Do you realize how powerful your mind is? No, I don’t think any of us really knows the power we can tap into. I want you to try something for me, will you? Do you want to release a few pounds – or more than a few?
I’ve been doing this little experiment that was inspired by Gary Craig (the founder of EFT) himself. He did this before he developed Tapping, and he got great results. Think what it might be like to add Tapping! You see, Gary was overweight by about 30 pounds. And no wonder – he ate a bag of Oreos every night! He knew that he “shouldn’t” eat the Oreos, and he also knew that willpower wasn’t going to do the trick. So he started telling himself “My body’s normal and natural weight is 180 pounds.” He told this to himself throughout the day every day. He continued to buy and eat his daily bag of Oreos, and he continued to gently affirm his 180 pound weight. One day he realized that he had gone to the st
ore, but forgotten to buy the cookies. I mean, just forgot. his weight started to drop off. His weight went down and up and down. Then it just started going down – until he got to 180, where it stayed. His oreo habit (addiction) left him. He was able to keep his weight down from then on (and that was over 30 years ago). You see, our mind is like the conductor of our life. If we give it the right instructions, our mind will make it happen. Even if we give it the “wrong” instructions, the conductor will follow orders.
Willpower is NOT what’s driving the train of your life. Your subconscious mind is! So join me as I give my mind some powerful instructions for body weight and function. And adapt them to your situation. Add some tapping while you do this, do it many times a day every day, and I bet you’ll see amazing results. My mantra/Tapping goes something like this: “My body easily maintains a lean, sexy, strong weight of ____ pounds. My skin is nourished and healthy, elastic and vibrant, youthful and clear.”
You can tell your body anything you want. Be sure to put it in as positive language as possible. And tap it in throughout every day. Don’t try, don’t exert willpower. Just let it happen. And notice what your body begins to crave. You might find yourself out for a daily walk, or desiring broccoli, drinking lots of water, smiling more. Try it! And let me know the results.
