A review of success and failure \n" ); document.write( " reveals startling culprits; one of them is consistency—a leading \n" ); document.write( " cause of failure in business and other areas of life is consistency. \n" ); document.write( " You may think you want to succeed but another part of you believes \n" ); document.write( " more consistently in failure—a form of self-sabotage. If you \n" ); document.write( " want change, you have to apply the same principles that pertain \n" ); document.write( " to that goal—consistently. If you want your blood cholesterol \n" ); document.write( " levels to maintain their same high levels, keep eating cheeseburgers \n" ); document.write( " or something equally as deadly. In this manner, you will have demonstrated \n" ); document.write( " a consistency for success at raising your cholesterol levels. You \n" ); document.write( " can’t begin with a positive goal, apply successful principles \n" ); document.write( " to achieve the goal, then drop your focus and expect positive results. \n" ); document.write( " Consistency is the key to the success, including your success at \n" ); document.write( " failing anything you attempt to accomplish. Let’s take a look \n" ); document.write( " at what you want to change and relate it to this idea.

\n" ); document.write( "

You’re overweight and you \n" ); document.write( " want to change. You pick a diet out of the plethora available: South \n" ); document.write( " Beach, Atkins, etc., and for four days you do well, then suddenly \n" ); document.write( " you change lanes—you convince yourself one Milk Dud won’t \n" ); document.write( " hurt and wind up eating a whole box. Now you view the diet as ruined, \n" ); document.write( " and you feel like you might as well eat what you want for the rest \n" ); document.write( " of that day and start the diet fresh the next. The next day isn’t \n" ); document.write( " any better than the first and each day that follows you feel worse \n" ); document.write( " about yourself. You succumb to various defeating attitudes: it’s \n" ); document.write( " too hard to lose the weight... your gene pool is working against \n" ); document.write( " you losing weight... you’ll have to starve to lose the weight...\n" ); document.write( " you have no will power... you are worthless. You give up entirely, \n" ); document.write( " filled with self-loathing and wait for the next surge of weight-loss \n" ); document.write( " promises to hit the market.

Okay. Your diet didn’t succeed, \n" ); document.write( " but you had several things working against you. Can you see what \n" ); document.write( " they were? Obviously, a consistent focus on dietary change was absent, \n" ); document.write( " but there was one other thing standing in the way of your success: your \n" ); document.write( " beliefs about success. You consistently applied negative beliefs \n" ); document.write( " about yourself, weight, and dieting, to your dieting regime and \n" ); document.write( " Milk Dud transgression, and with that consistency, your reward was \n" ); document.write( " failure. Take a piece of paper and fold it in half, creasing the \n" ); document.write( " fold to create a sharp edge; now, fold it again and again until \n" ); document.write( " it has numerous folds and creases. Open it fully, and lay it flat \n" ); document.write( " on the table and rub your hand over all of the creases to flatten \n" ); document.write( " it out. Did the creases disappear? No, those creases have become \n" ); document.write( " a part of the texture of the paper; they are now part of the paper’s \n" ); document.write( " personality. Apply this same idea to your beliefs about dieting \n" ); document.write( " (and all other areas of your life that may need an adjustment). \n" ); document.write( " Each crease represents a belief, supportive or self-sabotaging, \n" ); document.write( " that has become so much a part of you, you don’t appear to \n" ); document.write( " be able to rid yourself of the affect it is having in your life.

Here’s a weight-loss tip: \n" ); document.write( " lasting change can occur by converting each negative and sabotaging \n" ); document.write( " belief to one that is supportive of you and your goals. Dieting \n" ); document.write( " is no exception. The very word \"diet\" has a negative \n" ); document.write( " connotation to most of us. We tend to believe it isn’t going \n" ); document.write( " to be a fun experience. How many people do you know who wake up \n" ); document.write( " in the morning, stretch, and with a smile proclaim to the universe, \n" ); document.write( " "I’m happy and excited to be dieting today"? Probably \n" ); document.write( " not many. But you can turn your diet attempts into a weight-loss \n" ); document.write( " success story. It is possible to choose to view the process differently, \n" ); document.write( " to embrace the idea that you are doing something positive, just \n" ); document.write( " for yourself. It is not only possible, but imperative that you give \n" ); document.write( " yourself a break about your weight, your success and failure with \n" ); document.write( " diets, and change all of the negative body image beliefs and self-talk \n" ); document.write( " to a supportive rather than self-sabotaging script. "I am \n" ); document.write( " happy and excited that I’m eating what is supportive of my \n" ); document.write( " body type." "I accept that there are times when chocolate \n" ); document.write( " mousse appeals to me more than salmon, and I believe if I satisfy \n" ); document.write( " that urge occasionally, and start right back on my healthy eating \n" ); document.write( " routine, no harm is done." "I am a healthy, happy, and \n" ); document.write( " slender human being, and I feel good about my new eating style and \n" ); document.write( " my slender me."

\n" ); document.write( "

Positive beliefs and self-talk, \n" ); document.write( " applied consistently to any circumstance, will yield positive results. \n" ); document.write( " Dare to succeed. Don’t beat yourself up for an occasional \n" ); document.write( " choice outside of the healthy plan you are pursuing—just jump \n" ); document.write( " back into your healthy and desired eating. Look at your old patterns, \n" ); document.write( " based on useless beliefs you’ve carried around for a lifetime \n" ); document.write( " that no longer serve you. Pack up all the old beliefs and get rid \n" ); document.write( " of them! Replace those beliefs with new, supportive beliefs, while \n" ); document.write( " you shop for the new and smaller clothing you’ll be needing \n" ); document.write( " soon! You are as powerful and successful at everything you desire, \n" ); document.write( " as you believe you are. Make that belief the one you live by! Apply \n" ); document.write( " it consistently and happily, all the way to the positive outcome \n" ); document.write( " you are sure to experience.
