While Walking to Lose Weight Meditate

Category: law of attraction for weight loss, the new walker, walking to lose weight, weight loss tips | No Comments

Recently events have brought to my attention that many of you don’t understand this walking to lose weight lifestyle the way I do. The  new lifestyle walker finds the time to do it for the many benefits walking provides.

While walking to lose weight I do a lot of  mental reviews. It is a great way to practice law of attraction.

Appreciation:

As an example the act of appreciation is tantamount to inviting things you appreciate into your life. These may be replicas of what you identify as appreciating or something that will lead you to feel a similar appreciation. Set out walking with the goal of appreciating as much as possible.

Meditation:

Highly Recommended! Getting Into The Vortex: Guided Meditations CD and User Guide

For those whose lives have been limited by illness, depression or other restrictive issues, and overweight or regaining fitness is the aim of your walking to lose weight program, exercise induced deep breathing is a life changer. There are physiological benefits to deep breathing and everyone knows that at some level when exercising you are breathing quicker. This is a good thing! Improved lung capacity, blood circulation, energising high…For those able to at least walk, regular, especially daily, deep breathing whether through exercise exertion or meditation is a great boost to your living skills. Walking the right way can do this! What an advantage-lose weight, get fitter, improve your  mood, and meditate all in one!

For those who are walking for weight loss or fitness yet still have extraordinarily interactive lives, perhaps what could be called an extraverted life, then daily meditation is a must. The first lot of people above often lack social interaction and walking acts as a means of getting out of themselves. The other group are often surrounded by others and if walking to lose weight may find it welcome personal time. If exercise without others around you is a turn off and meditation seems boring then you may be relying on stimulation from external causes and you would definitely benefit from a more traditional meditation approach.

This should also provide the deep breathing benefit although if you are obtaining that daily from your exercise it is less necessary through meditation. Getting Into The Vortex: Guided Meditations CD and User Guide is my all time favourite meditation that I use daily. I am a big fan personally and from the results when others follow this recommendation. This is Getting Into The Vortex: Guided Meditations CD and User Guide.

Walking, exercise, meditation all can provide the wonderful advantages I find from regularly breathing hard!

What’s Your Pleasure in Walking to Lose Weight?

Category: law of attraction for weight loss, walking to lose weight | No Comments

This post is about one way it is easy to love Walking to Lose Weight! It is an example of how I keep walking in my life by focusing on how it helps and rewards my body with fitness and endorphins and weight control.

Walking to lose weight is my basic exercise. I do lots of other things and these change with the seasons and my timetable.

This ‘appreciation’ process is simply law of attraction in action! Sometimes I write them down, sometimes I put them into a conversation, sometimes I just think about them. The list changes because there are always new ways to appreciate walking:

  • Whenever I use the Leg Press machine at the gym it reminds me how strong my  legs are! Not just with me but also with other regular walkers.
  • The value of strong legs is always there as it is easy for me to get up and down off the floor-in fact I love to do it and don’t hesitate to get down and dirty to play with kids.
  • I get great ideas and insights when I’m doing it. It is meditative, reflective and inspirational time for me.
  • There are ‘hidden’ walkers everywhere and it is an immediate bond! Throw it in the conversation and see who else walks.
  • Walking is a fun way to explore and get to know a new area.

Finding the pleasure in your action is a significant life enhancer! Use it throughout your life but specifically to keep feeling good about your exercise or weight loss process.

Simply start with 5 ways you enjoy walking to lose weight. Make a game of it by trying to find 5 new ways each time you walk. Watch how this adds to your pleasure when you walk for weight loss.

The Way to Use Your Thoughts to Help with Walking to Lose Weight

Category: law of attraction for weight loss, walking for weight loss, walking to lose weight, weight loss tips | 1 Comment

From Denying the Need for Walking to Lose Weight:

  • “He set a criteria he knew would mean he could deny the issue. The same process but used to find supportive thoughts, words and emotions, would have created the perfect environment for change.”
  • “Walking for weight loss offers multiple benefits both physically and mentally. When you are ready to give up making excuses and put the power into solutions then walking to lose weight has a lot to offer.”

The way to use your thoughts to help with walking to lose weight is to appreciate the distinction between thinking ‘you’re ‘getting away with something‘ and ‘feeling good‘ about what you’re doing.

Examples of “I’m getting away with it” thinking:

  • they offered me a second helping so I’m obviously not over eating
  • no one has told me I’m overweight
  • everyone eats this much.

If inside your head you are either thinking of yourself as overweight or fat but that maybe no one else has noticed or are emphasising your bad habits and de-emphasising your good habits then you are practicing negative thinking.

If the amount of attention or emphasis you give to negative attitudes, comments and ideas surpasses the attention or emphasis on your inspired ideas, actions and thoughts, then you are practicing negative thinking.

