What determines human behavior and in particular your eating
behavior? I have yet to come across a psychiatrist, psychologist
or physician who can answer this question, yet this is the most
fundamental question if you wish to initiate lasting permanent
behavior change. If you can not answer this question, how could
you possibly expect to help someone make a change in there diet
or insure permanent weight loss? How can you move forward if you
do not definitively know what is moving you forward. What
determines human behavior and in particular your eating behavior
is simply information. Can you do anything in your life without
talking to yourself or seeing a picture of what you need to do?
Of course not! It would be a little bit like trying to read from
a blank page. No information = no action!
The next question is: What are the components of this
information? The components of the information that determines
your emotional state and behavior are words and pictures. The
next logical question then is how do you Recognize, Access and
Change the information that is driving a behavior that simply
does not work? This is where over 20 years of research and
development come in with a program process now known as Burris
MIND/FITNESS. MIND/FITNESS answers the last question with great
precision and accuracy by virtue of starting out with the first
two questions. In the resolution of any problem it is always
about the question. Never has this been more relevant. Imagine
if for the last 60 years psychologists asked, How can I fix it?
instead of Why is it broken?!
Why You Absolutely Must Take Control of Your Subconscious
To give you an idea of the power of the subconscious, you can
speak at a rate of about two to three hundred words per minute.
Your subconscious runs at a rate of about one thousand to twelve
hundred words per minute which is about four times faster than
you can speak. This is why you can talk on the phone and perform
other tasks like typing on the computer or driving a car because
the subconscious is already programmed to do the other tasks.
You can look at the conscious mind and the subconscious mind
like a tug of war with a vat of mud in the middle for whom ever
loses. The conscious mind is one-person on one side against the
subconscious, which are four people on the other side. If the
conscious decides to move in a different direction like changing
your diet, losing weight, increasing your fitness program,
quitting smoking or any number of other things, it is usually a
losing proposition because you are simply out numbered with
information. This is why it is so difficult to attain
spontaneous change. Burris MIND/FITNESS will to make sure you
have the most people on your side in the tug of war.
Burris MIND/FITNESS is based on the reality that all behavior is
emotionally driven or in other words your emotional state = your
behavior. How you feel about things you do will always determine
whether you move toward them or not. You will always move toward
perceived pleasure and away from pain. The key component of any
behavioral change program must include how to get control of
your emotional state. So what is the biggest difference between
MIND/FITNESS and any other behavioral change program? The
question MIND/FITNESS asks is: How can I fix it? as opposed to
Why is it broken?
Example: If you get a flat tire on your car, do you want to walk
back down the road to find out why you got the flat or do you
want to know how to fix it so that you can keep moving forward?
It is certainly not necessary to spend the last 40 years of your
life analyzing the first 40 years of your life.
It is imperative that you understand how to take control of the
subconscious because the mind is like a car without an off
switch and an unknown driver, if you do not predetermine the
destination. If you decide not drive it, it is going to drive
itself or someone else may get in the seat and drive it for you.
Someone else driving might be ok if you agree to where they are
going but what if you do not like where they are going?
For the first eighteen years of your life someone else drove the
car. This was usually with little or no consideration to the
younger passengers. Almost every decision was made for you. You
were told what to do, what to eat and learned how to react to
any given situation. All of this information is stored in the
subconscious and will arise randomly to determine your life's
path.
There are also a tremendous number of variables that can occur
in your initial programming that may have little to do with your
parents. The bottom line still remains. Do you, at some point,
want to drive or do you want to continue letting someone or
something else drive?
Regardless of weather your goal is a change in diet for weight
loss, an increase in your fitness program or to take control of
an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia. In the end the
question you need to ask yourself is...Am I completely happy
with the mind running itself or do I need to take control of it?
If your answer is I need to take control of it, then Burris
MIND/FITNESS is the answer and the ultimate self help program.
