I was out this weekend ice skating with some friends, and what a funny site it was to see a bunch of us bumbling our way through the ice, falling around like bowling pins on a bowling alley. However, amidst the clashing of elbows and buttocks hitting the ice every few minutes or so, there was a little girl skating with amazing beauty and grace. Watching her, we all could tell that she was fully involved and having fun while skating with an ease that reminded me of 2002 Winter Olympics gold medal winner, Sarah Hughes. Do you remember her?
Well, as we watched her skating it encouraged me to put out an article that I wrote for a fitness magazine that year.
Sarah Hughes looked amazingly graceful as she skated to Gold in the 2002 Winter Olympics. It was incredible watching her as she looked smooth with the grace of a professional ballerina on stage. Although, she was beautiful to watch, part of her success may have been a result of the nervousness that was evident in Michelle Kwan during practice.
When the cameras were filming Sarah's routine, it looked as if she had the confidence of a veteran twice her age. She skated with an ease and grace that mesmerized everyone watching her that night. Everybody was pinned to watching her routine as if completely spell bound by her charm. Unfortunately, after Sarah's wonderful routine we got were watching Michelle Kwan being her routine, and what we saw on her face and body was a complete opposite of the confidence and calm exhibited in Sarah's routine.
From the start of her performance, you could instantly notice a tightness in Kwan that was not evident during her warm ups. I'm no expert in the field of skating, but I am an expert in with understanding the subconscious mind, and in my opinion, I have an idea of what kept Michelle from reaching the Gold.
From Kwan's first jump, you can tell her muscles were so tight it looked like she was carrying a backpack full of lead on her back. My thoughts on this were quickly enforced by the announcers comments
When you get to this top level, you have to have everything in order to win the Gold. That includes, eating well, sleeping enough hours and preparing your mind. Michelle Kwan seemed to have everything, however, she may kept with her a voice that has plagued her since the Olympics in Nagano, Japan 4 years earlier.
So what in God's grace could have affected Michelle that night?
Michelle must have been prepared for this as she's probably completed those jumps hundreds of times before in practice. But the times in which she may have failed at those attempts coupled with the event in Nagano, Japan, may have put so much pressure on her that a nagging little voice might have whispered in her mind "I can't do this. My legs feel too heavy, and I don't want to fail again."
We all have that little voice that gets in our way from time to time. Think about how many times you may have said to yourself some not so nice things like, "oh, I'm too fat I can't lose weight, there's so much good food around me that I can't drop a pound, I just don't have any time for exercise." Sounding familiar?
How did this voice come into existence?
That annoying voice has actually, in a twisted way been trying to protect you from feeling bad. Only thing is it did such a good job that it kept you from even trying in the first place so that you wouldn't feel bad (I'll discuss this in more detail in volume 3 of this article)
The obvious problem in this predicament is that with repetition and/or the right circumstances you accept that little voice and it becomes your reality no matter how much conscious effort and analytical thought you put into trying to change your behavior.
However, unwittingly you may have enforced this nagging little voice with conscious rationalizing thoughts about not being able to lose weight, like, my whole family is heavy, I come from line of big boned individuals, 1 percent of the population has a true genetic defect that can't make them lose weight and maybe I'm one of them."
Ok, so this voice is here. How can you break this wave of unconscious thoughts and behaviours? Through HYPNOSIS! Using this amazing technology you can find these old patterns and rip them out to create new ways of thinking and behaving.
So what do you need to start? First, let's give you a basic understanding of your conscious and subconscious minds and how they work in relation to each other or apart from one another. In the next volume of this article, I'll teach you about how the conscious mind.
In chapter 3, I'll talk about the subconscious mind and it's relation to hypnosis so you can learn self-hypnosis.
I'll even teach you how to use affirmations in a way that helps you "take out the old garbage" before you fill it with seeds of change.
But to get started, keep in mind that your thoughts have energy to create and manifest your behaviours and thus your reality.
You do have the power to make your thoughts positive, and this will inevitably lead to your success. Remember the lessons of Michele Kwan and don't let a nagging little voice keep you from the "Gold".
