Shifting Your Paradigm...

Hello everyone,

In case your wondering about this topic, and how it applies, is easy to explain, a little harder to understand.

The answer is training.

Your paradigm, each of them that you have, was created based on observation by you.  Later, it was reinforced by further observation of your environment and your perception of the people, things, and events in that environment. 

Some may argue this, and say well some one told this to me...well, you were paying attention.

The paradigms you have are yours alone, you created them, you use them, and you would not behave the way you do with out them.

The issue comes up when you want to make a change.  Doesn't matter the reason, you no longer want to be overweight, you no longer want to be skinny, you no longer want to have a habit, good or bad.

Well, you have made a conscious decision to change.  Now how to make that change?

When it comes to weight loss, people want a system, (already proven system), to use.  When it fails, they want to blame the person(s), that provided or developed it.  Rarely, do they place the blame on themselves.

The reason, your paradigms!
  • It's too easy
  • It's too complicated
  • It's too hard or demanding
  • I don't have enough time
  • etc...
While these paradigms also sound a lot like excuses, they have a very real impact on you, and your behavior.

Let's examine what a paradigm really is:
It is a model or pattern that is used to evaluate an object, situation, person.

The paradigm is normally used by the subconscious mind to moderate your behavior, for a given situation, or circumstances.

I would like to challenge you to explore all of your paradigms and how they affect your behavior with respect to your weight and health.

Maybe, once we understand what our (your) paradigms are, we can then work to change them.

Until the next post...

Dan
