your dream body shape of your desire? Yes, you certainly can. You see, most of us have our own mindsets developed from life experiences and although some of these mindsets served us well at some point in time, many of them are now redundant and may be even sabotaging you. Don’t believe me? Then let me ask you a few questions.

Do you believe that no matter how hard you try to lose weight, you just can't keep the weight off permanently?

Do you believe that your body shape is determined by your genetic makeup and thus you can't do anything to change it?

Do you believe that you just do not have the discipline and commitment to get the body shape that you desire?

If you say YES to any of the questions above, then you know what? I now know the body shape you are in right now because nothing is going to change if you don’t change your thinking. If you harbor this negative mindset, chances are that you will not be doing anything to change your body shape. Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin said the same thing, “Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results". Get the drift?

These negative beliefs are the reasons holding you back from achieving the level of fitness and the body shape that you desire. At this point, you may also like to think about other negative beliefs you may have in other aspects of your life and learn how to get rid of negative beliefs.

You see no matter how much you may desire something, if you have underlying contradictory beliefs about the subject matter of your desire, you will just be sabotaging yourself. Even if you really want to build muscles like a Greek god or  if you believe "dieting" means having to starve yourself or going to gym workout is too much of a hassle, then it will be ridiculous to think that you can get the body shape you want isn't it?

How did we develop out negative mindsets and thoughts? You see, as we grow up and experienced life, we encounter people, places, things and experiences and  we collect information about them through our senses which is then stored in our subconscious mind.

Our subconscious mind is a vast databank of which you refer to every time you consciously think about something so you will know what to “feel” about it and how to respond to it.

For example as a child, you may have been stung by a bee and now, you break out into cold sweat whenever you see a bee even though the chances of getting stung by it now is almost none. This is because by sighting the bee now, instinctively access all of your beliefs about bees which in turn cause you to behave in a certain way towards it. The beliefs we have stored in our subconscious mind dictate what how we think which in turn affect what we say and do.

To prove to you that your beliefs drive your life, let’s look at another example. Do you remember that when you where a little kid you probably believed in Santa Claus. There was no way for you that Santa did not exist, because after all, when you wake up on Christmas day, all your presents are in your stocking or under the Christmas tree. That was all the evidence you needed tp proof that Santa existed.
 

As you grew older, new evidence presented itself until those beliefs where replaced with new ones and these new beliefs are now your reality. Your belief system has changed. However, have they changed for the better? Well, some of them yes, and many like the questions I asked earlier about your body shape don’t.

The point is if you really desire to build a handsome muscular body or you just want to lose that last 10 pounds and keep it off but are finding it difficult to do so, then you have start identifying your underlying beliefs and change them if need be.

This could be difficult because many of your limiting beliefs are so ingrained that you don’t even know they existed. From my experience, the easiest and most effective way to get identify and get rid of these negative beliefs is through self hypnosis.

Remember the old saying "Change your thoughts and change your life"? So if you want to get the dream body shape that you desire, then start identifying your negative beliefs, getting rid of them and program new positive mind set into your subconscious mind and soon, your life will change for the better. Your mind is very powerful indeed!
