Welcome back!

Mammoth, CA

Remember the saying “What you think is what you get?” It became painfully obvious to me during a class I’m taking of the truth of that saying.  I’ve been thinking of my body as a size 3X and whining about it inside myself.  Something snapped in me about three months ago (I know it’s connected to my thoughts about my cash flow) and I’ve gained weight and size since then.

The difference about this time though is that my awareness of the process is heightened.  I’ve been observing what is going on in slow motion.  I saw myself get scared about the finances.  Fear is debilitating, and I realized how much fear there has been around the topic of money much of my life.  I have become aware that it is this fear that I encapsulate with my largeness. The more fear, the more fat.  It’s been spiraling upward much of my life.

I crafted a new plan for myself.  I am working assiduously much of the day to keep the accurate thoughts from my new mind model topmost in my mind.  Last night, during my class, I had this incredible awakening about that 3X topic.  I am not prepared to share the details with you just yet - of course, if you’re dying to know,  you can email me or call me and I’ll share one on one. But I can tell you that my mental work has been made more accurate and kicked up a notch.  I have the test of tests going and if my experimentation proves accurate, you’re in for one hell of a tip next Thursday.

In the meantime, think the size you want to be.

Love you,

Pat

I laugh at my challenges

Life is giving me a run for my money, literally, these days.  Without going into all the gorey details, my bank account has been tapped again and again and again over the last few months.  It’s been a bit disconcerting to have all these novel (although valid) charges continue to hit me.  Today, the last straw arrived.  I’ve been awaiting a wire transfer from a client who lives out of the country, and MY bank (that’s as in Arrrrgggghhhhh!) refused to accept the money into my account. I was dismayed over this news just a few moments ago.

Now, in the past, these were all great reasons to quit the work I was doing to mentally lose weight.  I’d throw up my arms in dispair and figure, “Oh the heck with it all! I’ll just go comfort myself with food.”  And that would be the end of my project.

Do you recognize the Dieting Cycle? I’ll bet dollars to donuts that you’re in it.  It’s called Diet, Quit, Despair, Guilt, Motivate, Diet, Quit, Despair, Guilt Motivate…..and the cycle runs on and on, and on, and on, and on.

At some point, you have to step out of the cycle, recognize what your behavior has been when you are in it, and then resolve not to go back to it again.  It’s hard, ladies.  It’s hard not to diet.  It’s hard not to get weighed and allow those numbers to make you feel good or bad.  It’s hard to quit doing what you’ve always done even when it isn’t working.  We’re like rats in a maze running the maze for no cheese at the end.  It’s hard to find other things to motivate you.  It’s one heck of a challenge to find another way.

I found another way.  My entire website, my book, my teleclasses, and this blog are all about another way - a different approach - a mental way.  And it works.  I’ve lost 35 pounds since last thanksgiving using mental means alone.  Courtesy of my lifetime of experiences, I learned that life is good, life is mental, and life is individual.  I think back to the movie The Truman Show and the same lessons I learned all tucked into that movie.  If you haven’t watched it, I recommend it.  Think about “good, mental, and individual” as you watch it and you’ll see it.  And if you don’t, email me and we can talk.

The moral of this blog is:  even if you become scared because of the tap on your monies, don’t deviate from your mental weight loss project.  The two are not connected.  Why go down on two fronts? Isn’t one enough?  Keep doing  your mental work to see yourself losing weight.  You will.

It’s about making a mental mind model.  It’s about persevering in thinking that mind model three times a day.  It’s about expecting success.  It’s about being singleminded and not letting yourself get distracted when Life waves Nah-Nahs in your face.  I give myself an A+ today.

Love,

Pat
