Welcome back!

On Top of The World

This is my four-month-old grandson, Hieronymous.  His dad is a Photoshopper and has made his son King of the World.  I thought it would be a great picture to accompany today’s topic: how does the lack of self-acceptance show up. Right now, Hiero is completely accepting of everything and I think getting to that stage is where we’re headed.

Now this is a topic that will definitely require your comments and feedback because all I can share with you is what I’ve experienced myself and what I’ve read about.  I absolutely have to have your feedback as to how the lack of self-acceptance shows up in your life to help flesh out the subject.  So please, do leave a comment, won’t you?

Here is a partial list of how I’ve seen this lack show up.

• Staying in a job too long for too little
• Dating men I know aren’t good enough
• Getting sucked into doing things that I don’t want to do
• Not being able to just say “No.”
• Maintaining mistaken senses of self, poverty, inability, size
• Anger over the manipulations of corporate management
• Emotional freeze about interviewing for a job
• Lack of taking any action steps
• Thinking that one deserves the ills that befall him or her
• Making-do with lower quality goods and services
• Refusal to do what it takes to maintain a healthy or beautiful appearance
• Habitual complaining and pointing out the faults of others

I need your points to add to this list.  Please, please, please leave your comment.  It will become part of our new teleclasses and everyone will pitch in to help you get past your shtick. We need you!!!

I hope this has provoked some deep thinking on your part.  That’s what has to happen so that you can heal spiritually.  Recognize, vow to change, change.  Good luck!

Love,

Pat

Happy Monday, y’all.  This is a quickie update on the progress of my mental weight change project.  It’s about what I’m doing, how I’m doing it, and precisely what I’m thinking.

WHAT I’M DOING:

I have set aside three specific times every day to sit down quietly, calm my mind, and focus on my shape change project.  During this time, no music or TV is playing.  I’m nowhere near my computer so I can’t hear emails arriving.  I have created a space where I can focus my thinking.

HOW I’M DOING IT:

I think through every word of my Mind Model (following) and I work to embue the deepest feeling I can into each of the words, knowing they are true of me right now.

WHAT I’M THINKING:

This is my updated Mind Model.

My mind:

• • is perfect in it’s incipiency
  • is youthful and mature
  • is flexible and forward thinking
  • is strong
  • is organized, systematized and tight
  • is ageless

My body

• • cannot think
  • is my mind’s report card – a mirror image
  • is perfect in it’s incipiency
  • is youthful and mature
  • is flexible
  • is strong
  • is organized, systematized and tight
  • is ageless

My appearance

• • is beautiful
  • is youthful
  • is tight, taut, and toned
  • is lithe and lovely
  • is strong
  • is normal

Diet & Exercise

• • are mental
  • encompass all spare moments
  • are fun and fulfilling
  • guarantee absolute success
  • are a mental, permanent, cure
  • I am fed three times a day with right thoughts
  • I am exercised three times a day with right thoughts

My mental attitude

• • permeates my aura with the sweetness of success
  • smells just like confidence
  • is one persevering mother
  • is uplifting and joy-filled
  • has brought me to my last stately steps, these

I ALSO THINK THIS TREATMENT IN A LESS FORMAL SETTING:

I try to “pray without ceasing” so those times when I’m not sitting down to meditate on my Mind Model, I say this to myself.  Great for driving. I hold a specific picture of me at a more ideal weight when I say these words to myself.

I love to think that I am slender

and I am absolutely convinced

that thinking slender creates slender for me

because only thought is causative and I know it.

This is the format for mental work recommended by Wm. W. Walter.  I find it most effective. Using mental means alone, I’ve now lost 10 lbs since Jan 4th.  Hoo yah!

And here’s a special tip for those who are following me:  also think that your skin is shrinking along with your body.  No sense having surgery.  You can shrink the skin mentally as well.

Love,

Pat

I hope you liked yesterday’s posting of the first chapter of my book My Cats Have Seen Me Naked. Today, I have another gift for you.  It’s one of the Top Ten Lists I created for those who join our Community.  You’d have to be on the inside to see this, so, here’s my gift to you.

Top Ten Ways to Discover the Details About Your Intrinsic Goodness

1. Make a list of the things you do with some level of skill. Only your intrinsic goodness would permit that.

2. Ask your closest friend what he/she thinks is your strongest character point.

3. Ask a relative who knew you as a small child to tell you what you did well at an early age.

4. Take a course about human psychology and craft a list about you as you study it.

5. Without speaking, just observe your reactions throughout the day. What’s good about them?

6. Who have you been caring for all your life? Bet you didn’t say “Me.” That kind of caring is an indication of goodness.

7. Do you volunteer your time to help others with their projects? Goodness motivates your generosity.

8. Expressing acceptance about your appearance as you pass a mirror is an indication of intrinsic goodness.

9. Do you stand in awe of a beautiful sunset, a dew drop on a flower petal, or a baby bunny? Your goodness permits that appreciation.

10. Enter into deep, silent meditation and ask yourself to share some more about your goodness with you. It will. There is so much more. Write it here.

If you haven’t read the book My Cats Have Seen Me Naked, you’re invited to visit our Bookstore. My Cats wants to come home to your library!

Please send this document to another obese woman who could use a fresh perspective. Ask her to read My Cats and to sign up for Insights, our ezine.

With gratitude for all the things I am Giving Thanks for today and with love,

Pat
