dare4liberty's Journal, 09 March 2011

I'm revisiting a useful book called Think Thin Be Thin with the subtitle 101 Psychological Ways to Lose Weight.

Starting at 9:25 am, I reread several of the 101 Psychological Motivators not in any particular order, just flipping through the book.

Become Mindful:
Quote:
... use a gatha (a short poem, holy song, or psalm) that keeps you focused on your life's meaning along with mindful breathing. As you say the first line, breathe in. As you say the second line, breathe out.


I then quickly began posting to my journal to capture the exercise here which in itself is another psychological motivator.

United We Lose Weight:

Quote:
Even if you don't consider yourself a joiner, you may discover unexpected advantages in banding together to take off pounds...

collective problem solving
accountability to both yourself and others


Left Brain, Right Brain

Why You Should Sweat It:

Quote:
Starting an exercise program is the first step, but sticking with the routine can be just as challenging. According to studies of "exercise adherence," half of those who start working out drop out within six months.

To keep your muscles moving, engage your brain. According to research, the people most likely to continue an exercise program are those who keep the benefits in mind.
