If you start going to the gym, only to stop again, and start again and stop again… keep reading…
This may be the most important Law of Attraction article you ever read.
First of all, you aren't sabotaging yourself. You're trying to save yourself.We are ten times more likely to do something to avoid pain than we are to feel good.
When you are “failing” at your diet, or “all of a sudden” unable to work out at the gym anymore due to finances, an illness, your schedule or an injury you are not sabotaging yourself.
You are trying to save yourself.
Here's why:
A part of you feels that being thin would cause you pain.
True Story
This is me, telling you my true story. Today I weigh 10-15 pounds more than I did when I met my husband.
I weigh 25 - 30 pounds more than I did in college.
Sure, I could blame eating habits, growing older or any number of things as to why I weigh more, but none of them are the real cause.
The real cause is something in my unconscious.
Get Honest With Yourself
I've been thinking “I want to be thin” ever since my daughter was born.
But as time goes by and I'm not that “svelte weight” anymore I have to get real with myself. I can talk up a storm about being thin but until I am, something inside of me is not in agreement with my conscious goal. Why?
Over the months I've been pondering that and results I've found have shocked me.
Law of Attraction Shows You What You Really Think
By not judging myself for being “overweight”… By not judging my actions of eating chocolate…. I've been able to observe my thoughts without emotional repercussions, self-criticism or internal fighting.
And what I've discovered has really opened my eyes.
I don't really think “thin” would be good for me.
When I think about being thin and I let my thoughts run wild (instead of just trying to “think positive”) I am able to see the “real” feelings I have about being thin.
When I think about the last time I was thin, this is some of what comes to me:
I think about painful dating experiences from my past.
I think about uncomfortable situations where strange men hit on me in public.
I think about times I was physical with a guy only to have him never call.
I think about high school where I had problems with females (seemingly “normal” situations for that time of life where girls were jealous of one another, etc.)
I even think about things from the media - like the movie I just watched called “North Country” where only the thin, pretty women were attacked by the men physically.
Or the magazine article I read where Jennifer Aniston felt violated because someone took pictures of her sun bathing topless on the deck of her own supposedly-safe, secluded home… and I thought how glad I am that I don't have to worry about that because I'm not thin like she is.
These are just some examples of the thoughts that come to me.
So Now
And now that I'm married and I have a kid and I'm happy and I love my relationship… I don't want to be bothered!
It seems a part of me wants to just blend in with the crowd so I can quietly go about my business in peace.
Some part of me feels I will remain and happy if I'm not bothered by men anymore, if I don't have to deal with dating or being “hit on” anymore.
In other words… some part of me doesn't want to be thin.
Law of Attraction Rule: You Have To Feel Positive
So if you want to be thin, when you think about thin people, being thin yourself now or the “last time” you were thin and you have fears, challenges or worries come to mind…
You will NOT allow yourself to become thin.
(At least without a huge fight.)
But if you can “think thin” and when you picture being thin, and you picture the last time you were thin and you think about thin people and what comes to you are positive things….
Then you are in energetic alignment with thin…
Then all the parts of you, unconscious and conscious and in-between are in agreement about getting thin…
And so getting thin is a real, viable and even easy option.
That's how the Law of Attraction works.
Law of Attraction And Your Unconscious
Now, listen…
Those stories I just shared with you about what comes to my mind when I “think thin” weren't on my mind.
What I mean to say is - until I started writing about what “thin” brings up in me I had no idea those things were bothering me on that level.
But when I bring “thin” into the picture - there they are!
We can have a memory from our past that doesn't come in to play often. It can be associated only with certain key things - some of them surprising.
So the reason why writing things on paper becomes important is because writing activates your subconscious - and that's where any conflict with your conscious goal lives.
What's Going On With You?
Here is Law of Attraction in action.
Get out a piece of paper right now and say “I want to be thin” or “When I think about thin I think about…” and let your hand write and write without editing it.
See what you really think about being thin.
Or write about “When I think about dieting…” or “I want to diet…” or “I want to work out at the gym…” or… {pick a statement about your weight or getting in shape} and see what comes out on paper.
What you see on paper is what you are “activating” every time you try to move towards “thin”.
So while you are using Law of Attraction and consciously working on your Thin Goal, all the other parts of you (unconscious, energetic, vibrational) are dragging along all of that other stuff with it…
…and if it's a mixed bag like I've got, chances are you're getting a mixed bag of results like I've been getting.
Law of Attraction States: You Have To Be In Alignment
Unless you want to force yourself to change through sheer willpower (and then maybe put the weight on again later) all parts of you must be in alignment for you to manifest what you want.
Until then, you will always be fighting yourself.
But for now, get out some paper, get out a pen or pencil, and start playing around to see what's really going on in there when you state “I want to lose weight” or “I want to be thin”.
Explore. Enjoy the process of seeing what's in there. Don't judge - just look and learn.
