You think thousands of thoughts each day. You talk to yourself more than
anyone else. You are your most trusted advisor and confidant. Many of
the conversations that you have with yourself you would never share with
anyone else because to do so would expose the “real” you. The you that
is filled with self doubt, worries, sadness, guilt, hurts and
disappointments.
But this is not the “real you” at all. This is the you that your ego and
belief systems have constructed. These negative beliefs have been
constructed by you, and accepted by you as truth. The sad thing is that
nothing can be further from the truth.
Where did these false ideas about you originate? They mostly came from
others; parents, teachers, co-workers, and friends. They might have
planted the seed by saying something like “she is fat” and you have
cultivated those comments to the point that they have become your truth.
You are allowing your entire life to be controlled by some obscure
comments made years ago. Nobody has the right or power to dictate who
you are. Only you know who you truly are and what’s in your heart.
When you were born you entered this world without the burdens of you
current negative belief system. You entered this world as a beautiful
bundle of joy filled with unlimited potential and possibilities.
I’m here to tell you that you have not changed. You are still and will
always be a beautiful bundle of joy with unlimited potential and
possibilities.
The only difference is what you give your attention to. Let me ask you a
question. If you stopped all the negative talk that you currently have
with yourself such as;
– I’m too fat
– Why would anyone want to love me
– I will never be thin
– I always fail
And the list can go on and on… How would you feel ? Do you think that
you would feel emotionally lighter ? Do you think that you would feel
happier ? Do you think that you would feel more confident ?
Now how do you think your life would change if you were to go one step
further and modify your self talk by only speaking positively about
yourself. If you take some time and focus on what you like about
yourself and focus on only that your emotional state will become
positive to the point that you will be able to accomplish anything.
Once you begin looking for the positive things within you, you will be
surprised to realize your magnificence has always been there just below
the surface. You have never been anything other then that shining
bundle of joy that entered the world years ago. It’s easy to uncover
positive aspects of yourself by asking some questions.
– What am I good at?
– Who has benefited by me being in the world?
– Who am I, what is in my heart that only I know?
– What do I like about my body?
Your goal is to feel good now. How do you feel now? If you only
observe what you feel is positive about you, you will feel good, you
will be happy. Decide right here and right now how you want to feel.
Decide that you will always look for the good within you and appreciate
that goodness.
So what does all of this have to do with losing weight? Everything!!!
Your emotional state is the control valve that determines what you draw
into your experience. How you talk to yourself creates your beliefs and
programs your subconscious. So you need to ask yourself do you want
your beliefs and subconscious programming to be based on false negative
thinking. Or do you want your beliefs to be based on the truth, that
you are and always have been a perfect being.
Begin today to love and nurture yourself. Allow the joy, playfulness and
enthusiasm that you naturally had as a child begin to flow into your
everyday experiences. Allow yourself to celebrate each and every
success no matter how small. Love and appreciate yourself every
opportunity you have. Do this everyday and watch your weight begin to
dissolve just as your old negative beliefs about yourself begin to
dissolve.
