April 27th

As you pay close attention to the messages you are receiving via your emotions, you become better equipped to give yourself precisely what you need at any time.  The sugars and simple carbohydrates you are reaching for will only make you feel better momentarily.  In a short while you are likely to feel fat, guilty, and ashamed and crave more treats which will only serve to continue the discouraging, frustrating cycle of feeling bad, eating more, feeling worse, eating more, gaining weight, feeling discouraged, eating more, etc.  This cycle leads to increased anxiety, depression and usually weight gain.

Having fun and enjoying ourselves leads to balance and radiant health.  Life is about feeling joyful.  If you feel good you know you are on the right path, a physically and emotionally healthy track.  If you do not feel good then you are not choosing and doing what is best for you.  You have strayed from your path.  Guide yourself back.

April 25th

When we give thought to something, we invite it into our life.  So, could weight loss be really as simple as changing our thought patterns?  Yes it can, and in fact weight loss is impossible without shifting our thoughts to a positive vibration whenever possible. If we persist in saying “I am fat” for example, the Universal Law of Attraction assures us that we will remain in a state of feeling and being fat.  If instead we focus on the fabulous things about our bodies and we visualize ourselves as healthy and slender, we raise our vibrational energy and move steadily closer to that vision of ourselves.

When you make a self-loving choice you are likely to feel proud of yourself.  You will have more physical energy, feel more lovable, and more connected to yourself, to others, and the world in general.  The more you stop and consider your alternatives and make your choices in the spirit of love the more you will notice that peace, lightness, and joy manifest in your life.

April 23rd

When you make a less than self-loving choice, and you will because we all do at times, observe yourself.  Without judging, just notice how you feel when you make this less than self-loving choice.  It is not a mistake.  There are no mistakes, only lessons.  What can you learn from it?  What might you do differently next time?

April 22nd

To heal from any compulsive behavior, to heal your body, you must attend to your spirit — to heal yourself with patience, compassion, and love.  Many of us know this on a very deep and private level.  Self-loving choices are spiritually enhancing and the more we make, the better we feel and the less compulsive, self-harming choices we will make.

April 21st

Spend time contemplating what you love to do.  You cannot create something new in your life if you don’t spend time thinking about what you want.  Spend time discovering who you are.  Only then can you move towards the life you truly want to have - filled with zest, joy, health and balance – free from compulsive overeating.

April 20th

Remember, you are never too old to try something new.  You are never too old to have fun!  Separate yourself from all the roles you play in life –parent, child, friend, partner, etc. — and spend time thinking of who YOU are.   Is there something new you would like to try?

April 19th

Your path requires you to greet the circumstances of each moment with awareness and to experience each and every feeling that passes through your body.  For example, when you feel butterflies in your stomach, observe this sensation.  That is only your anxiety.  Underlying this is always a fear that you are not lovable.  YOU ARE.  You can trust this!

April 18th

Being fixated on the past and being a perpetual victim will keep you in a state of anxiety and reactivity and you will continue to overeat for emotional reasons.  Take action now to make the adjustments you must make to stand up for yourself and craft your life as richer and more rewarding. 

April 17th

It is vital that you do not let the opinions and feelings of others deter you from following your dreams.  After all, this is your life and it is your responsibility to make of it what you want.   Your thoughts about how to live your life have been shaped by outside forces.  This has resulted in faulty thinking.  You have been trying to find happiness by doing what others think you should do or to look like what others think you should look like.  Stop it!  Your happiness is only up to you!

April 16th

Movement through the stages of our lives inevitably stirs emotions deep within, whether we are conscious of them at the time or not.  If you will move through your feelings instead of avoiding them, you will end up in a much more calm and peaceful place.  You are then making decisions based on your true desires.

April 15^th

It is vital that you learn to assert yourself and communicate what your wants and needs truly are.  You deserve to ask for what you want and to express yourself.  Your feelings are no more or less important than anyone else’s.  Knowing how to speak up and to stand up for yourself will empower you, and you will not need food as medication. 

April 14th

Finding happiness is your life’s purpose and your most important task.   We are humans who spend much time doing and not much time being.  Why not slow down, relax, and focus for a while on what you truly want?  Why not do this several times a day?  It will become a habit that will serve you well.

April 13th

Our persistent feelings make up our internal guidance system and as such are constantly providing the information we require to make the very best choices for ourselves in each moment.  To take full advantage of these important messages, we must pay attention to what we are feeling and follow the instructions we are being given.

Following your intuition means learning to pay close attention to your feelings and heeding the important messages they are transmitting about the very best ways to take care of yourself. 

April 12th

To craft your ideal life, you must be clear about what your desires actually are and.  It is a beautiful thing when you balance your need to attend to yourself with attending to others’ needs.  It is when you allow others’ needs to crowd yours out of the picture that a problem results.

 April 11^th

Notice what you are feeling when your appetite is raging and pay close attention to the valuable communication your feelings are trying to deliver.  Listen to these messages and you will begin to value your appetite as a true friend, instead of a foe.  When you attend to your feelings you give yourself what you truly need (and it usually isn’t food) you will be in control.  Your feelings will constantly and faithfully deliver messages from your internal guidance system about what choices are in your best interest in all aspects of your life.  Learn to listen to them.
