How to Use Affirmations to Lose Weight

Many people have experienced the transformative power of positive affirmations. Their negative way of thinking becomes reprogrammed and they find their life heading in the direction that they always wanted. Affirmations give your mind the tools needed to motivate your body to change, including the ability to lose weight.

Instructions

• 1

  Decide on the type of affirmations that you want to use. Some people like affirmations that are written down on paper while others use a CD with positive affirmations recorded on it.

• 2

  Create a script. Carefully choose the words that you will use to motivate yourself to lose weight. Affirmations that you can use include, "My body has a healthy shape and I weigh the right amount" or "I will lose weight today." Keep the affirmations positive and upbeat.

• 3

  Listen or look at the affirmations consistently. You should use the affirmations several times a day in order for them to be effective.

• 4

  Permit your subconscious to take over. Relax while you look at or listen to the affirmations and let them seep into your subconscious. Your mind will become trained to respond to your words.

• 5

  Keep negative thoughts at bay. Any negative images that you have about your body will resound in your subconscious and hinder your weight loss goals.

• 6

  Watch the pounds melt away. You will begin to eat less because your mind has been trained to feel satisfied with less food. Your new positive way of thinking will also increase your desire to begin exercising on a regular basis.
