Learning to Think Thin is an Essential Part of Permanent Weight LossThe real key to permanent weight loss is in your mind. You have to learn to think thin, to visualize your ideal body image.Some people are able to use will power, they decide they are eating less, they do it and they lose weight. But such people are in the minority. For most of us, will power just doesn't work. In fact the more we focus on not doing something, the more we end up doing it. It's often called 'the law of attraction' - we attract what we focus on. The more we focus on not eating food, the more we tend to eat. Mental changes have to happen at a subconscious level if they are really going to work. Electroencephalographers tell us that we have four different brain wave states.- Beta waves operate on a conscious level. It occurs when we are actively thinking thoughts and reasoning things out or speaking.- Alpha waves are more subconscious. They occur when thoughts subside during wakeful relaxation. Love, Joy, and Peace are often Alpha moments.- Theta waves occur in a deep subconscious state. A state which can be accessed through deep meditation. You enter a dreamlike state and become unaware of what is going on around you. They are the home of inspiration and creativity and long term (sometimes repressed) memories.- Delta waves occur in an unconscious state. It’s the part that continues to function with no effort on your part – your respiratory system, cardio-vascular system, etc. If you are going to learn how to change habits, you need to do it on the Alpha or Theta levels to train your subconscious for new healthy habits to become the new normal.So you need to learn how to turn off the conscious Beta wave chatter state and move into an Alpha or Theta brain wave state and then use visualization and affirmation techniques to achieve your goals
