If youre like most people, youre seriously thinking about losing some weight. Its got to be the #1 resolution of all time. The problem is, most people simply have the wrong mindset for weight loss.

It’s hard to get immediate results, isn’t it? It’s because you focus on the sacrifice of giving up the food you love?

All you have to do is to change your belief that when you lose weight you are not sacrificing anything; you are gaining everything? How would that change your attitude about losing weight from now on?

In hypnosis we call that a reframe, which is a way of empowering your beliefs so you can make the changes you desire.

Most people tend to go on diets to help them lose weight. Unfortunately, diets are ineffective about 90% of the time. You can read about this at www.WeightLossHypnosisSystem.com

Diets focus on the external the food that you eat. In my New You Total Weight Loss System, you learn to focus on the internal what you think and how you feel about food and yourself.

This gets to the core of the issue, after all there are innumerable reasons to lose excess weight, and virtually no good reasons to keep it on, except your mindset (your fears, your beliefs, and your self-esteem).

The human mind is incredibly powerful - much more powerful than your body. Your mind can cause you to eat to excess, without even realizing it, and your mind can also cause you to feel completely satisfied with only a small amount of food. It all depends on your internal programing, and your mindset.

The right mindset can help you attain all your targets in life, or doom you to fail miserably at them.

It helps to have a system that keeps you highly motivated to lose the weight, help you set goals for yourself, and address the emotional issues which often keep us from losing weight and keeping it off for good.

Of course, you need to use a healthy eating plan. When you follow a proven plan you drastically increase your chances for success. Without a plan its hard to achieve anything.

1. Ask ‘Whats my plan for losing weight this year?’

Leading a support group can seem like an overwhelming task, but follow along with this simple checklist to cover all of the administrative tasks, and it will run much smoother down the road.

[1] Purpose of your group. Sit down and work on a mission statement of 1-2 sentences so you understand what your actual goal is for the group.

[2] Group description. What exactly is the problem people are dealing with and how do you intend to try to help fix it through your support group?

[3] Personal motives. Take some time to ask yourself “Why do I feel I am the one to lead this group?” Make sure you really want to do it, and are not just saying yes to someone because you’ll feel guilty saying now, nor because you are seeking personal glory.

[4] Approval requirements. Do you need to get formal approval from a higher source before starting your group, such as a health organization? If so, have you received it?

[5] Group’s life expectancy. What do you see as the life of your group? Do you hope it will meet indefinitely until the need fades away, growing and changing as members define it? Or would you rather ask that people commit to the group for a certain amount of time, like four months, and then recommit if they still want to attend?

[6] Meeting frequency. How often do you plan to meet; weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly? Take into consider the schedules and lifestyles of your members. Would you prefer to have seventy percent attend one time a month or thirty percent of the member attend twice a month?

[7] Group outline. How will the time at your meeting be filled? Do you wish to have time allotted for people to share, pray, or network? Do you plan to go through a study or will you have speakers from your community come to share their expertise? What is your preference and your attendees?

[8] Location. Where will your group meet? Will it be a short driving distance for most people? Is it accessible for people with disabilities? Is the atmosphere comfortable or will members feel intimidated? It the lighting good? If it’s in a large building, like a hospital, will there be signs to make sure people don’t get lost? Will a receptionist know when and where your group meets? Do they know where to park and will there be a fee for parking?

[9] Attendance. Is it open or closed? Is anyone welcome at any time? Are new members welcome during a certain time period? Is membership from another organization required to qualify? For example, if it’s an illness support group in a church do participants have to attend the church?

[10] Activities. Will the group be having parties, picnics, or time with family members? About how frequently?

[11] Guests. Can family members or friends come to the meetings? If the answer is yes, is this okay with other members? Is all right on occasion only, or on a regular basis?

[12] Projects. Do the attendees of you group want to be involved in activities outside of the support group meeting that help others? For example, would your group be open to delivering care packages for people who are home-bound, or would they want to have a Christmas party for children who have chronically ill parents?

[13] Policies. Have you written up some basic guidelines for the group? They should contain: a privacy statement, the expectation that everyone will be treated respect, how to handle conflicts, that the group is not for commercial use, etc. If you are an illness support group, you may want to be specific about how you will handle alternative treatment discussions and people’s desire to share their most recent “cure.”

[14] Handouts. What brochures or other educational pieces will you have available? Can anyone bring handouts? Do they need approved in advance?

[15] Exchange of personal information. Do group members want their address, phone and/or emails distributed to other members as a directory to do they want it to remain private and give it out to people on a need to know basis?

[16] Promotion. What are your plans for letting people know about your group? If your group is formed under an organization, what forms of advertising are acceptable? For example, a classified in the local paper? An announcement in the calendar section of the paper? Flyers? Is there anything not allowed that you should be aware of and do the promotional pieces need approval?

[17] Media exposure. Can you write a press release? If not, ask around to find someone qualified. Tell them about your meetings and purpose. Many people have past journalism, writing, or public relations experience that can help.

[18] Videotaping or photos. Will your group allow you to videotape the sessions so people who cannot attend can enjoy hearing special speakers, etc. When should the camera be on? Off? Do they need to sign a release? Will any of it be posted online? Will they allow photos for the media?

