My story changes
From one of being less than
To a life of joy
Who doesn’t like a good story?
I do, and when that story is about me, I like it even more. Sharing thoughts and feelings with others is
how we connect and as a species we are wired in our brains to do that. There are so many reasons that we behave
normally (based on our species and how the mind/body works) in our
relationships to food, body, and weight.
And yet, when the story repeats many times without a change, how does
that help? Perhaps functioning normally
is not enough and optimal functioning is better. A tune up for the mind/body connection would
be great.
Yes, each story is unique and worth telling. Does that telling make a difference? Some would say yes and others would say
no. Although sharing may over time bring
some new thoughts and actions to mind, it may take a long time. I’m thinking that adding those new thoughts
and actions into a person waking up into a life of growth and purpose is what
will make a difference. And then mind,
body, and energy work together to create that growth and joy that we can share
with others through love. All this and
it doesn’t have to take forever!
In order to change our stories about weight, food, and body I
use a process called LIGHT.
Look
beyond the obvious
Improvise
Grow
new networks
Hear
success
Turn
to your heart
Each month I
will be talking about one of these parts of the LIGHT system in a way that can
get that swing moving right now.
Imagine being in a swing and getting that push to get started! Be free......
