SIX STEPS TO SHIFT YOUR MINDSET
AND ACHIEVE SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS

Unfortunately focusing on weight loss, despising your figure and assuming that life will be perfect when you lose a few pounds may just be what is preventing you from achieving your weight loss goals. Here are six steps you can implement to help shift towards a more positive mindset and finally achieve the body you desire:

1) Acceptance - One of the first mindset shifting steps is accepting your current body and learning that the way you look does not define you as a person. This doesn't mean that you have to settle for the way you look if you are unhappy with it, but accepting the current reality and how you got there will allow you to take ownership of your current situation and move forward. It is important to focus your mindset on solutions rather than past excuses. Only then will you be free from inner pressure, comfortable in your own skin and be able to focus on accomplishing positive changes.

2) Visualisation - The law of attraction is a popular and powerful tool used by many successful people all over the world. To start off with just envision how you would feel if you achieved your goals? Would you be more confident? Have more energy? Be more sociable? Visioning how life would improve and actually seeing yourself live that life can help you take a step in the right direction towards creating healthier habits.

3) Organisation - In order to achieve success it is important to plan and prepare. Planning out your workouts for the week ahead, your meals, your outfits, even placing your gym bag by the door the night before are all great ways to make it easier for you to keep on track. The saying “failing to prepare is preparing to fail” may be cliche, but it definitely has truth behind it. Did you know The Slender Plan comes with a range of handy sachets and snacks, so you always have a healthy high protein option wherever you go?

4) Environment - A healthy environment helps to create a healthy mind and lifestyle. Declutter anything that doesn't benefit you from your home, your fridge freezer, your contact list, your social media followers, the list could go on. Surrounding yourself with positive energy can really help keep you on the right track, socialising with like-minded people helps enhance motivation and accountability. Investing in The Slender Plan will also give you access to our exclusive Facebook community group where you can interact with over 6000 members all on similar journeys!

5) Self Care - Taking the time to look after your physical and mental health can help to reduce your stress levels and boost self-empowerment. Making healthier choices all round is a great way of practicing self-care. Associating food as a reward and exercise as a punishment reinforces unhealthy relationships towards diet and exercise. Shifting your mindset towards seeing them both equally as a way to enhance your overall health and lifestyle can help to remove these unhealthy associations and promote a more positive relationship. Taking part in regular meditation has also been found to have numerous positive benefits. Grab a cup of our Slender Tea and take some time to live in the moment. Meditation can be anything from practising breathing techniques, reading a book or taking a relaxing bath.

6) Gratitude & Self Belief - Just acknowledging a few things that you are grateful for everyday can help to overcome negativity barriers and enforce positive changes in your life. There would be little point in having a goal if you didn’t believe it could become reality. Keeping your goal at the centre of your focus and believing it’s there to be achieved will help keep you focused and moving forward.