[19] What promotional pieces do you need and who will design them? Posters, flyers, business cards, and stickers, can all be helpful.

[20] Online communication. Does your group wish to have a “hub″ online to exchange information or encourage one another? Do they want something simple, like just email exchanges, or a social network setting available through a source like Ning?

[21] Online web site. It’s easy to set up a simple web site using free blog software online. This can be a great place to post your groups’ calendar of events, links of resources, announcements, etc. You can also share online information with your group from other organizations and web sites as well. Use RSS feeds, links to online radio programs, and more. This can quickly give your group the support that they may need that you may not be able to provide on our own.

It’s easy to get bogged down in life’s problems. When the going gets tough, we always have two options. We can allow circumstances to take away our motivation and defeat us or we can rise to the challenge. A gratitude bracelet is one aid to staying positive, even when the odds seem stacked against us.

The Importance of Gratitude

The fact of the matter is we can always find someone worse of then we are. By considering and recognizing the blessings we already have when things seem to be going down hill, we have reach that small but powerful step we need to take to find ourselves with a more positive outlook.

It can be a difficult task to detach oneself in order to objectively view various situations. If you surround yourself with pessimistic attitudes, in the end they can only aggravate the situation instead of improving it. Take for example some sort of depressive illness. Many things can appear to be far worse than they really are. A spiralling decline seems to happen when we allow ourselves to view subsequent issues in our lives in negative terms.

Pessimism can be appropriate. Misplaced optimism and denial can be as damaging as a negative attitude. The trick is to find balance and to seek ways to keep our perceptions and reactions in proportion. Gratitude is important as a counterbalance to focusing on the problems we are experiencing.

What Do I Have To Be Grateful For?

Many of us don’t even come close to recognizing the many things we have to be grateful for. If people don’t count their blessings in life, it is quite easy to take the positive aspects for granted. By keeping a journal of things to be grateful for has been proven as an effective tool to enhance the happiness we feel. By keeping a record of the many things we can be grateful about on a daily basis could include such things as an appreciation of our friends and family, the journaling of our children’s milestones or anything else you are grateful for. By searching for and documenting the positives in your life, it can be quite amazing to see how long the list is of times or things that deserve their own gratitude.

Gratitude Bracelets and a Positive Attitude

Maintaining a positive attitude by using gratitude as a tool provides you with regular reinforcement. Even though we are using a gratitude journal as a tool to remind us on a daily basis what our blessings or what the positive things are in our lives, a gratitude bracelet can also be a tool to keep those positive thoughts in place. By stopping for a few seconds every time you put your bracelet on, take it off or even look at it you are providing yourself with a reminder of those many things you have to be happy about. Leave the reasons you have for discontent aside and just focus on the positives at these times.

Your choice of gratitude bracelet could be dependant on many different ideals. It could be as simple as a general reminder you have many positive things in your life. It can also be as complex as finding one symbolizing some of the many things that enrich your life on a daily basis. You can choose a color that reminds you of your favorite part of nature, or a color that makes you think about that particular look in a loved ones eyes.

Once there is a positive connection made between you and your gratitude bracelet there will be an endless number of opportunities to be reminded of the positive things in your life. Consider giving a gratitude bracelet as a gift, and not only are you blessing that person with the opportunity to remember their personal reasons of gratitude, they will also think of you as the person who gave them this priceless chance to remember all other reasons they have to be grateful.

It’s easy to get bogged down in life’s problems. When the going gets tough, we always have two options. We can allow circumstances to take away our motivation and defeat us or we can rise to the challenge. A gratitude bracelet is one aid to staying positive, even when the odds seem stacked against us.

Discovering the Importance of Gratitude

It may seem like a small consolation when you consider there is always someone in a worse predicament than yourself. When life seems to be on a steady decline, recognize the areas in which you are blessed. By doing this you are taking a big, powerful step towards the beginning of a brand new positive outlook on life.

It can be hard to be detached and view situations objectively. A pessimistic attitude compounds the problem. As in depressive illness, things seem worse than they actually are. The worse things seem, the more likely we are to interpret subsequent events in our lives in negative terms. It becomes a downward spiral.

Pessimism can be appropriate. Misplaced optimism and denial can be as damaging as a negative attitude. The trick is to find balance and to seek ways to keep our perceptions and reactions in proportion. Gratitude is important as a counterbalance to focusing on the problems we are experiencing.

And Just What Do I Have To Be Grateful For?

A large number of us barely scratch the surface when it comes to recognizing those things we should be grateful for. Many don’t realize they are taking these positive things for granted, and sometimes forget to count their blessings. A good way to keep track of these positive aspects of our lives is by keeping a gratitude journal. Simply keeping a daily record of the things in life we should be grateful for, such as friends and family or celebration of a small stroke of luck has been proven to enhance happiness. Once the seeking out of positives in your life has been noted, it can easily amaze you at how many things you actually have to be grateful for.

How a Gratitude Bracelet Helps Maintain a Positive Attitude

Maintaining a positive attitude by using gratitude as a tool provides you with regular reinforcement.

Choose a color that will remind you of the eyes of a loved one or a material whose feel reminds you of something you have and love.

The possibilities are endless. Once you have made the association, you will be reminded of the positive things in your life every time you see or touch it.
