Your body is a vechile that
houses you while you are having
this human experience. You
are spirit your body is the
housing or as the Bible says
your body is a temple.
Depending on how you love
it and create it. Yes, you
create this physical body
just as you create everything
else in your life.
Do you talk to your body?
Do you tell it you love it
everyday. Are you grateful
for your body. What we love
and pay attention to grows
in your body as it does in
any other part of your life.
If you pay attention and praise
and love your body it loves
you back by being all you
would want it to be.
As some of you know that have
been following my articles
I have been looking for alternative
ways to heal my body. Well,
I forgot something I have
known for years and that is
to send love to each part
of my body daily. Just get
quiet and start talking in
a loving voice to your body,
you can do this out loud or
anywhere just in your mind.
Thank it for all it does for
you daily. Thank each part
of yourself from the top of
your head to the tip of your
toes. Make a list of all your
body does for you daily and
thank each part for doing
that. Think of something you
admire about each of your
body parts and tell that part
of you how admired it is.
Do something for your body
every day, exercise, dance,
get a massage, take a hot
bubble bath, stetch and relax
your body, breathe.
Start today and your body
will respond. Tell your body
that you admire how slim and
muscular it is. It will become
slim and muscular. Tell your
body you love it and you admire
how abundantly healthy it
is. It will heal itself. Your
body is living cells that
can respond to you. Try it
if it doesn't work I will
refund your poor self image
and your dis-ease with your
body.
Act in a way if you would
have the perfect body.
Walk with your head held up
high, supported with pride
and confidence in yourself
and a person.
Don't let the weight of you
body determine what you do
on a normal day. Do what you
enjoy, and have fun at it.
Wear comfortable clothing
that you are not afraid to
be in, and that you are not
afraid to show to others.
Remember to count your blessings,
and not your blemishes.
How much time do you spend
looking at your body in disgust?
Just don't do it! Look at
the good, or nice qualities
that you have, and be proud
of them.
Did you know that each month
your skin replaces itself,
every five days your stomach
lining, every six weeks your
liver, and every month, even
your skeleton! Your body is
a pretty extraordinary thing.
Now respect it and appreciate
it! You owe it to yourself.
Become an expert on your body,
challenge the authority of
the fashion magazines, the
cosmetic industry, the Metropolitan
Weight Tables by allowing
your beauty to shine throughout
your personality, and brighten
a new day.
Be one of your bodies allies
and advocates. Don't let your
body be your enemy.
Every morning you wake up,
thank your body for resting
itself so you can enjoy the
day ahead.
Every evening when you go
to bed, tell your body how
happy you are that it let
you have a wonderful, fun-filled
day.
Find a way to exercise, and
begin to practice it so that
you end up doing it on a regular
basis. But don't do it to
loose weight, do it to enjoy
your body.
Think back to a time when
you enjoyed your body. Tell
your inner self that you can
feel that way again, even
in your body, at your age.
Look and go through some family
photo albums-find the beauty
and love that you value in
those faces-and treasure them
in your heart.
Tell 10 positive things about
yourself, without mentioning
your appearance.
Take a look in your closet.
Do you wear any clothes that
hide yourself? Think about
why you wear what you wear.
Decide to wear clothes if
they only give you power,
energy, and most importantly,
comfort.
Take the time to put a sign
on your mirrors that says
"I'm beautiful, inside and
out."
If you only had one year left
to live, how important would
your body image be?
Start saying to yourself,
" Life is to short to waste
my time on my image and hating
my body. Look how wonderful
I am inside."
Look to find the beauty inside
yourself.
You can also teach body to
develop stamina. Let's say
you
exercise on a treadmill. To
train your body to develop
stamina,
just tell it what you want
at the beginning of the workout.
You
might tell your body, "Run
in a relaxed manner at the
pace of the
treadmill until I tell you
to stop. Breathe easily."
Your body
will then run easily until
you tell it to stop. If, however,
you
start thinking with your mind
about how tired you feel or
how
much you hate the treadmill,
your body will get tired.
As long as
you keep your mind neutral,
your body will easily run
for as long
as you want.
If you're interested in losing
or gaining weight you can
program
your body to use food in a
specific way. To lose weight,
tell
body when you want it to get
hungry and how much you want
it to
eat. You can tell your body,
"You will not be hungry until
noon
today." Before you start your
meal, you can also tell your
body,
"Use this food for energy
and stamina only. Release
all excess
calories after this meal and
do not store them," or some
similar
statement.
The point is that your body
can be programmed any number
of ways
to suit your desires and lifestyle.
Don't get wrapped up in what
your body does or doesn't
do now. Focus your attention
on
training your body to do what
you want it to do. As a Spirit
with
a mind and a body, you are
in charge. So take charge
and start
giving orders!
Last but not least, remember
this note: "Beauty is only
skin deep."
