Has your weight loss attempts seen better days? I know mine have and I've tapped into a great book that I will share with you. It is from Marianne Williamson and it is titled "A Course in Weight Loss- 21 spiritual lessons for surrendering your weight forever"
The First Lesson asks us to visualize the image of excess weight as a brick wall that we are carrying around. A wall that has been built by our subconscious mind to separate us from other people...and maybe even life itself. A wall built for some kind of protection perhaps, and built by fear- real or imagined. Our minds and bodies don't know the difference. Like watching a horror movie or an action movie, our bodies and minds respond with the same FIGHT OR FLIGHT biochemical reaction. On my bricks are the words: shame, anger, exhaustion, unforgiveness, fear, protection...What words might be on your bricks?
Write your list and be truly honest about wall. These negative thoughts are clogging our path to health. Forget weight- HEALTH! Look at your list and then TAKE A MATCH TO IT! Then ask for help from God, your Divine, whatever you want to call it. Give it to your higher power and let her deal with it. She doesn't want you to be in pain. We were all made clean, healthy, DIVINE in the eyes of God. Who are we to mistreat God's child. That's what you are, that's what I am- GOD'S CHILD.
more to come :)
