Today I was flipping around the channels and landed on the end of Dr. Wayne Dyer's PBS lecture from his series, "Wishes Fulfilled."
Dyer was talking about our subconscious brain and the unconscious, negative messages we say to ourselves. "Ive always been fat." "I'm not good enough" "I don't deserve ___" , etc. He was making the point that no matter where we are at in our journey to better health and a better life, it's important to believe and envision yourself feeling that end goal. In other words, visualize manifesting your dreams/goals. From the addict who is trying to recover to the obese person trying to loose weight. Changing the recording, or the message in our brain is just as important as actually taking action. His phrase was "does it feel natural?" Does it feel natural to you to be living in a healthy body that is nourished with healthy food and self love? Now, I realize that for some people, the messages in their brain are so strong, and the habits are so ingrained that they may not even know what feels natural to them and what doesn't. I guess another way to look at it is to ask yourself, "does this not feel natural" Do you know that you are meant to feel love, do you know that you have something to offer the world? Does it not feel natural to be living in a body you're not proud of or in a relationship that doesn't fulfill you? If the life you're living and the choices you're making do not feel natural to you, then think about how to change. If you have choices that are within your control, think about the small steps you can take to start feeling and living your natural self!
