"The Secret" continues

The Challenge of changing your thoughts can seem impossible, but break that word in two, & it says "I'm Possible" 

you can change everything in your life, it is possible! I am living proof!  Let me give you a picture of how.

The last 5 years of my marriage were negative in a way I didn't even realize until recently. We lost 2 homes, had 2 vehicles repossessed, owed the IRS over $90,000 with interest and penalties, had the electricity in our homes turned off more than 7 times, (5 of those 7, in the last 2 years of that 5 year span) had the cell phones turned off almost bi-monthly, & qualified for food stamps, the last 18 months of that 5 years.  Add in to that an abusive husband & a child that moves out the day he turns 18 (while still in high school) and you can understand why I was so negative.

I needed a change but didn't think it was possible. I was stuck, or so I thought. You see what happen as a catalyst to the change, was all I needed. To get out of that marriage I needed either enough money to get a place, or a place to stay. Well the first option seemed grimm. The second was there, but I didn't realize it. I had a place to stay all I needed to do was believe it. So I went out on a limb & believed and this transformation began. Yes there is more, but that explanation is not needed. The key here is: I had to believe and see it in my mind. Actually create the actual scene in my mind to view.

I believed and I was out of the abusive situation, it wasn't over, but now I could begin to believe in more positive things. With each positive thought, I had to play a long tennis volley with my subconscious thoughts. How can you ever get a place of your own without money, and that huge IRS cloud? First things first, I had an income, something a lot of people didn't, a job. But I was on the edge of losing that because of my weight. So add one more thing to worry about, so the tennis volley continues. Positive thought, negative thought, positive thought, negative thought, Positive thought wins.  Then that volley would slow down to maybe only 3 times a day. But it slowed down, and as it did I could see things improving.

So has that volley began? Keep it going with the positive, every time return the negative ball with a positive thought till the positive thought wins. 

Looking at weight loss success is absolutely no different. If you see yourself as a success, then you will unfold that success. But if you only see weight loss as a struggle, then that is what you will continue to create, negative after negative. Volley that negative thought always with a thought that you can be a weight loss success. You will prevail. Start and don't stop. 

Until I post again, start with creating that success movie in your mind & believe it. My story is not finished, it only gets better!

"The Secret" Part 1

I'll never lose this weight, I'll never have money, I'll never be out of debt, I'll never be happy. I thought about these things all the time in cycles.  I was so terribly negative that I began to expect all those statements to continue and never change. As a result my life was miserable for almost 18 years!

Can you relate to how I felt?  If you answered yes, then continue reading. Even if you have had what seemed to be times where everything is going great, yet those negative situations still come back, keep reading. I am going to share with you how you can change your entire life! I will do this over the next few posts, this will allow you time to think and reflect on some things. Get ready, I can't wait to share.

I grew up with a very negative mother who spent very little time with me after I started school, I was 4 when I began kindergarten. My mother was ill and in pain for as long as I can remember, so much so that my brothers and I were left to take care of ourselves after school till my dad came home.  I now realize this was what shaped my negative adult life. During the ages of 4 through 14 are some of the most critical, and influential for a child as they develop a mindset for life. You become who you spend your time with. Grow up with negativity and you can almost guarantee a negative outlook on life, with a negative life as a result. I was a result of that until I discovered the secret about 16 months ago.

I did not realize that what I began to do 16 months ago was actually what I now know of as "The Secret".   Mindset was what I began to focus on 16 months ago. I made the decision to NEVER allow my children to live in fear of having the electricity turned off, having to move because we could not pay the rent, or have to worry about what they would eat or wear ever again. I focused on seeing money in the bank and all the bills paid. I never went back to worrying about not having money again.  Now I will say that I still encounter challenges, but how I look at those challenges and the thoughts that run through my mind are ALWAYS positive.

Here is what you have to think about until I post again. What was the atmosphere like growing up? What have you experienced as a result of those years? How happy are you with where you are right now with your weight loss, and your life? What do you see in your future, positive or negative? DO you think it is possible to change what you think about? Do you believe you have what it takes to achieve what you desire with your life and your weight loss?  Be ready for something with each post to reveal what "The Secret" is. This is just the beginning.
