One-Day Miracles

By Michael Steven Purles

Think differently to master your weight - think yourself thin. Bring an end to the “yo-yo” cycle of losing weight, regaining it, losing it again . . .

One-Day Miracles has done what you would do – convert brain change science into proven effective and simple to use tools for long-term weight-mastery.
Long-term weight loss has two critical steps:
1.First, change your brain and thoughts, then
2.You can change your body

It is time to end temporary weight loss efforts. Any program that does not inspire and instruct in brain change is doomed to provide only temporary assistance. Change your brain and use its remarkable abilities to become the master of your weight.
Every action and behavior begins with a thought. You actually create your actions and yourself in your mind before you do in your body. With easy-to-use brain science tools, you will recreate yourself through a change in your thoughts, actions, and habits. In fact, this is the process required in all self improvement.

Remarkable personal advances can take place in a single day for lifestyle change. This guide focuses on the processes and tools needed to change your thoughts and brain for weight-mastery, a day at a time, the way we all live. You will be guided in the daily use of these 10 mental exercises to “think yourself thin.”
1.Goal creation: where are you going?
2.Success commitment: casual or determined?
3.Creative visualization: what you think about is what you do, virtual brain change
4.Brain change: rewiring your brain for healthy behaviors
5.Patience: necessary component of personal power
6.Willpower: persistent use of healthy processes
7.Give: to receive powerful personal support
8.Acquiring energy: fill your “batteries” from all of life’s power sources
9.Eliminate: self-sabotaging thoughts
10.Think: like a “naturally thin” person

One-Day Miracles is the mentoring guide you need to change your brain and master your weight for the long-term.

Acknowledgements

The search to find a solution to the yo-yo pattern of weight loss and weight gain, that has afflicted such a large portion of our population, has been a rewarding collaborative effort.

The solution required a holistic approach, integrating the physiological processes required for good health with the actual processes required for brain and lifestyle habit change. Bringing these points of light together from the different areas of health science was and continues to be a very exciting journey.

This innovative and effective program could not have been accomplished without the dedicated efforts of:

Robert B. Jones, D.C., F.A.S.A., director of the Utah Wellness Institute

Bernell L. Christensen, Ph.D., LMFT, director of Maximum Potential

David G. Cobb, certified fitness consultant and national trainer

This dedicated service produced the experience and understanding needed to bring this integrated, science-based program to the general public in an effective self-help format. I am most grateful for their invaluable contributions.

Chapter 1 - Preface

Any self-improvement effort, whether long-term weight loss or other personal growth goal, must be developed through a process we call dual creation. This regimen has only two steps, but each is vital and must be completed in proper order. You change or improve yourself . . .

First, in your mind

Second, in the physical world

All self-improvement occurs in your mind, in your thoughts, before you begin the physical actions that bring it about.

This book is a guide for step one in how to literally change your brain and your thoughts, leading to success. We have focused on weight-mastery, but the processes and tools are exactly what are needed for any self-improvement effort. The title, One-Day Miracles, Change Your Brain to Master Your Weight, could be Change Your Brain to Master Your Social Skills or any other goal.

Since this book is a guide for brain change, it does not include the training and recommendations for the biological requirements of optimal physical health. You won’t find recipes and fitness exercises in this work. There are many sources of healthful information available to you for the second step of dual creation.

When you have completed your study of this instruction, if you desire an integrated approach for both steps of dual creation, we have a program that may fit your needs. The last chapter, From Thought to Action will provide additional information regarding it. Until then, it is time to begin to change your brain.

Chapter 2 - Introduction

Any diet or weight loss program that does not inspire and create brain change is doomed to failure for the long term.

It has been estimated that dieters will regain two thirds of the lost weight in the first year and 95% of them will regain all of it and usually more by the end of the fifth year. Our experience with overweight and obese clients is consistent with this estimation. Perhaps this mirrors your personal experience as well with the weight loss challenge.

Our clients, nearly without exception, say that they have tried everything and can’t keep the lost weight from returning. They also express profound frustration with
