Weight Control - Goal Setting

Take some time to settle down.

You can sit or lie down as long as you're comfortable.

Do that now.

Make sure you're comfortable.

Take a gentle,

Deep breath in.

And as you breathe out,

Close your eyes.

Allow your eyes to close.

And you can allow your eyes to remain comfortably closed throughout this entire recording,

Knowing that you can open them at any time if you wish.

In a moment,

I'm going to guide you down into relaxation.

The secret to relaxation is simply not to try.

Just allow whatever is happening to happen.

And enjoy the experience.

And as you settle down into relaxation,

You can slowly begin to turn your attention to your breathing.

Notice the flow of your breath in and out.

In and out.

You may notice a difference in temperature between the in-breath and the out-breath.

In and down.

Up and out.

In and down.

Up and out.

Place one hand gently on your chest and one hand gently on your stomach over the belly button.

Begin to breathe a little deeper now.

Just a little deeper.

And as you inhale,

Expand your stomach out a little.

Just a little.

And as you breathe out,

Let your stomach move back in.

Don't try.

Just allow.

As you inhale,

Expand your stomach out a little.

Just a little.

As you breathe out,

Let your stomach move back in.

And notice how as you breathe out,

You relax a little.

You deepen a little.

You sink down a little more.

Spend a few moments allowing each out-breath to relax you further.

Every out-breath relaxing you.

Every out-breath taking you deeper.

Imagine every out-breath is guiding you down into relaxation.

The music,

Your breathing,

And the sound of my voice helping you to drift deeper.

If it feels comfortable and natural,

Place the tip of your tongue onto the roof of your mouth just behind the teeth and allow the flow of your breathing to continue.

Be gentle with yourself.

Don't try.

Just allow.

Imagine that with every out-breath,

Your legs and feet are relaxing.

With every out-breath,

Your legs and feet are getting heavier.

Imagine that with every out-breath,

Your arms and hands are relaxing.

With every out-breath,

Your arms and hands are becoming heavier.

Imagine that with every out-breath,

Your upper body is relaxing.

With every out-breath,

Your upper body is getting heavier.

Imagine that with every out-breath,

Your neck and shoulders are relaxing.

With every out-breath,

Your neck and shoulders are becoming heavier.

Imagine that with every out-breath,

Your entire body is relaxing.

With every out-breath,

Your entire body is becoming heavier.

Imagine that with every out-breath,

Your face is relaxing.

With every out-breath,

Your face is softening.

Spend a few moments allowing your breathing to take you a little deeper down relaxed.

As your breathing continues to slow,

You are now aware of how easy this process is and how relaxed you are becoming.

The deeper you go,

The deeper you choose to go.

Any unnecessary,

Unneeded discomfort is simply melting away,

Leaving your body.

And as your body continues to relax at its own pace,

So your mind is becoming more and more aware of the sound of my voice.

The sound of my voice that stays with you now,

No matter where you drift,

No matter where you go.

If you haven't already,

You can move your hands into a more comfortable position and allow your breathing to find its own depth and rhythm.

Allow your hands to move into a comfortable position and allow your breathing to find its own depth and rhythm.

In a moment,

I'm going to count down from 10 to 1.

I would like you to time your exhalation to coincide with the countdown,

But don't be concerned if the timing is slightly off.

It's the procedure that counts.

So ready.

Take a gentle,

Deep breath in and turn.

Exhale.

Sinking deeper and deeper.

Take a gentle,

Deep breath in and.

.

Exhale.

Heavier and heavier.

Take a gentle,

Deep breath in and 8.

Exhale.

Slower and slower.

Take a gentle,

Deep breath in and 7.

Exhale.

Take a deep breath in and 8.

Exhale.

Take a gentle,

Deep breath in and 6.

Exhale.

Sinking down now.

Another gentle,

Deep breath in and 5.

Exhale.

Deeper and deeper.

A gentle,

Deep breath in and 4.

Exhale.

Allowing it to happen.

A gentle,

Deep breath in and 3.

Exhale.

A gentle,

Deep breath in and 2.

Exhale.

Heavier and heavier.

And one more gentle,

Deep breath in and 1.

Exhale.

All the way down.

Deep,

Down relaxed.

As you allow your breathing to find its own depth and rhythm.

And each exhalation takes you deeper and deeper.

As I talk now to your unconscious mind about a matter of importance.

To you.

You have decided to change your body shape.

You have decided to regain control of your body shape.

To regain control of your weight.

To regain control of the way you feel energetically.

Of the way you feel emotionally.

To regain control of the way you feel physically.

Take a moment or two now to move yourself forward in time.

Imagine moving forward in time now.

Take yourself to a time when you have reached your goal.

See yourself having reached your goal.

Have a good look.

You have the body shape you have always wanted to have.

You are the weight you have always wanted to be.

You are healthy.

You are slim.

You are energized.

You have reached your goal.

Look at yourself now.

The future you.

Notice what you are wearing.

How the clothes fit you.

Notice how you are standing.

Notice how you hold yourself.

How much younger you look.

How much fitter you look.

Notice how much stronger you look.

How wonderful you look.

Now imagine stepping inside the future you.

Step inside your new body.

Every part of you becoming the future you.

Transforming.

Changing.

Feel now how the clothes hang on you.

How does that make you feel?

Feel how you are standing.

How does this make you feel?

Feel how you hold yourself.

How does this make you feel?

Feel your fitness and vitality.

How does this make you feel?

Feel your strength and power.

How do they make you feel?

Feel the shape of your body.

How does this make you feel?

Feel that you are at your perfect weight.

How does this make you feel?

And now really feel the sense of achievement.

Really feel the sense of pride.

Really feel your sense of accomplishment.

Really feel your sense of happiness.

Really feel the positive energy.

This is the new you.

The you of the not too distant future.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to ask the future successful you how you achieved your goal?

It's easy.

Let's ask the future you some questions.

Ask the future you to tell you and show you what foods to eat and when to eat it.

And listen for the answer.

Ask the future you about drinking the right amount of water.

And listen for the answer.

Ask the future you about what exercises or sports to do.

And listen for the answer.

Ask the future you how you dealt with old eating habits.

And listen for the answer.

Ask the future you any other questions you need to ask.

And listen for the answer.

Allow all the answers to your questions to sink deeply within you.

Allow all the information to become part of you.

Part of your everyday life.

These answers from your future successful self are changing the way you think about eating.

Changing the way you think about water.

Changing the way you think about exercise.

Changing the way you act and react to life's ups and downs on a daily basis.

You are now on the right path.

Heading in the right direction.

You realise that your future self has set you on a journey.

A journey to health,

Wellbeing,

Success,

Your perfect weight,

Your perfect body shape,

Your perfect energy levels.

You have patience now.

Calm and relaxed determination.

Nothing can shake it.

You go on patiently day to day.

Remembering your future self's answers and instructions.

Remembering how it feels to have achieved your goals.

How wonderful your future self feels.

And every day,

In its own way,

Is a success.

A step in the right direction.

You become accustomed to this feeling of success.

And every day,

You thank your future self for the right answers,

The perfect motivation and the gift of being back in control.

You are always in control.

You can just drift down now.

Drift down into sleep.

Your mind can wander into dreams.

Your body relaxing as you drift deeper down.

Deeper down into sleep.
