Stop Putting Your Life On Hold Until..
Stop Putting Your Life On Hold Until..

How often have you said that you wont buy any new clothes until you have reached your desired goal weight? Or perhaps you have heard someone say that they cant be happy until they have more money, putting desired things off until something else happens to make it ok to do what they want or to have what they want to have.
This really came to my attention this week when a new weight control client said that she felt that she was putting her life on hold until she looses 25 pounds. With this in mind, you are putting quite a bit of happiness far out of your reach and into your future. New clothes are out of the question because you dont want to waste the money on a size that you dont plan to stay in. Choosing not to go to dinner with friends because of being tempted to eat all the bad foods while you are trying to reach that desired goal weight. You will think twice before going to the beach and enjoying a beautiful day because you dont want to be seen in a bathing suit or shorts or even just summer clothing because it is more revealing. Heaven forbid someone you know might see you!
These things and more are very common concerns of clients I have had over the years, AND even myself before I learned how to change my mind. You see one thing that is very important to know is that WHAT YOU FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON YOU ENERGIZE! I learned this from my doctor when I was so ill with Fibromyalgia, Myofascial Pain Syndrome and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome some years ago. It is so true and I teach this to my clients also. What you focus your attention on you energize because all things are ENERGY. We are all energy slowed down to matter, Science 101, which we have all learned and stored way far away in the subconscious mind because we were sure we wouldnt need that information again! But it is something that you need to be reminded of, when you are concerning yourself with your thoughts.
In the case of a person who wants to release unwanted weight, they may be constantly focusing their attention on the weight they want to release. That makes the weight that they currently have as their main focus. And if they put their life on hold until they make that weight goal, they are making it much more difficult to release that weight easily.
In regards to weight, it is important to love yourself just the way you are FIRST, so that it is easier for you to make the changes that you want to make for yourself. Our thoughts are so very important. Thoughts are not just things that bounce back and forth between our ears. They are extremely powerful and they go out and create what we want to happen and not happen. So if you are constantly thinking about the fat, what do you create? If you said more fat or the same fat staying right where it is, you are right. You need to be focusing on the desired weight and size of your goal, so that the subconscious mind can help you obtain that.
The same is true in regards to money. If you constantly focus on the lack of money instead of your abundance, you create more lack. If you need a job, but continue to focus on the fact that you dont have a job, you can be pushing away the job that is waiting to find you! So you should write down the kind of job you want to find, detailed right down to the kind of people there with you at that job, the perfect wage for you and feeling yourself happy there as if it is NOW!
If you havent read the book, EXCUSE ME YOUR LIFE IS WAITING, THE ASTONISHING POWER OF FEELINGS by Lynn Grabhorn, I highly recommend it. Last year I was doing lectures from this book with permission from the author, and people had phenomenal results from the experience. Lynn Grabhorn is a really funny lady who shares her experiences of life and how she kept failing at the things she wanted and wondered why on earth she kept making the same mistakes over and over again in life, bringing about the same unwanted results every time. The techniques she teaches were almost identical to those that I teach and I was amazed! But I also knew that even though I was teaching people to manifest what they wanted in life, that there was a missing link in my methodology. Lynn gave me that missing link. It was to spend more time in the feeling of what you want. I didnt put as much emphasis in the feeling part of it. I put more attention on the visualizing of it. But not everyone is visual. So feeling what you want is more important than I had originally thought. One of my clients has created so many new clients of her own that she is now swamped! By using the law of attraction, her business is right where she wanted it to be, and it happened almost over night for her.
How can you begin bringing to you what you want instead of putting your life on hold until? Do fun things for yourself NOW! This isnt rocket science people! If you have seen my van around town, you have seen my slogan, Change Your Life By Changing Your Mind! Heres how one of my clients did that this past weekend with me.
She is a woman in her late 50s who has been doing my weight control program long distance with me. She decided that she really wanted to have a session in person and was willing to drive four hours to see me. When I heard that she wanted to come all this way to see me, I decided to make it a really fun time for her is she was willing. Who doesnt want to have fun, right? She had mentioned early on in our sessions that she felt that she was putting a new relationship on hold until she reached her goal weight, so I challenged her, to see if she was willing to change her mind about put things on hold. I suggested a makeover for her while she was here since she was going to spend the night anyway. She was thrilled with the idea!
So I took her to my hairdresser and she had highlights done and a new shorter hairstyle, which took even more weight off of her appearance and she looked younger! We went to Hillsdale Shopping Center and since I am a bargain hunteress, we found her quite a few new fun things to wear that will work just fine as she continues releasing her weight. She had so much fun and felt so good about herself and the new life she is beginning NOW and not waiting until all of her weight is off.
We took before and after pictures and she was amazed at how just a new hairstyle could make her look SO different and feel so good.
So dont put your life on hold people! Get out there putting your best foot forward and your most positive thoughts and feelings out there for you to create what it is that you want and deserve in your life NOW! Dont wait for certain circumstances or situations to arise before you can do what you want to do and be what you want to be. Trust that you are great just the way you are and with what you have and that every step you take is a step away from the old self and into the new self! Strong, powerful and unmovable in your decision to be the best you can be.
