You
think thousands of thoughts each day. You talk to yourself more than anyone
else. You are your most trusted advisor and confidant. Many of the conversations
that you have with yourself you would never share with anyone else because to
do so would expose the “real” you. The you that is filled with self doubt,
worries, sadness, guilt, hurts and disappointments.
But
this is not the “real you” at all. This is the you that your ego and belief
systems have constructed. These negative beliefs have been constructed by you,
and accepted by you as truth. The sad thing is that nothing can be further from
the truth.
- I’m
too fat
- Why
would anyone want to love me
- I
will never be thin
- I
always fail
And the
list can go on and on… How would you feel ? Do you think that you would feel
emotionally lighter ? Do you think that you would feel happier ? Do you think
that you would feel more confident ?
Now how
do you think your life would change if you were to go one step further and
modify your self talk by only speaking positively about yourself. If you take
some time and focus on what you like about yourself and focus on only that your
emotional state will become positive to the point that you will be able to
accomplish anything.
Once
you begin looking for the positive things within you, you will be surprised to
realize your magnificence has always been there just below the surface. You
have never been anything other then that shining bundle of joy that entered the
world years ago. It’s easy to uncover positive aspects of yourself by asking
some questions.
- What
am I good at?
- Who
has benefited by me being in the world?
- Who
am I, what is in my heart that only I know?
- What
do I like about my body?
Your
goal is to feel good now. How do you feel now? If you only observe what you
feel is positive about you, you will feel good, you will be happy. Decide right
here and right now how you want to feel. Decide that you will always look for
the good within you and appreciate that goodness.
Begin
today to love and nurture yourself. Allow the joy, playfulness and enthusiasm
that you naturally had as a child begin to flow into your everyday experiences.
Allow yourself to celebrate each and every success no matter how small. Love
and appreciate yourself every opportunity you have. Do this everyday and watch
your weight begin to dissolve just as your old negative beliefs about yourself
begin to dissolve.
