Before you and I dive into today’s post, let me first clarify – Your body is a masterpiece.
An absolute masterpiece!
I’ve actually come to a place where I know this is true about my own body, which feels like a big shift. BIG. I’m going to let that statement percolate with you for a while, as it will be a future post, so stay tuned! Today’s post is geared towards helping you realize you are in the driver’s seat and have the power to change your body. It’s OK to want to look and feel better about yourself.
Now, lets dive into todays’ post….
I know there are things you don’t like about your body, in fact you probably use the word ‘hate’ at times. I know this because I’ve spent the better part of my life repeating that pattern as well. Plus working with clients for the past 10 years has given me a bird’ eye view, of just how hard on ourselves we are, especially when it comes to our physical form.
I get it, you wish something on your body was perkier, slimmer, less wrinkly, less bumpy, smaller, or larger and with that wish granted, you would be happier!
And CONFIDENT, so much more confident right?
You could wear the clothes in your closet that don’t fit right now, and how incredible would that feel?!
The heavens would open, wouldn’t they?!
Ok. Lets pause right here. Because this is the spot. This is the spot where you are in control and can start to completely transform your relationship to your body, and (I’m whispering this next part) change the parts of your body you wish looked a bit different with your thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
Yup. That’s right, you can change your physical body with the power of your mind.
Maybe you already believe and know this is possible, or maybe you’re thinking “yeah right”.
FYI – I’m not here to sway to you to believe it’s possible if you’re in the latter group, that sounds exhausting to me. The reason I believe you can change your body with your mind is because I have proof. I’ve changed certain things about my body or my health with my mind, many times. And, you my dear, have the power to do it too, we all do.
Ok, that’s all for today, I’m going to end this post right here, This is a HUGE topic, with many layers, so I’m consciously doing my best to keep this short, with a simple action step for you. I know it might feel like a bit of a teaser article, but you have things to do today, and action is where the transformation happens. So lets get into action!
For the next week, start with something simple you would like to change when it comes to your body. Something I like to suggest to my clients, that works very well for myself, is your pants feeling loose around your waist. I’ll use the pants example for the exact steps. Do your best to really be in the ‘movie’ you create for a full 2 minutes or more. Alright powerful lady, here we go.
Inspired Action – Close your eyes for 2+ minutes every day, and visualize yourself wearing a pair of jeans that currently feel a bit snug in the waist, and FEEL (this is THE most important part) and SEE yourself with a high level of enthusiasm and joy, as you slip them on, they have more space in the waist. OMG! You feel free and less restricted in them, you feel like a bit of a sex kitten, oh yeah, look at you! Stay in that FEELING of joy and excitement, bask in it. Repeat this as many times as you want each day, and continue for 7 days. And ideally, continue doing this the following week and really built the habit and new thought pattern.
Let me know how it goes and how your pants feel after 14 days!
Live Inspired,
Sonja
