An Important Note about the Title of This Blog

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. You are here because, like millions of other people, you have an imbalance in your life that is represented by the extra pounds you are carrying around with you. Because I want to talk to this audience, I titled my blog in such a way as to form that connection. HOWEVER, that said, let me now point you in an entirely new direction with your thinking.

When we focus on our weight, we actually create more of it. If we want to be free of overweight, it is imperative that we put our mind on what we WANT, and create more of that. Only a small portion of our consciousness 'gets' the whole negation principle in our thinking processes. The greater part of our consciousness only sees that we are focused on weight, and it figures that must be what we want since we are so obsessed with that, and it goes to work to bring us more of it.

For a fuller explanation of this, visit my blog entry at http://site.unitedhypno.com/blog1/category/practitioners/ramona-young-grindle/ titled Watch Your Focus, Not Your Weight.

For today, practice putting your mind on what you truly want. For example, if you want to look good at an event in a special outfit, then bring that image to mind, step into it, be in it, look out of those eyes, hear out of those ears, feel the feelings and so on.

There is a story that Wayne Dyer tells about a man who was interviewed by an outdoor-type magazine. The reason this man had rated a story was that he had climbed a challenging mountain (perhaps Mt. Ranier?) and he had done so with only one leg. The reporter asked him how he could do something that would be challenging for most people with two legs. He told her that in preparation for the trek up the mountain, he had visualized himself standing on top of the mountain. He had seen what he would see from that position, he had felt the air on his cheek and so on. This man said that he did this a thousand times a day, and as he was going up the mountain one hop at a time, this was what drew him to success.

So, what are you focusing on a thousand times a day? Begin to pay attention to what you are telling yourself that you want. When we resist something (don't want it) we are still focusing on it, and giving it energy in our lives. Wouldn't your energy be better spent creating that which you DO want (more energy, more flexibility, more zest for life, more strength, agility, looking and feeling fit and trim?).

Frame your goal from the perspective of what you want, not from the perspective of what you don't want. Put your mind on that, and focus like a laser beam. You may even want to create a picture of yourself which reflects all of these aspects of your wanting, and post that where you can remember to focus, focus, focus throughout the day.
