MIND OF BODY

Good afternoon all, today I wanted to write about the importance of our self image in conscious creation, how we view and feel about ourselves is of great importance, true, it goes beyond physical appearances but equally so, it too can be important to feel good in the body we are given. I've always had a very attractive physical appearance, bragging aside, back then I still hated myself, I'd look into the mirror and see the body I wanted, but my mind would always be saying ''but you still can't do anything right, your a failure'', so despite my efforts to work out and accomplish good results my mind and body were completely out of alignment, little did I know my mind would eventually win and sabotage my body, creating stress, anxiety, depression, and every form of dis-ease that goes against the mind-body connection. The more bad I felt the harder I trained, resulting in over training, I felt that I was at a plateau constantly, which I was because I was constantly trying to fill that empty self image void, even though I looked good physically I was insecure and obsessed with my physical appearance. This became an obsessive vicious circle, one with abusing the body and pushing even harder to fix it, and if I was to miss a lift, I would become very cranky and sometimes depressed, and I did not use steroids but I sure behaved like it! No matter how much time and effort I put into training my body, I was never satisfied, I would always receive compliments but they would just push me even harder and harder. Looking back I realize my biggest mistake, my mind was not on board with my body, they were working against each other, now that I've achieved alignment with the two, I work out much, much less and achieve amazing results, I'm in the best shape of my life at 50 years old, and the results of mind-body alignment are astonishing. I just want to say that through alignment we can have the body we've always wanted, but we first MUST be fine and comfortable with the one we have now, this is paramount!, we have to look into that mirror and say honestly ''I love you just the way you are'' to ourselves, otherwise we cannot move forward and accomplish this goal, it's very important to love yourself first, no matter what the mirror shows you. Your inner being wants you to always feel good about yourself, despite what you see physically, you are a spiritual being in a human body, this is an important higher truth that MUST be recognized and accepted in order to achieve the results you desire, and it is your inner being that helps you accomplish any physical changes you wish to make. Yes, we are creators, and just as easily as we can create wealth, happiness, and soul mates, we too can create the bodies we want, nothing is impossible!, it's just that we must value ourselves for who we really are, not who we want to become, because we may feel that we won't be happy UNTIL we have that dream body we want, but we must accept and approve of who we are now, I've been there and that good body became an unfulfilled obsession that would cause unease and abuse and insecurity. For those who wish to lose weight or just feel better about the body you are presently in, it's so important to align to your inner being first, to accept that it's okay to be where you are physically and visualize where you want to go, your higher self will go right to work, and this is one area where I advise massive action be taken, no couch potatoes allowed!
