It's "Okay" to Feel "Sexy" After 40

Summer is here.  At least that is what the calendar says ; )  I recently went through my wardrobe trying to figure out what I had saved from "last" summer that I could wear "this" summer.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that most of them were way too big for me.  What I also noticed is that now that I am thinner, I would never pick the color, styles or patterns that I have in the past. I no longer have the desire to be bland and try to blend in so no one notices me.  I don't need 8 pairs of black pants and black blazers to cover me up to hide my "fluffiness; )  I have two black one-piece swimsuits, one with a diamond-like belt (as if that would draw all the attention away from my gut, butt and thighs ; )  No, this year I'm buying a bright color swimsuit to show off my hard work of "loving" myself.  It's "okay" to feel a bit "sexy" even if no one notices.  The point is "I" did when I looked into the mirror this morning and said, "Lisa, I love you.  What "good" can I do for you today?" Feeling good begins today.  There is no excuse to wait for the "when my kids are grown...when I'm not so busy...I'm too old and my thyroids are causing my weight gain...I don't have time to exercise...I'm past my prime....no one cares...I don't want to feel sexy....  My question to you then is "why not?" My weight loss technique is not about dieting or starving yourself.  Its about loving yourself and understanding what got you "fluffy" to begin with...and healing the wounds from your past.  Its about a fresh start...starting today. What "good" have you done for yourself today?

Life is what we make it

Life is what we make it.  Such a simple sentence yet so powerful.  Eight years ago I took my daughter to see a local television show to see  behind the scenes on how a show is produced.  That day the guest was Dr. Bruce Goldberg, a hypnotherapist.  http://www.drbrucegoldberg.com/  He spoke about hypnosis and how it works on our subconscious mind to accept whatever we choose to believe.  It made perfect sense from a logical point of view.  I spoke with Dr. Goldberg after the show and scheduled a session with him to experience what he was talking about.  That day, forever changed my life.  I signed for classes  soon afterwards to learn hypnotherapy to share with others.

Are you happy where your life is right now?    Are you happy with your weight, your job, your relationship, your family, your friends?  Do you look into the mirror  and see a person who is filled with love and happiness?

Louise Hay is a metaphysical lecturer and author who talks about our subconscious mind and how life is "very" simple.  What we give out, we get back.   If you accept a limiting belief, then it will become the truth for you.  If you believe you are too fat, too poor, incapable of forming a lasting relationship, then those beliefs become true for you.

What is "your" belief?
