Hi Everyone!
"If you wish harmonious conditions in your life, you must develop a harmonious mental attitude."
Charles Haanes - The Master Key System
As we all are looking for that harmony, balance and comfort in our lives, the key to where this harmony is to be found is not in the food, or the addictions or the temporary distractions. The power we have to turn our lives into that which we want it to be, and yes, that includes the subject of weight loss, and health, is within.
Sounds like that new age thinking to you?
The book this thinking is primarily inspired from has been written 1916, and is one of the inspirations for the making of "The Secret."
So much for new age thinking.
But does it really work? Is what the teachers of Law of Attraction and numerous other writers like Eckhart Tolle have been writing about, really something that works?
If you consider how many times, many of us have spent hundreds of dollars upon the quick fixes, that everyone else promised us, that they would work, I think the purchase of a book for under 20 Dollars, or even better, the reading of a book that is available free, as a public domain on the Internet, is worth considering even if only for a moment.
What do you have to loose, but a few moments of your time?
Think about it!

What is going on in your head, is reflected on your waist
Hi Everyone!
Think about this sentence for a moment:
Whatever is going on in your head, is reflected through your weight.
If you are going to the extreme of being overweight, or the extreme of being too thin, the disarray in your body, is mirror and an extension of your thoughts.
Self-worth, self-respect and self-acceptance rarely reflects itself in form of extra weight or disease, but brings for a naturally healthy body.
The same goes for the opposite.
That is why in holistic weight management, and/or holistic coaching the first thing we need to examine together is the relationship of your thoughts within to the projection of your outside.
What are you hiding from, what are you running away from, what are you looking for to be protected from, what are you going to control - those are the questions I want to ask yourself today.
As you go about your day today, following your usual patterns, focus upon what you are thinking, which tapes are running through your head. Whatever you discover, remember that you have a choice to change these thoughts.
And also remember, that you have just taken the first step - Awareness

The Mindset of Wellness
Hi Everyone!
"All of the biology - every bit of it - is following the mind. Every bit of it, EVERY bit of it.
So the wellness that is being allowed, or the wellness that is being denied, is all about the mindset, the mood, the attitude, the practiced thought. There is no exceptions, in any human or beast, that you'll ever discover. It's ALL that. Treating the body really is about treating the mind. Because you have discovered you can patch them up again, and again, and they will just find another way of reverting back to the natural rhythm of their mind, you see.
It is all psychosomatic - every bit of it - no exceptions."
Abraham-Hicks
What does that mean fro healthy, balanced living?
It means that:
1. Until you are dealing with the emotional reasons for overeating, you will not stop with unhealthy behaviors.
2. While dealing with the current symptoms - which can include trips to the doctor, the nutritionist or an expert in the field of weight management, you have to reconnect with you, the core of you, so you will be able to detach unhealthy behavior associated with food or exercise.
3. Raising your self-esteem, and your feeling of self-worth has to become an integrated part of becoming overall balanced. That means improving self-talk, arriving at a place of an positive outlook, and the control of your emotions through deliberate thinking, affirmations and meditation.
Weight loss, health improvement and achieving a successful life, has to become an integrated part of each-other, in order to be at a place, where you are comfortable with whom you are, in your day to day existence. The way to get off the roller-coaster of dieting is to include the work through the root of the problem, while working on the symptoms immediately.
Have a wonderful day

How do you think about food?
How do you speak, and think about food?
What is your thought-process,when eating? Take a moment to think about what I just asked you. What thoughts do you associate with eating? What words come out of your mouth, when you talk about food?
The relationship you have with food, with thought and words, has a lot to do, with how you feel about yourself, your body image, your weight and your health.
How you think about food, determines, how you eat, what you eat, how much you eat, and how you will feel while eating.
If you go to your food with an attitude of, it needs to fill you quickly, then the what, that you are putting into your mouth, and the flavor of what you are putting in your mouth is less likely to be of high quality.
If you go toward food, as a comfort, it will play that role, while you will pick anything that raises that serotonin, which is fine in moderation, but only in moderation. You know what I am talking about, the chocolate, the cookies, the other sweets, you seem to not be able to stay away from.
If you go toward food, as a booster of energy, you will pick differently. You will pick the apple, or that smoothie, have a dense plate of whole-wheat pasta with fresh pesto. And it will feel good.
If you go toward food, with gratefulness of every bite, and with joy, you will slow down, enjoy, and savor each meal, satisfaction through slow enjoyment. You will feel relaxed, and choose flavor, scent and an experience as a whole. You will be filled after less bites, because you gave your body time to experience the pleasure of food.
How you look at what you eat, makes a large difference in how you will experience food intake, what you choose, and how you will feel.
So, how would you learn to control that?
Here are some quick tips:
1. Set your intend, before you make the food, or go out to eat.
2. Either eat alone, or around people that relax you, and share a similar approach to food, that you are trying to achieve.
3. Take your time, at least once a day, to really look at what you are eating. Smell the food, look at it, smile at it appreciate it. Slow down.
4. Be truly grateful for each bite. As I already explained, that will slow you down as well, and begin to get you focused on what you are doing. Be truly present.
5. Turn off the distractions. Never, never eat in front of the TV, or while listening to music, or reading a book. If you are dining with someone else, talk about how great the food is, share that experience of being present.
In order to truly become in charge of your eating experience, you must be in control of how you think about the situation. Change begins with a thought, and a set intend, a goal, may it be living healthier or loosing a particular weight. It starts in your head.

New Years Resolution - Why Do They Fail?
As the end of the year approaches, more and more people surrounding me are talking about their New Years Resolution for 2008. While I do not participate, and haven't in years, because I set my resolutions or intend on a daily basis, I became very curious why so many resolutions fail.
Here are a few things I have learned during my research:
1. The goals are too unrealistic.
Wanting to loose 40 pounds by March, without a personal trainer and major support team is not very likely. Giving up is determined before you have even started.
2. The resolutions were made last minute.
You are standing at the New Years Eve party and the count-down will start in five minutes. Your friend asks you what your resolution is, and your answer, "quit smoking" and quickly toss the cigarette.
3. Resolutions are based on impulse.
See explanation # 2
4. The Pain of Quitting is larger then the Pain of Continuing
Your bad habit fills good, but quitting takes strength. It does not feel good to you stop something your body craves, let's be realistic here.
5. They sabotage themselves with negative self-talk.
Sentences like "I can always quit: or "maybe just one donut." are not helping your. Self-talk can be damaging and limiting.
6. Resolutions lack detail.
I want a new job, is a great resolution, but not very detailed. Would you be able to find the job that is great for you, if it where right in front of you, if you can not even describe it to yourself?
Have a wonderful day, contemplating your Resolutions for 2008!
