Can You Hear Your Body Talk?
Why is it that whatever we want to change in our lives takes up all our time and thoughts? When we are unhappy with our weight, it becomes the main topic of conversation with friends and family. We define our lives, our successes and failures by our current weight. If we see a loss on the scale we are happy, if the scale shows a gain we are unhappy, depressed, and stressed. This was my life for years. Does it sound familiar?
By continuing to focus on what we do not want, we continue to bring more of that into our lives. Think about it. Have you ever been on just one diet? We are always looking for the next best thing, the magic pill or elixir that will give us what we want. The sad truth is that we are getting what we want, more wanting to be thin. When we look for the solution to our weight issues with our conscious minds, we will continue to only see one solution, more diets.
Now is the time to get out of our thoughts. It is time to ask different questions and instead of asking our conscious mind, let’s ask our bodies. Put your hand on your belly and ask questions like:
- Am I hungry? Your body will give you a physical symptom to let you know.
- Have I eaten too much? Your body to will tell you. Check in and see if you are satisfied or stuffed.
- Do I really love a certain food and is it good for me? Your body will show you. After eating, do you feel good or crampy and bloated? Your body is letting you know very clearly if this is a food you can eat again.
- How is my energy? After a meal, are you up for anything or are you ready for a nap?
It’s your decision. What you have been doing in the past no longer serves you. Are you ready to change?
