I didn’t see this one coming and I sure didn’t think I would be writing about this.
This story isn’t about losing weight per se. It does mention a method that I have used, successfully I might add, to lose weight.
The important point is here:
For example, researchers asked people to write essays in support of a random point of view they did not hold. Months later, when surveyed, the majority held the opinion they wrote about, regardless of the topic. Once a person commits an opinion to writing – even an opinion he does not hold – it soon becomes his actual opinion. Not every time, but MOST of the time. The people in these experiments weren’t exposed to new information before writing their contrived opinions. All they did was sit down and write an opinion they didn’t actually have, and months later it became their actual opinion. The experiment worked whether the volunteers were writing the pro or the con position on the random topic.
This is what I am doing with this blog, writing down my intentions and making them come true.
