Your Subconscious Mind is a Storehouse

Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality.

The Importance of Planning

I got a wonderful comment from one of the readers of my newsletter, Laura, about my last article, "Oops, Why Did I Eat That?"

Laura wrote that what made the most sense to her was the reminder to plan ahead. She said it reminded her of a quote from
Alan Aiken, a Harvard MBA who does training on time management. His remark is, "Failure to plan is planning to fail." I love it! Isn't that true in so many areas of our life?

I believe that understanding this concept is the difference between someone who is successful at weight management and someone who isn't. Failing to plan is not a sign of some inborn deficiency -- it's simply a mistake that needs to be corrected to achieve the results you desire.
