Whom Are You Becoming?

When you set your life affirming intention to lose weight, whom do you imagine yourself becoming? Spend thoughtful time with this essential question, for you can then ask that person, your Future Self, to guide you on your journey to body harmony. Sustainable weight loss cannot be accomplished without deeper awareness of the dream to be realized. Understand that reconciliation with your body doesn’t come from a fad or a pill, it begins in your soul. Sit quietly, look deeply, and listen.


To fully envision living into your potential, you must first make introductions to your wise Future Self. Who is this wise Self? It is you at your core, and it’s been standing guard over your hopes and dreams, waiting for you to take notice. Where does the wise Future Self live? It does not live in the intellect; although, the intellect becomes a very powerful tool when placed under its reins. Neither does it live in the heart, but destructive emotions diminish and joyous feelings bloom when they are entrusted to someone wiser than the ego. The Future Self is a spark of divinity living inside each of us, perfect and whole. Perhaps you have forgotten yours or you were never taught to look deeply within, but your wise Future Self does exist and eagerly looks forward to your consultation. Sit quietly, look deeply, and listen.


Why does this matter? Every moment spent embracing your Future Self reveals a moment of freedom. You don’t need another restrictive diet, appetite suppressant, or pricey gimmick; you just need yourself. With the counsel of your Future Self you can construct the bridge to your most thrilling, authentic life. That Self is waiting for you, an endless reservoir of wisdom, courage, creativity, and resourcefulness. When you listen to it, you allow joy and success to unfold. Please, sit quietly, look deeply, and listen.

Radical Self Love

Losing weight in the pursuit of a healthier life is an act of radical self love: that art of claiming the magnificent, thrilling life that rightfully belongs to you. Radical self love demands daring, courageous work to boldly buck tradition and culture to live authentically from your soul’s passion. To love yourself radically means prioritizing your own well being first, all of the time, and committing to the quest for greater physical health requires nothing less. Nature hardwired us with self love from the very beginning. We just forgot. No one is to blame for this forgetting; what matters is the thrilling discovery that the health we need and desire already thrives within us.


Living the life eternity has dreamed for you achieves mankind’s highest potential, for honoring your own divine spark exponentially expands your capacity to love others. Envision the possibilities for an Earth populated by people of healthy body, mind and spirit. Cherishing your physical body is an essential ingredient in your fulfilling life. Imagine! The human body shines as the most complicated, creative, magical machine on Earth, and you possess your very own. Even for those who believe we exist solely as the result of billions of cosmic coincidences, the extreme good fortune to inhabit the human form seems obvious. Let’s not make waste of it.


When you practice the art of radical self love, previously unseen abundance, opportunity and possibility arrive in all arenas of your life and spill over on anyone you touch. All the health you ever need resides inside you. Listen to your inner knowing and act from that wisdom, that self love. Shed the cloak of victimhood, claim your power, and open your mind to your life's infinite potential. Don't wait for permission to live joyously. This is what you were designed for!
