You think a thousand thoughts every day. You talk to yourself more than anyone else. You are your most trusted advisor and confidant. You never share many of the conversations you have with yourself with others because doing so brings out the "real" you. You who are filled with self-doubt, anxiety, sadness, guilt, pain and disappointments.
But that's not the "real you" at all. This is you, built by your ego and belief systems. These negative beliefs have been constructed by you and accepted as true by you. The sad thing is that nothing could be further from the truth.
Where did these misconceptions about you come from? Often they came from others; parents, teachers, colleagues and friends. They may have planted the seed by saying something like "fat" and you developed these comments until they became your reality.
You are letting your whole life be controlled by some vague comments made years ago. No one has the right or power to dictate who you are. Only you know who you really are and what's in your heart.
When you were born, you entered this world without the burdens of your existing negative belief system. You entered this world as a beautiful bundle of joy, full of unlimited potential and possibilities.
I'm here to tell you that you haven't changed. You will still and 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 have stopped all negative conversations with yourself right now;
- I'm too fat
– Why would anyone want to love me?
- I will never be weak
- i always fail
And the list could go on… How do you feel? Do you think you will feel lighter emotionally? Think you will feel happier? Do you think you will feel more secure?
Now, how do you think your life would change if you took it a step further and changed your self-talk by only speaking positively about yourself? If you take some time and focus on what you like about yourself and only then your emotional state will become positive and you will be able to achieve anything.
When you start looking for the positive things within you, you will be surprised to realize that your magnificence is always just below the surface. You have become nothing but that shining bundle of joy that entered the world years ago. It's easy to bring out the positive aspects of yourself by asking some questions.
- What am I good at?
– Who has benefited from my being in the world?
– Who am I, what is in my heart that only I know?
– What do I love about my body?
Your goal is to feel good now. How do you feel now? If you only observe what you think is positive about you, you will feel good, you will be happy. Decide how you want to feel right here and right now. Decide that you will always seek the good in you and you will appreciate that goodness.
So what does all this have to do with losing weight? Everything!!! Your emotional state is the control valve that determines what you attract into your experience. How you talk to yourself creates your beliefs and programs your subconscious. So you have to ask yourself if you want your beliefs and subliminal programming to be based on false negative thinking. Or do you want your beliefs to be based on the fact that you are a perfect being and have always been a perfect being?
Start loving and nurturing yourself today. Let the joy, fun, and enthusiasm you naturally had as a child flow into your daily experiences. Allow yourself to celebrate every success, no matter how small. Love and appreciate every opportunity you have. Do this every day and watch your weight begin to dissipate, just as old negative beliefs about yourself begin to dissolve.
