Are you fat, are you thin, are you just right? What does your brain think? What does your body think?

Forget diets. If you are thinner or fatter than you think you should be, pay attention.

You have to make your brain and body agree on your appearance and state of health. When they develop a committed consensus, they will conform.

Sit back, relax. In your minds eye look your body up and down from the tip of your toes to the top of your head. Imagine how you want your bones dressed. Imagine that your body is very healthy.

1. Take a deep breath and imagine your breath flowing through your body and dressing your bones the way you think you should look.

2. Take another deep breath and repeat.

3. Take a third deep breath and repeat the exercise.

Say to yourself: “Through the miraculous power of my ultra mind I direct my physical body to begin immediately to lose (or gain) weight. This weight will be lost (or gained) only where necessary and with this weight loss (or gain) my body will achieve perfect health.

(You might prefer to adjust the reading to something you feel more comfortable with.)

Repeat the three deep breaths and imagining exercise.

Say to yourself: “Through the miraculous power of the ultra mind, I direct a healing of my appetite so I desire only those foods that are good for me in the quantities that lead to losing (or gaining) weight. With this weight loss (or gain) I am getting more and more healthy.

I am slim and trim and weigh XXX pounds. (goal number of pounds)

Repeat your desired weight throughout the day whenever you think of it.

How Does It Work

You form a consensus between your mind and body that suits both. Your subconscious will work away at creating the physical reality that conforms to your mental picture.

There is some suggestion that you can actually make yourself taller or more busty. I am just refining what I’ve got.

Commit to sticking with this habit of doing this script about 3 times daily. Your body should gradually attain the desired weight and stay there. It you get off track, don’t worry about it, just start again.

It means that a variable, that scientists thought was insignificant, has been able to neutralize the global warming for 10 years. The sun spots and solar flares have disappeared. In the 1700′s they disappeared for forty years and created a mini-ice age. However, after forty years they did come back.

Are we taking that as licence to see whether we can destroy the world before they come back? We don’t know if this is a normal part of the solar cycle or if they will return next week.

Laying a guilt trip is very childish and it’s time to give up such silliness. Guilt is a heavy negative feeling for bullies to lay on people who scare them. Guilt is depressing and pollutes our minds and bodies and communities and the world by de-energizing. If depression is where it’s at, we know how to lay guilt trips and how to depress people. Just look at the Inquisition. What did it achieve other than to make people look like fools?

If we are in danger of freezing or over-heating, the only way we will achieve quality of life is by cleaning up our attitudes, cleaning up our lifestyle and cleaning up the environment we live in. Developing mature brains and supporting the development of mature brains is what will make the world a great place for all particles that call this planet home.  Affirming action is where it’s at.

I would venture to say that any word that allows us to communicate is a valuable part of the English language. Procrastination means putting off, postponing, delaying action until another time. What does that communicate to you?

It means let’s put off until all the relevant facts are in. What if your family is planning a picnic? It is thundering and lightning, the wind is roaring and the rain is pouring down. The weather report forecasts sunshine. Should you cancel the picnic or should you procrastinate for a little while to see if the storm blows over? Perhaps you can enjoy your picnic after all. You could also decide that procrastinating is a waste of time and plan a Scrabble game instead.

Which is the wrong thing to do? Should you procrastinate or should you scratch the picnic? I don’t think either is a wrong choice unless you chose not to procrastinate; the storm actually blew over and you could have had a beautiful picnic in a favourite location and you feel cheated. Either situation would have been a beautiful family occasion as long as you did not choose to invest it with bad feelings.

The solution, in this case, would be to decide to procrastinate until a certain time that would still leave enough time to enjoy the outing. If that time has elapsed and the weather has not cooperated, then go for the alternate plan of a scrabble game and picnic on the living room rug. You might also focus on the alternate plan unless the weather changes soon enough to enjoy the outing. Whichever choice you settle on, do not spoil a family occasion with bad feelings.

There is nothing bad about procrastinating. It leaves your options open until you have the necessary facts to make a decision. Procrastination is just another brain skill to aid in organizing. Do not invest the word with a negative connotation. Use it to empower yourself.

That’s where living well starts. A good environment in which to thrive. It is my belief that a safe comfort zone should exist where you live and where you grow up. Every individual should, ideally, contribute energy to the home that creates an atmosphere of acceptance and an expectation of successful enterprise.

There is all kinds of great stuff to be found on the internet to show you how to develop and reinforce this atmosphere. The House Fairy is an excellent place to start. Her program can be downloaded for $15.00 and will inspire you and your kids to get going and get organized.

It is necessary to prepare yourself for what you want to do. So far we have organized our head by removing stress that might dilute the energy we need to work with; we then gather our energy and focus with meditation. That is huge. It takes discipline to pull that off. It comes naturally when you are young but by maintaining this focus throughout your life, you keep up the energy that makes the doing easy.

You must do. To maximize your energy you must do it “now”, now or in the moment or with mindfullness.

Focus on the physical outcome you wish to manifest and go for it. Go for it now and don’t think about anything except what you are doing. eg. multi tasking does not cut it. If your purpose is to learn to multi task, you might be successful.

The problem with multi tasking is that your focus is divided. You can, however, establish a flowing pattern to focus on that will allow you to multi task for the purpose of the outcome you wish to manifest.

The recommended goal of this exercise is to manifest the desired outcome in the most efficient manner possible. In order to create your optimized potential, you want as much time freed up as possible for the purpose of achieving your next goal. Now is where the power is at. Being in a temper or blaming someone else or moaning and groaning about it may generate some power but it will more likely sap your energy. The power of now, separate from emotion, is amazing.

All you have to do is prepare a family favourite and double the recipe. Do not throw it all in a bowl and put it on the table. Your kids, especially teens are very likely to just keep eating until it’s gone. No, no, no! We are not saving the leftovers that may or may not happen. Plan ahead.  

If you did this every night for a month you would have enough meals for next month. If you occasionally double the meal you would have an occasional backup. 

The second approach is to prepare the basic ingredient that is common to several recipes. The first recipe that comes to my mind is marinara sauce and meatballs work great too. Double, triple or quadruple the recipe and serve it as spaghetti. Reserve the rest in one, two or three freezer containers and add the others to stew, vegetables, soup, lasagna, etc. Make the sauce without meat and throw in frozen meatballs when you are heating it up. Meatballs can be used with many different flavoured sauces or made into stew or soup.
