I've saved them all to my Ipod and I've only actually listened to a couple, but the information is so powerful that I've learnt loads already! Sometimes it's just the one or two key points that can cause us to reach a 'tipping point' to take action where before there was inaction, or a tip that makes the difference between renewed success and continuing aimlessly down the same path.
The great thing about these audios are that they don't focus on the specifics of exercise or nutrition at all! Apart from Tom Venuto's brilliant nutrition guideline of 'Lean, Green and Marine' the focus is on how to get the mindset in place.
Until we have the right thinking going on, any changes we make are going to be hard work and usually temporary, If we see exercise as something we don't enjoy, we will stick with it while our focus and willpower are there, but the first obstacle or disruption will mean the new programme gets left behind.
Kevin Gianni had a fab way of helping you to change your mindset, as of course it's not that easy to change your way of thinking! Saying to yourself; 'I am the type of person who....'. It seems simple, and it is, but it's very powerful. If you are struggling to lose weight or eat well, you are probably subconsciously telling yourself that you're the type of person who can't lose weight, or who will always be fat, or who hates exercise.
If you simply start adding more positive phrases, such as 'I am the type of person who likes being active' or 'I am the type of person who feels better when I eat healthy food' you can create the right internal environment in your head, that will allow the required actions to follow naturally.
There are so many little tips and tricks, so I won't bombard you with them all now. But give this one a try. Catch any negative self talk when you notice it (we are so good at this we often don't even realise we're doing it!) and switch it round to something more positive, and notice the amazing effects!
