ecstatic. Then the weight loss
completely stopped. Nothing
for six more months! As of
today, she’s down 130 pounds.
Imagine if she had turned
around and started going in
the wrong direction. Instead
she continued to practice her
hypnosis and have faith. It’s
such a joy to get Cathy’s annual
vacation photos and see her
beaming, healthy, at her ideal
weight.
Appreciate your progress.
Instead of beating up on
yourself, begin to send yourself
some appreciation. Have you
ever watched a child learn
to walk? When it fell down,
did you want to yell, “What’s
wrong with you?” Of course,
not! Your instinct was surely
to encourage that child. In
the same way, encourage
yourself for all your efforts and successes. Don’t
only measure success by the number on the
scale. Instead measure winning by your actions
and accomplishments. Did you take the time to
prepare a salad today and bring it to work instead
of pulling into a fast food restaurant like you may
have before? Give yourself a big smile, pat on
the back, and deep encouragement, praise and
gratitude.
Heal your emotional patterns. See your
frustration as a great opportunity to heal your
own emotional patterns. Notice the familiarity of
the feelings you are having right now. Realize that
no matter what your life situation, your thought
habits are repetitive and predictable. This is a
great opportunity to break that old cycle. Without
judgment, open your awareness. Be brave and let
yourself experience any “dark” feelings of shame,
anger, victimhood, fear, insecurity and jealousy.
Whatever comes up for you, you no longer need
to push down again. You can bring your feelings
into the light of day to be acknowledged and healed.
It’s time to hold yourself, instead of rejecting the
parts of you that you feel uncomfortable with.
Imagine a huge, radiant sun in your heart that
can contains all your feelings — both the wanted
and the unwanted ones. Imagine that the dark
emotions passing through you can be healed by
the light that’s in the core of your being — the
light that is part of your true Spirit. Ask to release
judgment and criticism of yourself.
From The Story
“Don’t only
measure success
by the number
on the scale.
Instead measure
winning by your
actions and
accomplish–
ments.”
Stop suppressing any discomfort within you. You
no longer need to bury your emotions with food.
Instead, summon your inner courage, breathe light
into all your emotions and let this light expand
and wash over you. You are much stronger than
you think. Also, you are not alone. The feelings that
feel unmanageable to you are simply your share
of the feelings that all of humanity experiences.
By bringing them into the light deep within you,
and witnessing them, you can channel them into
positive energy — even if that is simply compassion
for others and for yourself.
Shift your mindset. Reinstate a sense of certainty
within yourself that you are moving in the right
direction. Feel with every cell of your body the
inner knowing that you deserve to be happy and
to live the creative, happy life that your heart longs
for. Know that weight loss is only the side benefit of
living your life with authentic freedom — freedom
to choose what your inner wisdom knows is best
for you. Make a decision to release the old habits
of thought and action that no longer serve you.
Decide to love all parts of yourself, even those that
in the past you may have been ashamed of.
Embrace your humanity while more and more
embodying your divinity. Practice self-hypnosis
every day to help you get more and more connected
to your authentic self.
Never give up and know that all good things
happen in their own time. Your job is to keep
consciously moving towards living the life that
you know is best for you. That means embodying
the new habits of healthy eating, eating only just
enough to satisfy your physical hunger and moving
your body for balance, stress relief and energy.
Focus on cleansing your mind daily and nourishing
your body. And if you must look back, do so only
long enough to see how far you’ve come!
