When I spend a lot of time with people 1-2-1, I am always looking for why they do what they do. People don't randomly do things. There will always be a good reason (to them) that they have a particular behaviour or characteristic. Therefore, one technique I use is the "As If" technique. You can do it now, yourself,, and all it requires is peace and quiet and some thought.

Allow your mind to relax. Just allow all tay to day "stuff" in your head to go quiet and just start to daydream what it will or does feel like to be slim, healthy and most importantly happy. Make the thoughts as vivid as possible. Firstly bring the picture or movie to the strongest it can be in your mind Where are you? Who are you with? What can you notice around you? How do you look? What are you wearing? How old are you in the thoughts? Is the picture black & white or colour? Is it bright or dim? How big is the picture in your mind? Are you in the picture or watching the picture through your own eyes? Is it in focus? Is it a movie or still? Is it 3D or flat? Now think of the sounds associated with your thoughts. Can you hear anything? Is the sound loud or soft? Is the sound fast or slow? Is the pitch of the sound high or low? Now think of the feelings associated with your thoughts. What feelings you can feel? How strong are those feelings? Are there any feeling you wouldn't expect?
Now really build the picture in your mind, if you want to change it go ahead but make the perfect picture that is just right for you on what you want to achieve. Ok, one of two things will have happened here. The first is you managed that absolutely fine and you have a big smile on your face as you have a vivid imagine or exactly what you WILL achieve and it just reminds you why you are doing everything you are doing. In which case absolutely great and whenever you need a reminder of the journey you are on then bring that image back up in your head, and remember it is fine to play around with it and add to it. Allow the great feelings you get from it to really make your day. The second thing that may have happened is that you were unable to actually imagine it, which basically means if you can't even imagine it then the chances of actually doing it for real are low, therefore if you struggled with this what are the limiting beliefs you have about yourself that would stop you having great thoughts, what makes you think that you won't actually get to where you want to get to? It is through the answers to this that you can help yourself move on and also learn a lot about yourself which you can use to your own benefit.
