When I ask a woman if she loves her body 99% of the women say no! There is always something they want to change.
Can you believe the battle we have inwardly when we look in the mirror? We hate the shape of our butts, cellulite on our thighs, our boobs aren't big enough. Perhaps you can relate? Or we hate the way our clothes look and judge all pictures we are in. I know I have said it all in my head, and have had every cover up and clothing size in my closet depending on how big my belly was that day...no joke!
The war with our bodies is an ongoing one, but isn't it time we found some peace???
I want to share with you some powerful insights around those emotional rants to your skinny jeans, and long tearful chats with the cookie dough in the fridge. This relationship as brutal as it feels...might be a doorway to a hidden power within your psyche.
Could your war zone actually be a pathway to inner riches?
How do you 'find yourself' through the bottom of a Ben and Jerry's carton?
One thing I know for sure is the cycle and the pain of weight loss and weight gain. I know for myself being 5'2 going through an entire two decades of my life cycling through 5 different dress sizes, this kind of cycle is a prison of the worst kind. But is it?
This hell realm tortured me for years but it also rebirthed me to become an entirely new person. Can your relationship to food start as a battle ground and become your spiritual path? Well unless you want to be stuck in the realm of obsessing 24/7 about food you have no other choice.
How can eating a dozen doughnuts become your guru?
I believe it is your greatest teacher.
So lets get started!
Turn your spoon into a candle and your plowing through the ice cream as your spiritual teacher. How do we do this?
When the urge starts to come on...take these following 10 steps to heart!
1. Feel the wave like a power force it is not bad it is not wrong; it is to be honored and acknowledge as your creative force.
2. How can you re-direct this force?
3. Don't try when you have your face in the refrigerator but do it after.
4. When you are in a binge slow down, taste your food, light a candle say a prayer feel your body.
5. Love yourself no matter what- no you're a fat pig... you say? Write down what you say about yourself and stop. Transform these thoughts into compassion. Be gentle this is a challenge this is your journey through the underworld and you will be catapulted through to a new world when you are done.
6. Write down what you think about yourself. Then re-write the words like... 'no matter what, I appreciate my body for being alive for being healthy, for digesting my foods, for being alive'.
7. When you are done eating too much, do not allow yourself to then berate your behavior. Instead make a list for how you can use your creative force? Write, read, draw, sing, create, dance, pick flowers think of anything creative.
8. Express yourself fully with everything you do! Speak, write, live, take chances, feel.
9. It is time to fully feel your feelings, feel your body, feel your stomach when you digest your food.
10. Set the intention to transform your thoughts about food, it is not torture your weight loss is not hell, it is your spiritual journey so jump on it!!!
Be proud of all you do, all you eat and wherever you are on your journey with food and body image. This is a sacred journey. A lot of women experience it, so let's enjoy, find the grace and the lessons.
You are divine!
Lets fly on this spiritual path together!
