Discover 3 Tips on How to Keep Your Motivation High So You Can Squash Afternoon Mindless Munching

Most of my clients tell me that one of the hardest things for them to overcome is that 3:00 – 5:00pm energy zapper. They feel like falling asleep, yet they have to keep going.

Can you relate?

Are these energy crashes keeping you from achieving your body goals for 2012? Well if that’s the case, I have three tips to keep your motivation at an all-time high so you can squash afternoon munching and keep on-track to achieve your beautiful body:

1. Use Ritual-Segment-Intending:

Most of you knowhave patterns during your day and you know where you’re going to be during your energy zapping times.

One effective tool I use is called Ritual Segment Intending.

If you practice rehearsing how you'd like this time of the day to go over and over in your mind before this difficult time takes place, you will overcome your mindless desire to eat. You will see yourself quickly moving through this thin destroying time with ease.

Just sit down and rehearse how you’d like to see this part of your day. Rehearse it over and over, faster and faster – about 4 times should do the trick.

The next time you want to eat, you will know exactly what to do.

2. Tap Into Your BOLD Body Goal:

When your energy is plummeting, one powerful strategy you can use is to connect to your BOLD Body Goal for 2012 that you’ve created.

Take a moment, close your eyes, breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Relax your body and now focus on your BOLD Body Goal. See your body as though you’ve manifested your ideal we!ght or size and connect to the feeling of being this size.

Upon doing this you will feel renewed motivation and focus – and afternoon eating will be a thing of the past.

3. Do A Few Whole-Body Movements 

Use quick energy increasing movement. 10 squats at your desk, a walk around your office or jumping up and down 10 times will quickly increase blood flow.

Do something with your entire body to increase blood flow to your brain. Doing a little movement will feel fantastic and when you combine whole body movements with one of the above exercises, you will move toward your body goals at lightning speed.
