I'm trying to stay motivated to keep exercising and I think that it comes down to a simple question. Do you love your self and the Divine inside?
"Happy and peaceful simply means to stop disturbing our natural state of inner peace. Meditation, praying, and church -These techniques do not bring peace and happiness; they simply help us to experience and rediscover the inner peace that is there already, once we stop disturbing it.
"We are a part of, not apart from, everyone and everything. We are That. In this context, love is not something we get; its who we are.
" When we can maintain that “double vision”-both the duality and the underlying unity- then we can enjoy life more fully and accomplish even more without so much suffering and stress, from a place of wholeness rather than lacking, from a feeling of interconnectedness rather than separateness and isolation. Our lives become manifestations of love, act of love- the most powerful force in the universe.
"As your mind is trained to let go of its fear, your body will let go of its excess pounds. For that shift in thinking form fear to love is a miracle: the reprogramming of your consciousness on a causal level, freeing the level of bodily effects to transform from dysfunctions to healing. This course is not about your relationship with food; it is about your relationship with love. For love is your true healer. And miracles occur naturally in the presence of love.
"Love is that which both crated and sustains you. It’s both your connection to your true reality and your alignment with positive flow of the universe.
"The power of fear is being a little insane, destructive, and lacking- The power of love is perfect, creative, self organizing, healthy, self healing, and abundant. Divine Mind is the conterforce to the temporary insanity; when you are lost in moments of spiritual forgetfulness, it will remind you who you are."
- Marianne Williamson Auther of A Cours In Weight Loss
I love food and its amazing how much I took it for granted. I didn’t care what I was putting in my body. I just wanted what was cheap and easy to get my hands on. I know we all do it, were in a hurry and want to pull up to that drive though. It takes only a little awareness of the food we eat and how it will effect our body's. I’m not a doctor or a nutritionist, but I know that a Hamburger form a fast food joint isn't good for me. It’s just coman sense... It took me a long time to realize that exercising is good and will keep you healthy, but also without eating healthy foods you wont see results!
It sounds like a death sentence doesn't it? We can’t eat anything we want? Our mind and tast buds rebels and tells you” I don’t like this” or “I’m not in control; I have cravings.” You can get passed these thoughts and become in powerd by food! I know when I said no to french frys I felt happy that I didn’t give inn. I choose what I eat and what I don’t eat and once I excepted that, that’s when I started losing weight. I’m thinner then I was in High School! I didn’t even really try once I ate healthy. Every time I got on the scale I lost more weight! My friends and family still think I have something wrong with me because I lost 80 lbs with little effort.
We have to realize food is not the solution to the problem. We feel bored or stressed and we don’t have enough self expedience. I knew that I had the strength to do what needed to be done. I have the confidence to resist. Even if I slip once in a while I know I have a lot to gain if I just stick with it!
