SURRENDER

When you have gone through the self help list from A-Z and feel as if you are still reeling in the same issue, it can be exhausting emotionally and spiritually.  This is the time that you surrender to the higher Source the part of you that isn’t healing. You, of course still need to keep going through your A-Z list of happy tools, but there are times, it is okay to recognize that you can’t do it all by yourself.

First, STEP BACK - understand that it is alright to give yourself a couple of moments of maybe 10 or twenty minutes each time to just decompress when the soul’s needs get to burdensome to lift.

Second, PASS IT ON TO GOD  - it’s okay to say I’m tired and to ask Him to be the one to handle the comforting effortlessly. Sometimes, even processing mentally and emotionally can reach a dead-end for us. When that happens, just tell Him, it is His turn to pick you up.

Third, STOP - when you hear yourself going through the same broken record of unearthing what went wrong, or your unending why’s, recognize that these thoughts are bottomless pits and they’re noisy. Remember, only in silence and in surrender can you truly feel the presence and effortless comforting you need in these moments.

Forth, LET GO - let Him do the magic, no matter how short it is, always, it is enough to last, inspire and stir us to action even for a few hours.

Lastly, REPEAT – The Higher Source is free and forever accessible, so take advantage of this promo till it is no longer an effort to carry your own weight.

Remember, it is He who said, come to me those of you who are tired in carrying heavy loadsJ

FEELING GOOD

Are you overweight? When you are facing yourself in front of the mirror, do you enjoy seeing the bulges where they should not be? Do you  repeatedly wish that your were more fit, slimmer and even sexier? Do you sometimes wish too that could wear the clothes that you want but can’t.  Sometimes, you need to ask yourself these hard questions. When the answers do not feel good. It is time to move yourself to a drop dead gorgeous plan! Whether you are a man or a woman, letting yourself go is not an excuse.

Watching your girth instead of the weighing scale is the best motivator of all. You see the results right away and encourages you to keep moving on to the next inches. When starting your diet, hold the exercise or the gym till you reach your acceptable size and weight. Often times, exercising while you are still battling your excess weight can turn undesired mass to muscles thus keeping you further away from your slimming goal.

In dieting, you don’t have to deprive yourself. Working around your eating habits or behavior is an effective starting point. An ambitious diet plan can often times fail.

1.      First, go for low calorie diet- Reduce the calorie by a forth of your usual intake. Count every calorie portions for the meals you take.  Learn to read labels and surf calorie count in the net for minimum portions of meats or veggies you may eat.

2.      Next, low carb diet – choose between low calorie carbs that are also filling. A piece of bread, especially wheat bread has lower calories compared to  a ½ cup of rice.

3.      Take 5 to 6 small low cal-low carb meals every 2 to 3 hours rather than your usual heaping meals.

4.      Drink a glass of  cold water before each meal. Cold more satisfying than room temperature water and can put off the hunger.

5.      Wait 10 minutes before helping yourself to a second serving, food expands within this time.

6.      Since it is essentially a no deprivation diet, add more flavorful vegetables to your meals while taking into consideration the calories that go with each flavor.

7.      Break down your timelines, targets and objectives into measurable and doable timeframes. The key is balancing your expectations alongside your habits.

When you like how you look, you have a large leeway for feeling good, and feeling good from within is one of the starting points of genuine happiness.
