Welcome back!

I help people.  It’s part of my nature.  Over the last three weeks while I have been working on my own change-the-shape-of-my-body 2009 Project, formulating what I’m going to think, sitting down three times a day and thinking it, matching my food intake to my correct mental concepts, I’ve spoken with many people and given them my best wisdom to help them over the bumps in their road. It happens in small snatches of conversations.

Somehow, someway over this last weekend, all of that generosity with my own wisdom came funnelling down into my own lap.  I was able to see all of the words I’d given to them and how they applied to me.  It was truly a miracle and I experienced the exhilleration of great joy over the insight.  I experienced it for over two days as I processed it into this project mentally because IT was my next stately step. That’s all you have to take you know? One next step.

If you’ll look back into the first or second post this year in the 2009 Project off to the right here, you’ll see my Mind Model.  I have been sitting down three times each day and thinking that Mind Model with the goal of feeling absolutely confident that those words were true of me now.  I knew they were; I wanted to feel that they were.

These words came to me as I was doing my mental work on Saturday: “It is with the greatest joy and exhileration….”  Suddenly, everything else clicked into place.  There was that feeling of absolute conviction that the words were true of me.  From that point forward, I have embued the words of my Mind Model with that sense of joy and exhileration.  It’s like the frosting on a cake, trust me.  I’d had the cake for a while, but that frosting…..well, yum doesn’t begin to describe it.

Another thing also happened along with this sense of the feeling element of Mind behind the words of truth:  I discover that I am doing more mental work. When a TV commercial comes on, I mute the sound and retreat back into my mental work.  It feels so good to be thinking the words along with the feeling of joy and exhileration, that I want to be there all the time!

For the last two days, I awaken an hour before I am due to get out of bed and I just lay there and do mental work.  Same before I fall asleep at night.  Even my cats jumping on me to make me get up and feed them has no effect.  I don’t want to leave my sense of exhillerating joy to do anything else.  Of course, practicality usually wins.  I AM here writing all this for you today, right?

So here’s what I’d recommend for you if you want to lose weight mentally:

1. Get a copy of my book.  All the tips are in there.
2. Create your own Mind Model.  Specific How-To’s are  in the book.
3. Sit down and think your Mind Model three times a day with the thought in your mind to arrive at a deep-seated, absolute feeling of conviction. When you do the work, that feeling will come.
4. Continue to do the work until the new body you want has manifested.
5. Come back and keep reading the blog.  It will help you stay on track.

One more thing - I lost one pound last week through mental means alone. I felt a bit disappointed because generally the first week on any program usually brings a bigger reward.  And then I remembered what a dear friend of mine once told me: “If you can lose one pound mentally, you can lose them all.” So I consciously let go of the sense of disappointment and grasped on to the “lose them all” and I intend to hold on to it until ALL are gone. That might be a really long time, but I’m the girl for the job.

Love,

Pat
