Have you ever participated in a weight loss programme? You may well have found like so many others that the diet that you embarked upon, coupled with an exercise regimen, worked for you and indeed you did lose your weight. You may have even attained your new goal weight. But did it last? If you are honest, the answer is probably NO.
Statistics in the United States of America indicate that most people who embark on a weight loss programme tend to weigh approximately one kilogram (2.2 pounds) more than they did when they started the programme two years previously! Now that is not to suggest that the diets and exercise programmes do not work. Most of them do.
However, it is the power of your mind that comes into the picture. Where your weight loss programme is being governed by only the left brain, with your right brain being allowed to imagine and emotionalise things to eat or do which do not support your diet and worse still, if your right brain is associating pain with the action steps that you are taking to lose that weight, sooner or later the right brain will overpower the left brain and you will revert to your previous habits.
The danger then is that you may never again embark on a plan to achieve your goals because you do not believe you have the capability. Now this same tendency applies in the pursuit of whatever other goals we may have set for ourselves in our lives. So the key to achieving consistent results in our lives is to get our right and left brains working together for the common goal.
This pre-supposes that effective personal development training must include exercises and activities which are related to the development of the right brain as well as interaction between both the right and left brains so as to achieve the desired congruency and progressively build new goal directed behavioural habits.
