Week 6
Nothing will slow you down more than discouragement. What are the first thoughts you have in the morning? How do those thoughts affect the rest of your day? In my twenties, I would often wake to negative thoughts invading my mind: “I really hate myself. I really hate how I ate yesterday. I really hate my body.” These thoughts would affect my feelings. I would feel hopeless, drained, and depressed.
These emotions would affect my energy. I felt depleted, uninspired, joyless, and pessimistic. This was a painful state of existence, and food offered comfort. I was causing myself pain, and I was looking for pain relief in my trigger foods.
The thoughts you allow to occupy your mind will affect your motivation and energy. Start building energy, momentum, and inspiration in your life. Start your day by looking for everything that is right and beautiful about you!
Practice unconditional acceptance of yourself as you are today. Love yourself now just as you’ll love yourself when you lose weight—that is unconditional, unchanging love!
This kind of thinking will affect how you feel—it will bring hope, encouragement, and energy. This new energy will bring inspiration. You will feel more in the flow. You’ll attract new ideas, new ways of moving forward. You’ll be in a high vibrational state where more is available to you. From this place, you are more capable of caring and nurturing your body, mind, and spirit.
Everything begins with a thought—choose wisely. Choose with love.
High-quality thinking leads to high-quality decision-making, creating a high-quality life.
