Have a look at the brook in this photograph. The water is moving, but there is a place in the brook where the water cannot move where it would like. The water's progress is slowed because there are leaves, sticks, and dirt in it's way. The brook is blocked there.
I like to imagine that the brook is like my body. The water is the energy moving inside or outside of my body. Energy is moving in all directions. The leaves, sticks, and dirt in the water are like emotions, thoughts, memories - all negative ones. Removing these obstructions from the brook so the water can flow freely again is similar to how we clean ourselves of negative garbage so our energy can flow freely, and we can feel good about ourselves.
Some people may have just little leaves or sticks floating on the water, while others can have a really big mess of garbage there, simply because they never took the time to clean it out. Of course the bigger the amount of garbage the longer it takes to clean, but everybody can be clean and free like the cleanest water in the brook running happily. No matter what your age, or what may have happened in your past, you can always start again. You just need to be willing to try.
You can start again today! You are never alone! Be willing! Be aware of what is happening in your life, be aware of what condition your body is in, and know that you have the power to change it for the better. Yes you can! Start today!
Take the time to stand naked in front of a mirror and have a look at yourself. What areas of your body you would like to change? Weight, head, stomach, legs, ears, eyes, wrinkles, feet, hair, posture, cellulite, double chin........it goes on and on. I believe that you can change everything to be more healthy and content with your body.
You actually need only one tool to start with - LOVE. Love yourself unconditionally. Self-love is the most important tool for healing.
If you are looking at yourself in the mirror
and seeing a bloated belly, criticizing it will not help the situation. The belly hears everything you say; every organ, every gland in your body hears everything you say. How can you have a nice relationship with your body if you are full of criticism? You alone are responsible for your life actions, and if you have a weight problem or an unattractive condition, you got yourself there.You are responsible for your feelings and thoughts, and as Louise Hay has said on many occasion, "There are only thoughts, and thoughts can be changed."
For now let's learn how to love ourselves. When you stand in front of a mirror and see a double chin, place your hands on that spot and feel the warm energy coming from your hands. Tell yourself that you can get rid of that double chin lovingly, that it is possible to have a beautiful chin and neck, and that you just need some exercise and willingness to practice. You will get there! Love yourself how you are today and let's work together on improving the whole body. I'm not a doctor or a fitness expert but I can help you to love yourself even more and show you how to improve your body with a positive attitude.
There are plenty of affirmations for you to live by.
Here are some examples:
I'm always looking to improve myself in positive ways.
I love my body. Let's work together.
I'm learning how to love my body.
I believe in myself and I allow myself to feel good.
I'm feeling healthy and focused.
