Article Overview: How many times have you started on Monday? You know what I mean - Monday is the day you're starting that diet, exercise program, giving up smoking or stop biting your nails. Have you started on Monday more than once? Yes of course you have, and so have I. But why did we need to start more than once? Why wasn’t the first time the solution that got us to our goal? Here's your opportunity to to rid yourself of Monday starts for ever.

Forget Monday's Start Feeling Outrageously Healthy TODAY!

How many times have you started on Monday? You know what I mean - Monday is the day you’re starting that diet, exercise program, giving up smoking or stop biting your nails.

Have you started on Monday more than once? Yes of course you have, and so have I. But why did we need to start more than once? Why wasn’t the first time the solution that got us to our goal?

I have an idea why all these Monday starts haven’t gotten us to where we want to be. We have been using willpower to overcome whatever we see as an issue - we will just stop eating our favourite food, or just stop smoking. We will just decide to do it and that’s it! The thing about willpower is that it’s only one tool we have at our disposal and it’s a tool of your conscious mind. For you to take action you have to be consciously thinking about what you are doing all the time. That is really hard work and exhausting. So sometimes we slip up and then think, “oh no I’ve failed again”. It’s very easy at this point to slide back into the old habit and feel even worse.

Wouldn’t it be great to feel outrageously healthy today and everyday of your life? Of course, but perhaps you feel there is something holding you back. Make a list of all of the things you see as reasons you can’t possibly feel outrageously healthy right now, such as being overweight, smoking, lack of energy or not doing exercise.

None of this has anything to do with feeling outrageously healthy, because feeling outrageously healthy is a state of mind, not a state of body. Once you decide to start feeling outrageously healthy, then you’ll start acting outrageously healthy too! It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Our conscious mind only uses 1/6 of total capacity, with the remaining 5/6 used by our unconscious mind. So when we decide that Monday is that day we are using our willpower - our conscious mind - we are only using 1/6 of our mind power. The thing about our conscious mind is that it can only do so much at one time before it starts dropping balls and becoming overloaded. However our unconscious mind has a huge capacity. It does all those unconscious things like breathe for us, beat our heart, digest our food and not just that - it stores all kinds of information, in fact everything you have ever learned, heard, seen, thought or felt is stored in your body as part of your unconscious mind.

We have so many things stored in our unconscious that we are not consciously aware of, which we still play out in our lives today, creating results or outcomes we don’t consciously desire. Once we become aware of these patterns, beliefs or behaviours then we can change them to a new pattern, belief or behavior to get us the life we want and deserve.

So stop feeling bad about your current state and get excited, because an outrageously healthy life is yours for the living.
What happens when we start on Monday and by Wednesday we are totally off our desired path? How useful would it be to remove that old information that is holding you back? Even better - to replace it with something else; something empowering that will propel you forward into the outrageously healthy life you deserve.

Do you believe in "Mantra" or "Mission Statem - In the Strategic Management course I'm currently taking, my group and I were supposed to come up with an improved mission statement for the organization we're analyzing or explain why the existing one doesn't need to be revised. However, business expert and author, Guy Kawasaki says "Forget mission statements; they're long, boring, and irrelevant. No one can ever remember them-much less implement them. Instead, take your meaning and make a mantra out of it. This will set your entire team on the right course" ("The Art of the Start" 3). Which do you use for your own businesses: Mantra, Mission Statements or neither? Thanks
