How to Use Your Powers of the Mind

You are probably wondering… what is the mind-body connection? Well, it refers to the way your body responds to the way you think, feel and act. For example, you may feel strong food cravings when you are stressed out, anxious or upset. You may crave scones or muffins when you feel unloved, alone or unsupported emotionally.

Or, feel like munching crispy sweets when frustrated, eat spicy food when bored, or downright bingeing when harboring dark, unpleasant feelings and just forget about everything...
You know what I’m talking about, right?

As crazy as it sounds, as a society, we’ve been shrewdly maneuvered into erroneously thinking that “comfort food” is the solution to emotional conflicts and releasing stress, that “happy meals” are the answer to our natural desire to be happy and fulfilled.

Food industry’s marketers, who are trained in using the powers of the mind, use the mind-body connection to lure us into believing that food can fill our emotional needs.
But guess what. When food is used as the solution for all our inner needs, there can never be enough. Yes, food can fill us up, but it can never fulfill us.

You have to understand this.

Food can’t heal poor emotional health; food can’t dissolve negative feelings. Merely numbed, they lurk just beneath your consciousness resurfacing almost immediately and keeping you from taking care of your body, eating healthy meals, getting enough sleep, exercising and managing stress.

Let’s face it; whether you like it or not, over time, unresolved negative feelings lead to depression, hopelessness, weight gain, isolation, ultimately stopping you from enjoying life to the fullest.

Mind-Body Connection Explains How…

being overweight is not merely a physical problem; it is rather a problem of your whole being. Whether you like it or not, your body is a reflection of your thoughts, feelings, attitudes and beliefs – a reflection of your emotional health.
Likewise, food cravings are mere reflections of unmet emotional needs – eating specific foods gives you a temporary relief.

In fact, you merely “medicate” your…

  • stress, worry, loneliness, anxiety with soft sweets
  • frustration and restlessness with crispies like nuts and chips
  • boredom, dullness with spicy foods & fizzle drinks
  • resentment, guilt, anger with fatty, salty foods
  • mental/emotional energy drain with dense sweets like chocolate, dried fruits, halva
  • self-hatred and feeling unloved with gorging on food
But it doesn’t have to be like this!

You CAN Transform Your Body with...

your powers of the mind. Stop for a second and let this sink in.
By accessing the mind-body connection you can overcome negative thoughts and limiting beliefs, learn to recognize and avoid people or situations that drain your energy, learn to process painful emotions before they make you fat, unfit and ultimately, sick.
Believe it or not, it is your power of the mind that holds the formula for fast healthy weight loss and successful weight maintenance.

Your attitudes and beliefs are great forces of your mind - no less powerful than pills or expensive medical treatments. You can shift negative attitudes and beliefs and replace them with positive, empowering ones – and the best is that you can do it for free.
By learning to use your powers of the mind you can alter your body.

Enlightening, isn’t it?

Self motivation, mindful eating, proper goal setting, lifestyle choices born from positive attitudes and beliefs, high self esteem and self confidence, are not only required to achieve your perfect weight; they lead you to optimum health, great vitality and happiness. You CAN allow food to nourish you rather than use it as a reward, a bribe or to temporarily “medicate” unpleasant feelings.
