*Listen to CD 3 Mind Mint this week* As
you learned in the first CD, “Wants and Needs”, we often confuse emotional
needs with real physiological needs; creating within us a desire to fill
this emptiness with food or other unhealthy behaviors. You are encouraged
to refer to the first CD to reinforce the lessons you have learned about
mindfulness and stress management, and to the second CD,
What is it that you want? You are asked this question many times throughout this “Inner Fitness” program because without a desire, without a goal, there is no motivation. If you are not clear about what you want, and aren't really, really clear, then sometimes conflicting desires can take you away from your deepest wish... but it need only be temporary. It’s ok to learn about what you don’t want by occasionally engaging in behavior that has undesirable consequences. We are all human and we all make mistakes. Look at it like feedback. It feels unpleasant... OK this is not what I want, so now I will correct my course. There is no need to continue engaging in behavior that continues to provide you with the same unwanted consequences. Now is the time to change. You can change your belief; YOU CAN DO IT. You are the only one who can do it for you!!!! Seize the day! “Take a chance! All life is chance. The man who goes the furthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The ‘sure thing’ boat never gets far from shore.” -Dale Carnegie Remember you are steering your ship now, not the inner child nor the inner saboteur. All parts of you are now working together for a common goal. To be your very best, to achieve your goals, it first requires the desire. You have to WANT SOMETHING. When the desire is there, then your motivation to attain the desire is naturally present. Please spend time this week reflecting on what you really, really want. Once you have become aware of what you deeply want then you will be ready to move to the next step: using your imagination to attract and manifest your desire. I wish you the best of life… abundance, health, prosperity, joy, peace and love.
