Letting GO and Stepping into the Flow
This month I would like to start a blog series from my Soul Coaching® teacher Denise Linn.
“I believe that we should love our bodies, no matter what size, shape or age.
I also know that it’s time for me personally to drop a few pounds. This doesn’t mean that I’m judging my body or thinking that it’s not okay. Actually, I’m profoundly grateful for the body I have and I want to honor it. It means, however, that just like my car needs periodic oil changes, it’s time for a tune up for my body. This 28-day journey is my journey. It comes from my belief that deep within every being is a place of infinite wisdom; a place that knows what is needed. My goal is to tap into this place within myself to gain the needed inspiration and insight to drop some unneeded weight at this time. And hopefully my journey can be supportive of you for tapping into that sacred place within yourself as well.
In the past, when even one person believed in me I was able to accomplish more than I thought possible. I believe that you and I are not that different in this regard. It occurs to me that if we believe in each other, it’s more likely we can each meet our goals more easily.
In this program, I’m not promoting a particular kind of diet or a particular kind of exercise or weight loss program . . . I don’t believe there is one way that’s right for everyone. And personally, I don’t like to suffer or restrict myself to gain a goal. It’s doesn’t usually work when I do. For me, the very best, lasting results come through joy and celebration.”

Here are a list of things for the next 28 days to think about:
1. Be conscious of what I eat and drink, and how I move my body.
2. Live in a spirit of gratitude for every part of my body.
3. Watch the signs every day to see what the Universe is telling me regarding my body.
4. There is a powerful correlation between our homes and our bodies, so in addition to doing some intensive clutter clearing this month in my home, I’m also going to do home repair. (Squeaky hinges and leaking faucets, watch out.)
IT DOESN’T NEED TO BE PERFECT TO WORK!
What You Need:
For this program I suggest three journals. You could also section a journal into three parts, get a three-ring notebook with three sections, or create three separate documents on your computer.
Journal One is for processing what ever comes up for you. You may also answer the questions that are posed in this workbook within this journal. This journal is more-or-less like a diary. It’s a place to really tell the truth about what you are feeling. It’s also a great place to notice the signs that arise every day. It’s true that in every moment the Universe is trying to tell you something. There’s value in listening.
This is also a great place to record your dreams. Often the Universe speaks to you through your dreams. As a suggestion, program your dreams to get information about your body and health. For more information about how to do this my book Hidden Power of Dreams has lots of information about programming dreams.
Record your goals, insights and accomplishments in this journal too. I am going to take before and after photos of myself to put here as well.

Journal Two is for recording what you eat, and whatever exercising/movement you do, as well as how much quiet time i.e. meditation, etc. you have done each day. Record in this journal how many hours you sleep each night. Research suggests that people who get 4 hours or less of sleep are heavier and eat more, and people who sleep 8 hours weigh less and eat less. You also might want to record how much water you drink. Some studies suggest a correlation between water intake and dropping weight. By recording what you ingest and do and how you feel, you might begin to notice if there is a connection between what you are doing and what you feel. Sometimes this is very telling.
Journal Three is for recording your gratitude and JOY every day. There is ALWAYS something to be grateful for. Personally, I use art instead of words. I use colored pencils to draw the things that brought me joy. I find the kinesthetic experience of drawing my joyful moments seems to ingrain them deeper than just writing about them.. This journal is also the place to celebrate your successes. For example, If you normally couldn’t walk to the top of the stairs without being out of breath, this is the place to celebrate that you got to the top of the stair . . . and weren’t out of breath.
It’s time to take control of your life and the choices you make!
