Monitor your words!

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
- Mahatma Gandi

Step 2 - Monitor your words.

Every cell in your body has ears. Not only does your body hear your every thought - it hears what you say. EVERY WORD! Become aware of what you say.

Is your customary dialogue like this:
I hope I don't catch that cold...
I don't want...
I'm so fat...
I will never...

STOP IT! Change what you say to:
I am healthy and won't catch that cold...
What I want is...
I know I can...
I will always...

Monitor your words. Do not criticize or hate your body in your thoughts or words. Just think how wonderful your body is...taking you everywhere on your legs...digesting what you eat...coping with all your stress...soldering on when you do not get enough rest...making do with the junk food you eat...taking general abuse on a daily basis. Thank your body out loud. "Thank you body for being there for me - I love every part of you!" Appreciate your body. Treat it like royalty. Your cells communicate minute-by-minute and are worthy and deserving of your deep appreciation.

Hugs,
Gin

P.S. Especially when clothing shopping...stop the critical comments and make them positive.

Rather than "I look fat in this outfit"

Say "This doesn't quite fit, I need to search for an outfit that fits my body better."

You create your life!

"If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right."
- Henry Ford

Life isn't random...you create your life! The object is to change your mind in a positive way and you will change your life. It is that simple. We become entrenched in the idea that life must be a struggle, things just happen to us, well - I'm here to tell you that you have the power to create what you want by changing the way you think to get the results you want. Remember:

"ah ha" moments = change = personal growth (and that's good!)

Who wants to be trapped in time? Not me!

Step 1 - Positive thoughts and images.

Whether you want to lose weight or have an illness, THINK POSITIVE! When you have a negative thought about yourself (or anyone else!) STOP and choose again to change it into a positive thought. Thoughts are things. Thoughts become things. Thoughts attract things. (Example: like the same type of guys that are attracted to you. Ugh! Change your mind and you will attract a different type of guy!) So for the person wanting to lose weight, the thought shift would be - I am healthy, fit, and slim. For the person with an illness, the thought shift would be - I am healthy, vibrant and energized. Focus on the positive, for what we think about most is what we manifest.
