I was recently teaching a workshop on the interaction of mindfulness, compassion and self-nurturing. This is a topic I love exploring, and what I have found to be true is what we feed our minds is directly linked to how we take care of ourselves. We can feed our minds with sweet and loving phrases or sour and critical thoughts. How we relate to our minds is directly linked to how we comfort ourselves—sometimes with food.
He thinks thousands of thoughts every day. He speaks to himself more than anyone else. He is your trusted and trusted mentor. Most of the conversations you have with you will never be shared with anyone else because doing so will expose the "real" you. You are full of doubts, worries, sadness, guilt, pain and disappointment.
But this is not “the real you” at all. This is what your ego and your beliefs are built for. These negative beliefs were created by you, and accepted by you as true. Sadly, nothing could be further from the truth.
Where did this false idea come from They were very outgoing; parents, teachers, coworkers, and friends. They may have planted seeds by saying something like “you are fat” and you have developed those words to the point that they become your reality.
You let your whole life be governed by some vague comments made over the years. No one has the right or the power to tell you who you are. Only you know who you really are and what is in your heart.
At birth you entered this world without your present burdens of wrong belief. You have entered this world as a heap of joy filled with infinite power and opportunity.
I came here to tell you that you have not changed. You stand still and you will always be a beautiful bunch of unlimited energy and possibilities.
The only difference is what you pay attention to. Let me ask you a question. If you stop all the negative comments you currently have with you such as;
- I am very fat
- Why someone wants to love me
- I will never be thin
- I always fail
And the list goes on and on… How would you feel? Do you think you can feel it emotionally Do you think you can feel happy Do you think you can feel more confident?
Now you think about how your life could change if you could go further and change your speech by talking only about yourself. If you take the time and focus on what you love about yourself and focus only on your emotional state will be good until you are able to achieve anything.
Once you start looking for the good things inside you, you will be amazed to see your beauty always just below the surface. You have never been anything else at that time that pile of bright joy that entered the world years ago. It is easy to reveal the positive aspects of yourself by asking specific questions.
- What exactly is it?
- Who has benefited from being me on earth?
- Who am I, what in my heart do I know for myself?
- What do I like about my body?
Your goal is to make you feel good now. How do you feel now? If you just look at what you feel is good for you, you will feel happy, you will be happy. Decide right here and now how you want to feel. Decide that you will always look for the good in you and appreciate that good.
So what does all of this have to do with weight loss? Everything !!! Your emotional state is a control valve that determines what you draw from your experience. The way you speak on your own builds your beliefs and your subconscious plans. So you need to ask yourself if you want your beliefs and myths to be based on false reasoning. Or you want your beliefs to be based on the truth, that you are a perfect person and have always been a perfect person.
When we are thoughtful about when and what we are eating, we can help mitigate the stress and negative thoughts surrounding diets and food choices. Different studies have shown that those who practice mindful eating or mindfulness can improve stress levels and lose weight, added Carroll.
In time, you'll learn that it's not about eating "good" vs. "bad" foods. It's about choosing foods that nourish and empower you to stay active and be your healthiest version, helping you achieve and maintain a healthy weight and live a happy, healthy life—especially in the long haul.
Start loving yourself and growing today. Let the fun, playfulness and enthusiasm you had naturally as a child begin to flow into your daily affairs. Allow yourself to celebrate each success no matter how small. Love and value every opportunity you have. Do this every day and watch your weight begin to melt just as your old bad impressions of you begin to melt.

Instead of using this negative language, try speaking to yourself in the third person, recommends Todd Buckingham, PhD, lead exercise physiologist at Mary Free Bed Sports Rehabilitation. “This will improve self-control and help regulate your emotions. So, the next time you have these negative thoughts, imagine you are talking to a friend. You wouldn’t shame a friend for not losing weight, so why do it to yourself
Sometimes you've got to stop with the scale; it's not all about the number of pounds you're losing. Instead of feeling dismayed when that number doesn't drop, start celebrating other accomplishments — both big and small. When you feel more comfortable in your clothes or have more energy all day long, know that it happened because of your commitment and best efforts. When you realize what you're capable of accomplishing, it's like a domino effect: the positivity just keeps on rolling in.
