I've been reading parts of the Transformation Solution by Bill Phillips for the second time today.
Some parts naturally stuck with me, as if I've been ready for some of these lessons and now that I've learned them, it's much easier for me to adopt them into my life.
I want to share 4 of those things which I learned with you.
I hope that these things will help you make a difference in your life and in your body.
1.
Helping others to help yourself - I've been writing about losing weight and improving your body for quite a while now.
Nothing makes me happy like getting an email from a reader letting me know how much I've helped.
I never thought about how much happier I feel knowing that I've helped another person.
This is one of the main lessons of the Transformation Solution: that you need to help others in order to help yourself.
2.
Forgive yourself for the past, for the future - The past is the foundation of the future.
If you can't depend on it and keep it behind you, the future may be shaky as well.
Too many people blame themselves for past mistakes: for things they did do and for things they didn't.
If you can't forgive yourself and accept your past mistakes, you won't be able to build a better future.
In terms of weight loss, if you can't forgive yourself for getting overweight, you won't be able to put it behind you and focus on burning the fat off.
3.
Overcoming addictive habits - One phrase which I like from the Transformation Solution is: "You can only rise as high as your lowest habit".
This means that one bad habit can keep you down in your life.
You need to overcome your bad, addictive habits, and find a way to develop healthier ones.
There's a complete chapter on how to develop positive, useful habits in your life.
It will help you create a better lifestyle for weight loss.
4.
Focusing on progress and not perfection - I'm a perfectionist.
I like everything to be "just so".
This also means that I'm almost never satisfied as there is always a way to make things better.
If you always strive for perfection, you will never be happy and always be negative.
The real way to get results is to focus on progress and always strive for improvement.
Realize that perfection is never within your grasp and you will become a happier person.
