How do I get use to living that way and continue living it over time?

Day 65: Salt

This reading has been timely for me in my life right now. I can only begin to tell you how much doing this reading daily and journaling about it has made a profound change in my life. I transformed my body, my health, and my wellbeing. One of the things I talk about a great deal in doing this transformation work is how easy it is to do and how easy it is not to do it as well. We often think we wake up one morning and our lives have been derailed when in fact it is small changes over time that add up to the derailment.

Just as easy as I released 75 pounds from my life I picked up 50 of them again. This is not about shame, or anger. This is about real time day to day stuff that I allowed to pull me from my center and my truth. Once again, the real life lesson under all of this is am I good enough and the what happens if someone doesn't like what I am saying? How many times in life do we sabotage our success because we have become so used to what we label as failure? One of my favorite lines from the movie "pretty woman" is "The bad things are easier to believe."

What I know to be true today is that this is a learned belief and it would serve us best if we let it go. What I know to be true is that I developed a process that I witness in nature working everyday and applied it to my life and it worked. Not once but twice! It worked as I applied it everyday finding gratitude along the way. It also worked when I allowed life to serve up what it would and chose to build a new path to "what was I thinking that I was good enough to have a life like that?"

All of my life I have made my weight about value, how good looking I am and my ability to entrap a person of my choosing. This time has been so different as I learned that loving myself in the process was of the utmost importance. I learned that the person that I really "needed" in my corner was not some handsome knight on a make believe stallion was in fact really the man in the mirror. The greatest lesson I have learned in this experiment is that when I love myself and care for myself in a way that matters my mind, body, and soul respond in a way that is amazing. How do I get use to living that way and continue living it over time? One moment at a time! That is one of the byproducts of blogging over the past year. It is allowed me to see how I grow, how I evolve, and how I transform my life. We are so busy looking for the fast track to success that we miss it running around chasing our tails.

Join me today in being committed to your highest self and allow the ego to have the day off. Demand it actually. We have this and most of all we are built to thrive not merely survive.

Remember that you are loved, and lovable,

Thank you,

Rev Allen