The best way to use your thoughts when walking for weight loss or using any other weight loss tactic, is to concentrate on turning a negative into a positive interpretation. The best armour for going out into the world is the  way to sway your thoughts to the positive.

Examples of ways to change from a ‘I’m getting away with it’ thinking pattern.

  • If I eat less than I  normally eat, I’m doing better than before.
  • It feels good that others like me the way I am. My weight loss is for me to enjoy.
  • I have no way of knowing what others eat in a day. All I need be aware of is what I eat, and feel good about it.

Denying the Need for Walking to Lose Weight

Category: law of attraction for weight loss, walking for weight loss, walking to lose weight, weight loss tips | No Comments

How often have you considered walking as a way to lose weight? You may be one of the many active walkers out there but of course I’m talking specifically to anyone who hasn’t taken that first step. Walking to lose weight is an obvious exercise for those with serious weight issues. Doctors tend to be fond of it as the easiest option to ‘sell’. It is cheap, non-technical, can be done alone, etc. For some it is outside their capability but for most it is the easiest to adapt to any level of fitness. If getting out of the chair and walking across the room exhausts you then that is exercise!

I know that taking on a walking to lose weight program can seem daunting. This is often the exercise of last resort and the walker must contend with multiple issues. Health can play into obesity and obesity affects health. Constricting yourself from exercise for whatever reason starts a trend towards inactivity that can have serious health problems including depression.

Walking for weight loss offers multiple benefits both physically and mentally. When you are ready to give up making excuses and put the power into solutions then walking to lose weight has a lot to offer.

This recent article, Traverse City Sports Writer Loses 200 Lb,  includes a significant amount of information relating to obesity. However one aspect I want to focus on for some of this post is the idea that others are a good gauge in any way. Mike let himself believe that his weight wasn’t extreme because his friends didn’t mention it. We often use unconscious selection criteria when choosing friends and associates. Overweight people often surround themselves with other overweight people. Under exercisers often surround themselves with other under exercisers.

Most likely he already believed he was overweight but was able to avoid it by making his friends the decision makers for his behaviour. He set a criteria he knew would mean he could deny the issue. The same process but used to find supportive thoughts, words and emotions, would have created the perfect environment for change.

Mike 200 lbs overweight

Isn’t that saying the same thing? It’s wrong but it’s right? The answer is NO.

The first step for most people is to get the difference. One way is finding excuses not to make a decision to change his behaviour, the other is finding ways to make the process easy.

Listen to overweight people talking about their weight, or their body parts. Suggesting that someone interested in weight loss should remove it as a statement of their personal value is one way of using law of attraction principles to support walking for weight loss.

Weight loss shouldn’t be personal. Put better, weight loss processes work best when you depersonalise them.

Law of attraction and weight loss as a combination is a natural fit. Evidence presents itself everyday of the effective use of words and thoughts but especially emotions to prompt a new view of your body.

Come back in a few days to read my  next post, as I continue to explain the thought processes that make the difference when walking to lose weight. Law of attraction isn’t as scary as it may sound at first if it is new to you.

I am in the process of rewriting my book Practical Law of Attraction for Weight Loss. There will be a new version of the free chapters available also by subscribing to my Weekly Weight Loss  Hints and Tips email list from July.

Feel Good With Walking to Lose Weight

Category: walking to lose weight | 2 Comments

Feeling good while walking or doing other things to lose weight is vitally important. We lose weight by sticking to a process that works for us. We stick to this process over time by feeling good about it enough to do it consistently. Weight stays off by keeping up the basics of the process once the desired weight loss is achieved.

For this reason any weight loss process is more than ‘exercise’ it is a lifestyle decision. For the same reason it has to be a lot better than ‘old style’ exercise or diets.

Let’s look at your support structure. Does it include a variety of exercise options that include all weather  and circumstances? Is it generally financially sound and not at risk of dropping off when other commitments get in the way? Can it withstand the occasional injury or health problem?

Walking to lose weight suits modern lifestyles. It is flexible, cheap, feels good, and most ages or ability can do it.

Walking to lose weight is a  popular choice for weight loss exercise and my observation over the last few years has an increasing number of walkers out on the streets and  not just in the pretty or scenic places. Running also has become sexy as exercise and attracts an increasing number, especially men, although plenty  of women indulge.

The largest consumer research report in the USA over the last decade found that the majority of those researched who had successfully lost weight and then maintained most of that weight loss for the next 5 years, continued their exercise program during those 5 years post weight loss. Walking was the most popular exercise for weight loss. It was a mainstay with successful losers who then chose a variety of exercises that they enjoyed to add to the variety and feel good factor.

The latest accessory to most exercise and weight loss is the use of the Internet for support, information and assistance on technical issues.

There are a variety of styles of web support and it can be a great asset for a daily routine. Check out some of these links for free  examples:
