What you think about you bring about.

Perhaps you’ve heard that saying before, or something similar referring to how your thoughts manifest reality.  If that’s true, then all we need to do is think ourselves thin, right?  Well, I’m going to say “yes!” “sure!” “why not?”.  Belief in your ability to be successful has a lot to do with why you do certain things every day, wouldn’t you agree?

“If you think you can, you can.  If you think you can’t, you’re right.” If you think your thoughts might be the only thing standing between you and a healthier you, consider the following:

1. Sauna, sauna, sauna: if you are struggling in any area of your life, get in the sauna!  Yes, we love the needles, but that sauna is out of this world for real, substantial results in not just physical, but also emotional healing.  And fast!  Come to First Friday Ladies Only Sauna Night and hear some amazing stories about healing and “AHA” moments that have allowed our amazing clients to push through to the next level.  Next event: 5 February at 6pm.
2. No fillers, no fakers: There’s no reason to eat “filler” food (Bread?  “Bread is dead!”).  There’s no reason to eat fake food (I could have said junk, I suppose).  Put only beautiful, enriching, delicious food into your amazing body.  Look through the recipes on this blog, in the HBC Recipe Book and coming soon, our menu guide for ideas.
3. MOVE:  Yes, its hard in the wintertime to get outside (unless you love those winter sports), and you may not need the same intense, exercise you get in the summertime, but don’t stop completely.  Find creative ways to get 30 minutes in a couple of times a day.  Take the stairs; park in the furthest spot; get on Tiffany’s calendar for Meridian Exercise; do crunches or leg lifts during the commercials; clean the house (yuk).
4. Be accountable to someone:  This is what helped me lose 40 pounds.  And that’s why I am going to keep running the Weight Loss Club this year.  It works.
5. Focus: Look for the things that sabotage your health and make some gentle changes. I have about 20 passwords for all of my email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. accounts, so I changed a couple of them to reflect my weight loss goal so I am reminded each time I log in.  Oh, and get rid of the candy dish!  Can you believe I had a candy dish on my desk?  It had beautiful dark chocolates in it, but still.  I now have a jar full of pistachios in that spot.
   

We will start the new iteration of the WLC on 1 February.  I hope you’ll join us.  Please make a comment here on the blog or talk to the doctor next time you are in the clinic.
