Set Your Fat Loss Goals With Passion
By Scott Tousignant, BHK, CFC
What you are about to read is an excerpt from an interview that I did with Dax Moy from the MP3 audio program, Unstoppable Fat Loss. If you adopt the mindset that we cover below and apply it to your workouts and nutrition plan, you can expect success and amazing results.
Scott: When we talk about fat loss, or usually when people approach me for fat loss advice the most common things they're asking me is for the best fitness program, the best diet out there, and very rarely does anyone mention how can I set powerful goals? How can I change my mindset? How can I overcome these obstacles?
And when I mention it to them, and the very first thing I usually do with my personal training clients is sit down with them and really look at what's been holding them back. Set some goals. And a lot of them just kind of look at me with this blank stare, and some of them will sometimes think "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've heard that, I know I need to set goals, let's just get on with the workout, come on. Beat me up here right now, I know that's what can get me there."
Do you have an explanation or some reason why so many people just brush off the power of the mind? Really there is so much research and evidence of how powerful the mind is and not just in recent years. These secrets have been around for over a century now, but really right now just coming out into the main stream, but people are still brushing it off and saying "Oh, I know that."
Dax: That's an excellent question. It's a question I actually have spent years and years trying to get to the bottom of. Because the fact is you just stated, there's tons of evidence, there's tons of research whether you look in science or theology or philosophy. Every single branch of human development is saying, ultimately, that we are teleological organisms. We need to learn things and progress towards something in order to feel fulfilled.
And yet when it comes to trying to achieve, in many respects we set mundane goals. Trying to kind of get a little bit fitter, or get rid of a little bit of body fat. People are far more than just not seeking goals. Most people I think are almost anti‑goals. And the only explanation I can give you is quite simply that people don't believe that by focusing on the mind they can actually change their body.
You know, Napoleon Hill said if you can conceive of something, and you can believe in it, then you can achieve it. We can all conceive of things, but we don't necessarily believe in those things that we can conceive. So instead of following through on the power of the mind and saying: "Well hey, you know what, I'm going to set myself something clear to focus on, and then I'm going to put a lot of my emotional energy, and a lot of my intent, and a lot of my belief behind it and really make this happen for me."
People are kind of scared to do that, because it's almost like an investment. Just in the same way as you may not want to invest in a stock or a share that you're not really sure is going to mature in the way you want it to, I think that a lot of people are scared to invest in themselves, and in their dreams and in their goals. Because in the past they've used faulty strategy to bring them about, and now they've got a false message saying you know what, every time you really commit yourself to a goal there is a huge chance that you're going to screw up and your not going to get there.
So do you know what? I'm not going to commit to the mental side of this, I'm not going to invest a lot of my hopes and my dreams into it. What I'll do instead is I'll try and do this based on logic. Logic dictates there is an A, B, C, and D, let me just follow A, B, C, and D, and eventually I should arrive at my destination. And the problem is, logic in itself is not a very effective motivator.
Nothing in your life Scott that you want, nothing in your life that you like, nothing in your life that you feel passionate about is based in logic. You can't explain any of those things in logic. You just like them, you just love them, you just want them. OK? It's based in the heart, it's based in passion.
Most people are not setting goals because they are not use to actually exposing their passion to anyone. Because I think that a lot of societies that have become extremely limited. It's almost embarrassing to share your passion with anyone.
I'm not going to share my passion with you because if I share it with Scott and I share it with all these readers on the telephone right now then in some way maybe I'm weakening myself. So I won't share my passion, what I'll do is instead is I'll share some of my logic with you. And my logic says I'm a bit fat, so I want to lose some weight. I mean if that makes sense?
Scott: Oh yeah.
Dax: And that's what I think a lot of people are operating from. And it's the people in life, I've done a massive study of successful people. Not just when it comes to exercise and fitness and fat loss, but when it comes to all areas of life. And the one thing that successful people have in common is that they have passion.
And the other thing that those successful people have in common is they're not embarrassed by their passion. I always say to people if you're not in a position to say your goal out loud, to actually put it out of your mouth and you feel a bit embarrassed to say.
Well actually I'll share with you my purpose right here on the telephone call. My major purpose in life is to have a positive impact on the lives of every person I come into contact with, that's my major purpose. I'm not embarrassed by it.
Scott: Right.
Dax: I'm not saying: "God does that sound conceited, does that sound, I don't know, strange in some way or weird? Is Dax Moy out there and is he gone all flaky?" It's almost irrelevant what you or the other people that are going to listen to this call are thinking. I am confident and I am passionate about my goal. Which means for me I'm able to take steps toward it every single day.
Now if you and your listeners are not in a place where they're able to stand up and say, you know what, this is my goal and I'm going to tell you because I'm absolutely passionate about it. If they're not at that point yet then maybe they’re not quite ready to pursue it completely. You've got to get people to the point where they are so passionate about their goals they can bring it into the real world. It has to come out of your mouth.
In answer to your question, ultimately what I'm saying is that I think the reason so many people are brushing off the power of the mind is quite simply that they are scared to unleash their passion and their scared to unleash their passion because they're scared of either outright failing, or they're scared of what people are going to think. They are absolutely terrified. Oh god, are you going to think I'm a weirdo?
Scott: Right, right.
Dax: Are going to think I'm strange for saying this?
Scott: And it's disappointing and discouraging that people aren't able to put themselves out on the line and they are in this constant fear of “I'm afraid that other people will see me fail.” And I do find that the most successful people, they we're not afraid of failure. We're able to put ourselves on the line. And if the goal doesn't come to reality when we're hoping, when we plan for it to come out, we just learn from that and move on, and it doesn't really bother us what other people think because we're still driving for that goal.
