Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Body

It’s true.

Changing your thoughts about your body may be the most important thing you can do to release weight.

It can also be the most difficult, especially since most of us have been well-schooled in self-deprecation and humility.  We can be ruthlessly critical when we see our reflection, for it feels easier and more natural to focus on our flaws rather than on how fabulous we are.

But focussing on our fabulousness is a lot more fun than focussing on our flaws.  Someone said, “We move toward what we picture in our minds.”  And so if we see the beauty in our physical selves, regardless of our size or shape, that beauty will expand and increase exponentially as we place our attention upon it.

Making the decision to see what is beautiful about our bodies can be difficult.  But making single decision can be the catalyst for amazing changes in what you eat, in how much you move, in how you chose to spend your time. . . .

But it first begins with a thought.
