It is all in the way you look at it!

I want to talk to you today about the "mind body connection." It has everything to do with the Way to LIVEit!
#1. Live your fullest life NOW! Do not WAIT for some illusive # to do anything or to think you can do anything you want to do. You are a valuable life force just as you are and waiting to become an active participant in your life or ours is a true detriment to our universe!!! Be all you want to be NOW!
#2. Drop ALL Numeric body goals and make a list of ones that really count for you and that you can feel and that bring you positive feelings that resonate much larger in your life and much longer in trajectory than those #'s. i.e. be comfortable in my own skin, be able to throw on anything in my closet and feel good about how I look, be able to sit/fit comfortably in an airplane seat, be able to walk long, hard and even on hot days not get chaffed thighs because they no longer touch... The real benefit here is that these results are positives you can feel and far outweigh any sacrifices on a choice by choice basis you might make to achieve them.
Having your positive result be so much more valuable to you than that "instant gratification" is an absolute assurance of success.
#3. Love and accept yourself as you are now! You've heard this a lot but the how do I do that when "I'm so ____" has never been explained.
It is all about changing your perception. This is not an easy/snap thing to accomplish. It is a process but the most valuable one you will undertake.
For those of you who have read a lot of self-help books or have participated in much therapy, you know about "self talk." I'm not really sure why they term it that. It is your self doing the talking but is more accurately "self-bashing," and at its best "self-limiting." To make matters even more confusing, my mother's voice and old loves words, are all mixed in with my own. You add on top of that ALL the misinformation we've been fed for decades and this is a real challenge.
You must, You will, You can!
It is SOOOOOOO worth it! Becoming fully aware is the first step. Just spend a day, an hour, a weekend whatever being totally conscious of your thoughts and begin catching yourself at it. It only takes a little of this awareness to set you on the corrective path.
Once you begin to know and hear yourself do this to yourself then it is just a matter of consistently replacing those thoughts, that self - bashing with a positive self-talk. There are so many examples I wouldn't know where to begin. I'd be delighted if you would let me know what you find and how you replace them.

This last 8 days have gone well. My Way to LIVEit is on path and I am feeling well, happy, active and absolutely looking forward with wild anticipation and feeling as though all my dreams are coming true.
