THE most important aspect of this holiday challenge plays out every day right between your ears. The thoughts and beliefs that transpire and swirl around your brain are the very cords of reality that determine your actions. I want to offer you an exercise that can be life changing. Now, it is a little weird but what else would you expect from me?

Our subconscious beliefs truly guide our actions every day. Your subconscious mind simply plays out the rules and guidelines that you have fed it over the course of your lifetime. If you hold beliefs that you are overweight and are powerless to change that, then your subconscious mind is a dutiful slave and will always agree with whatever “truth” you give it. If you don’t truly believe that you will acquire a healthy lean existence then you subconscious mind will act and eat like the bloated toad it believes itself to be.

Wishes are weak. Wishes amount to nothing. Belief and faith are what move mountains. When you believe and know what awaits you then the action becomes quite simple.

So how do you really see yourself? Do you see a self-actualized individual who is in charge of their destiny? Do you see a body that you are proud of because it reflects the values that you hold dear? Or do you see a marshmallow who is pretending to be on a journey that you know is only a pipe dream that will inevitably crash and burn.

If this last sentence hit home a little too hard then you need to take some immediate action. What may be true this very second does not need to be true 5 minutes from now. You can change the direction of your mind but to do so you have to search your software and check for any self destructive programs that you have tucked away in your subconscious. 

We have all been given “beliefs” from people close to us such as parents, teachers, friends, church, government, scout leaders, etc. But not all of these learned lessons are constructive and some are just down right destructive. If you have beliefs (software) installed in your subconscious that says “I never follow through,” then this is a destructive “truth” that you must erase. Your conscious mind can replace it but you need to take some action to do so.

Here is your action step for today: “seeing is believing.” Actually I believe that believing is believing, but for the sake of illustration we are going to create a vision that will help to drive belief.
