I'm too Sexy

I'm Too SEXY! just saying that feels good. Doesn't it? How many times do you say that? and How many times do you judge you?

Yesterday we spoke about becoming friends with our body once again ,"How and why do we do that?", some may ask.

Well! our body is the only friend that is with us from the day we are born to the day we die. However the irony of the situation is, that, in stead of keeping that friend happy and saying good things to the friend who will be with us through thick and thin we are in continuous judgment of it.

We call it names like fat, too skinny, too week or ugly.

Now for a moment put yourself in the same position, where there is this friend of yours who is constantly putting you down. The moment you wake up, the first thing she does is judges you. Just like the moment we wake up and check out ourselves in the mirror and go, “ oh gosh look at the fat around my belly, no way, I’m too fat to wear this? I’m too lazy - nothing looks good on me - I have to be on a diet - again I did not go for that walk I’m pathetic, and more. This is just the tip of the iceberg, how many times in a day do you communicate to your body in this manner? Is that not a judgment of you? Are you not constantly complaining and judging your body? Who would really like to listen to a friend like this?

Exactly! No one. That is the reason my friend, that you get into the vicious circle of weight gain and loss, don’t enjoy it and don’t even get anywhere.

 The way out of it is, to begin the process of enjoying your body and befriending it once again. Talk to your body like your best friend. What if you could just wake up tomorrow morning and go, "I love me just the way I am" How do you feel when you say that? Some may resist and think, "this is bullshit", and some may be able to receive the new energy.

You may resist it because it is new to you, this is a new space and you have not been taught to look at your fabulous body in any other light other than judgement.

I’m not saying don’t do the healthy eating, or don’t exercise, that would just be stupid. What I’m trying to get at here is start being in communion with your body, asking what it would like to eat, wear, do, in stead of judging it all the time. Start having fun with your body.

And once you start communicating with it, the whole process of weight loss becomes easier because now you don’t have to force yourself to do all the crash diets that others are doing, you are no longer competing with anyone, you don’t have to follow the crowd but you can decide for yourself, by communicating with your body
A few questions to begin with: 
Body what would you like to look like?
Body what would you like to wear today?
Body what would you like t eat?
Do you want to eat, go for a walk or do you want water?
What movement would you like today?

What the body likes, WORKS.

I would love to let you in on a secret.  No two people are the same, no two bodies are the same and hence what works for one need not work for another. Be true to yourself about what works for you, and enjoy the lasting results thereafter.

BE YOU BE TRUE

BE SEXY!
