Wellness Is A State Of Being

People have asked me in the past, how I have lost as much as 50 lbs. at a time. When I have made a commitment to shed the pounds, I haven't done so through any specific diet program. I simply get it done in the mind first and then I make sure to keep vibrating at the "healthy fit lifestyle" energy level. I would say it's mostly my attitude and unwavering faith that get me to that end goal. The weight loss and awesomeness are just byproducts of that state of being.Once I decide to undergo this transformation, it's like in all areas of life, (spiritual, relationship, financial, physical, intellectual), I must first get in the "spirit" of that end goal. How does a healthy and fit person feel, think, speak, act??? I ask God to guide me and make the process effortless and enjoyable. Dare I say, it is almost like tuning in to a specific radio station or TV channel inside me. I just stay focused fully on the end result. I act as if I'm there already. There is no alternative. There are no doubts. It's done. I have accomplished this 3 times already. The first time I lost 50 pounds was before I had children. I only gained the weight back with my pregnancies and lost all of it twice. This time with my third and final pregnancy, I haven't doubted for a minute that it will be the same or an even better result. I felt inspired to document it and share. I am no different from you in the sense that we all have our inner demons attacking our intention. Each time I set forth on the weight loss/fitness journey, I hear all the negative self talk. I have faced challenges, injuries, and setbacks that my inner gremlin loves to throw at me as excuses to quit. But, for me, it's just not an option. I get passionate about this wellness endeavor. I take it on as a fun project. I get filled with enthusiasm and it does become effortless and enjoyable because... I let go and let God. Then, lo and behold! He hooks me up with the most delicious healthy meal inspirations and presents me with several cardio and strengthening activities that are suited to my personality that I end up falling in love with. We are human beings...not human doings. Instead of planning out what you must do to lose the weight...try changing or reprogramming your mind to who you must be. Once you are in the right state of being, expect God to design the perfect plan for you. Allow Him to personally guide your adventure and give you the creativity to choose the right course for you. Then, take action! And keep going no matter what. If you want to change, you must be the change...become it! Never ever give up. You will achieve it, be certain of it!

Most people approach weight loss with fear and loathing. It becomes all about sacrifice and deprivation. With that mentality, you are setting yourself up for failure and disappointment. As a result, you end up with a twisted perspective and a bunch of lies and excuses about why you are not being the person you desire to be. The insecurities and low self esteem then keep you from achieving other goals and dreams. Don't believe your gremlin. Take back your power. You can do it...you really can!

In Fearlessness and Enthusiasm,
