When you hear about a 10-week “Best Body Challenge”…

and the possibility of literally losing 25-30+ pounds of body fat while leaning out and getting into the best shape of your life, what is the first thing you think of? What is the first thought that pops into your mind.

Because the above statement is not a dream, a myth, or a cheap marketing promise. But what is required to make the above a reality is a mind-set that most of us do not embody.

If you have ever pushed completely out of your comfort zone past all physical ability you thought you had….but you did it anyways…then you have experienced the amazing ability of the mind. (Click here to see one of the most inspirational videos that demonstrates what I’m talking about) I have had the immense pleasure of working with clients who have an UNSTOPPABLE mindset. Because once your mind is set into action, then everything else is possible.

So as we sit here at the beginning of 2011 and at the beginning of our big “Your Best Body Challenge”, I think addressing mind set is the most crucial step to your success.

What does it mean to have an UNBREAKABLE mindset? I have the pleasure of being connected to some of the most well respected fitness professionals in the country, and one of my favorite pros, Billy Beck III runs an amazing program out of Sunrise Florida. He addresses how crucial mindset is when achieving your goals-health, fitness, and beyond. I’ve taken his article on mindset and included it below because it’s THAT GOOD!

Let’s take a look at the definition of “Unbreakable”.

“impossible to break; able to withstand rough usage; able to withstand an attempt to break”

This is a mindset where no one or no thing can faze you. A flat tire becomes a minor inconvenience. Harsh words and negativity from others are like throwing pebbles at a tank. You become bullet-proof, impenetrable to outside forces.

You are in complete control and you do not have to wait. This mindset can be developed by anyone at anytime.

But Take Fare Warning: This is not a permanent state.

Just like exercising your muscles and body, you have to do the same thing with your mind. However, if you consistently and relentlessly challenge it then it will emerge stronger and more powerful with greater ability to overcome adversity and rein triumphant.

3 Steps to master your mind and become UNBREAKABLE:

1. DECIDE exactly what you want.

This is huge. Meandering around with an idea will do nothing to move you forward. But making an acute and exact decision on exactly what you want to accomplish will make it happen. In last weeks blog I gave you a homework assignment in order to get very clear with your decision to change your body. If you haven’t done it yet, do not delay. Go to it right now. Action is key.

Abraham Maslow, a legendary psychologist, introduced the six basic human needs. One of those human needs is the need and desire to grow and achieve. Most of the world’s population, squander their time on meaningless activities like television, surfing the internet or gossiping about others. If you want to live greatly then you must define what you want.

I have a client who came to me about a year ago and during our first consultation she knew exactly what she wanted to change, from the excess fat in her abdomen to her shaky arms to intense desire to become more fit. Within 14 weeks she had accomplished it all.

2. VISUALIZE with intense desire.

What you see in your mind and what you think about constantly is exactly what will show up in your life.

Every time.

I highly recommend putting your goals and vision in front of you every day. Put a picture of you on the fridge, post-its on the mirror, at your desk, and in your car.

And to take it even further, each day spend time visualizing that you’ve already reached your goals. What it feels like, looks like, tastes like. Make the movies so vivid in your mind that it’s as if you are actually living it. The word “obsessive” gets a bad rap, but when you are envisioning your path and destination, then being obsessive will serve you.

3. UNLEASH all hell on your goals.

This is where we seem to fall short. I see the best intentions in the world go down the toilet because of lack of action. Albert Einstein once said, “Never mistake motion with action.” A lot people are busy. Yet being busy is not the goal. You must take specific actions towards the goal. The answer is not to sit around and read a book about it. No, the answer is to ATTACK! Decide what you want. Then see and feel what it will look like once you have it. Do this always and really feel it! Then do whatever it takes to get it. Take Action! Unleash Hell! Be Relentless…never, never, never quit!
