We have been living on the wrong assumptions and philosophies. We have been using the wrong road map.<\/p>\n<p>If you were trying to get around Boston, and you were using a map of Chicago, you will end up being very lost and confused.<\/p>\n<p>The same applies with us and our minds, if we are seeking to be physically fit but the map in our mind is allowing us to eat Big Mac&#8217;s at McDonald&#8217;s for every meal, we end up out of shape and very unhappy.<\/p>\n<p>If we are seeking to be financially independent, but the map in our mind is allowing us to spend every penny we earn plus a little more, we end up broke at the end of our life time.<\/p>\n<p>This is why it is very important to unplugged our auto pilot as often as we can and examine the programming.<\/p>\n<p>I will give you a quick example:<\/p>\n<p>I have been fighting the battle of the bulge for most of my adult life. And I have been up and down in weight so often I feel like a yo-yo. I knew in my heart that I was out of shape and I constantly tried to get in shape.<\/p>\n<p>I would do well for a time and I would get to a certain level of fitness and then it would all stop! I would start engaging in the activity that brought me right back up to the weight I was trying to get away from.<\/p>\n<p>I got very frustrated with this!<\/p>\n<p>Well this time around, I decided to use a program called <strong><em><a title=\"Lee Milteer's Habit Busting System\" href=\"http:\/\/www.habitbustingsystem.com\" target=\"_blank\">Lee Milteer&#8217;s Habit Busting System<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, to see if I could make some lasting changes with this effort.<\/p>\n<p>Well I was doing very well with my efforts and I had gotten down to a weight that I had previously achieved many times and I was very happy.<\/p>\n<p>One day I was looking in the mirror and a little voice inside my head said, &#8220;Be careful&#8230; You don&#8217;t want to get too skinny!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I was shocked&#8230; for two reasons:<\/p>\n<p>1. I caught that little voice in my head.<\/p>\n<p>2. I remembered where that little thought came from. As a kid I was teased relentlessly by my grandmother and aunts about being skinny and I hated it. I hated it so much that I showed them most of my adult life that I was not skinny!<\/p>\n<p>I showed them&#8230; right????<\/p>\n<p>This is how it happens, we develop voices in our heads that constantly talk to us and guide our actions&#8230; subconsciously!!!<\/p>\n<p>I am happy to report that I have lost another 10 pounds from my previous best and I have developed habits both physically and nutritionally that I feel will serve me for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n<p>The funny thing is now, if I find myself off course with my eating, I get the knee jerk reaction to get back on course <strong><em>instead of staying off course.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We can apply this in every area of our lives and I highly recommend that you check out <strong><em><a title=\"Lee Milteer's Habit Busting System\" href=\"http:\/\/www.habitbustingsystem.com\" target=\"_blank\">Lee Milteer&#8217;s Habit Busting System<\/a> <\/em><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">, I think you will find it very useful to help reprogram your auto pilot.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">As Always, Here&#8217;s to Your LifetoSuccess,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">John Clark<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This series has really challenged me in my life.
