Here we are week 7!

Take time to reflect week 6

How are you? Are you happy? Are you creating the lifestyle you desire? Are you taking responsibility? Are you having FUN?! Are you letting go?

1) Keep practicing

2) Keep shifting your thoughts

3) “BE” authentic

4) Stretch and move that beautiful body

5) BE clean in your eating

6) Get fibre!

 What do you say or affirm to yourself on a daily basis to keep focused?

I was having a conversation with my 15 yr old son about cause and effect (visualization the Law of attraction) which ever you call it. I asked him “Dustin what do you do when a negative thought comes up in your day”, (remember we are human they will always be there). He replied ” Well, when I ride my bike (o.k. picture this first, Dustin enjoys the thrill of downhill extreme mountain biking!) I always get a fear and that fear is; what if I fall, he pauses and keeps sharing with much deliberation as I was sitting there with this sense of “wow”, he is 15 and I believe he really gets this!. “I will then visualize the end of my run with success and a woohoo, I did it (yes the family uses this exclamation besides me) and that feeling, nervous butterflies turns into a feeling of excitement”. 

 I shared “To me these two feelings are so closely related”. He nodded with a smile

He proceeds again, as I keep asking the questions to get to know his story and belief; what a conversation I’m having with my Son, again I’m elated ” Mom, if I don’t shift those thoughts, then I will never do the things I really enjoy, I will let the negative thoughts control me”. “Uh ha” I say back, “you are so right Dustin, and this works for you”! “YES it does” he replied with a self assurance that even I, need to practice more of.

Now, this will never say that Dustin will be free of any harm or crash, however he is practicing a way of thinking that will have him living a life fulfilled!

So in my mind I’m thinking, this is what is coming up for me this week; “how do I make visualization work?” WOW this 15 yr old is going to have it all, if he chooses to keep this way of thinking up!

By the way Dustin also practices gratitude

Remember, when we listen to others share, we will learn about our selves too :), and this is just what I needed, it is ALL about the feeling when we visualize or use an affirmation, create the end result in your mind and get the feeling of having it, or being there already. (This may take some practice….remember, persevere). When you use an affirmation feel it as it were true to you! Be choosy with your affirmations find ones that resonate with you

Again, there are many many books and authors on this subject, read about it until it is a way of life because guess what, you are visualizing everyday and you may as well create what you desire!

I promise myself

10. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

11. To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.

12. To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

• Look into a balance in your diet this week, look at your diet being more on the alkaline side, as disease thrives in an acidic body. Try adding more leafy greens like organic spinach. upon waking have a nice warm (not hot) cup of half squeezed lemon water and a pinch of cayenne this will not only be alkalizing but also will have a nice effect on your metabolism! I take bee pollen (alkaline) in my whey protein shake (alkaline) and I make sure I eat a green at each meal, organic green tea counts too. You can also supplement with a good greens drink or Spirulina, the ratio is about 75% alkaline to 25% acidic for optimum health. Remember it is all about balance, so you treat yourself once in a while but come back to health.

•  When you are working out, focus on the muscle you are working on, my friend taught me this when I first started with weights, what you want to do is create a connection between your mind and the muscle. See it how you want it to be, the key is to focus as this will also assist with a much more effective weight training session. When you do your cardio, focus on your breathing (in through the nose out through the mouth) this will make you aware of you holding your breath and it can happen during intense workouts!

• Create a vision board or box (my friend did this with her kids, they enjoyed it!) let’s get the kids practicing too! What is it that you desire? Well, we must hold it in our minds and a great way, is having reminders of it all around us…what we focus on we bring about I have one where I work out, my friend and I cut out images of body parts we like. I even have one of an image of an athletic lady doing a handstand on a park bench as that is what I’m working on. When you see it remember to feel it as though it is real for you!

Have a great and powerful visualizing week!

You can do it, you can have it, you can “be” it

You are beautiful
