Weight Loss Obsession vs. Intuitive Soulful Observation

JUST FOR TODAY:  Be aware of any "negative chatter" in your mind – about your weight, your eating, your relationships, your job, your finances, your life.  Gently notice this chatter, and shift to intuitive and soulful support for yourself.

Our mind doesn't get a "day off." It thinks, and thinks, and thinks.  Like a computer, we program our mind what to think about.  How can I lose 10 pounds as quickly as possible?  I'll think about that.  How many calories in that meal I just ate? I'll think about that.  Does my partner think I'm too fat?  I'll think about that. Is that what you really want to think about?  What would happen if you could catch yourself when those "obsessive" thoughts show up, and gently "observe" them, in a very intuitive and soulful way?  Notice, without judgment: Isn't that interesting.  There I go again, into that negative chatter.  What is something more intuitive and soulful that I can think about instead?  And then your mind will think about what it could think about instead of all of that "negative chatter."  It will start to ponder intuitive and soulful questions, such as: What is going well in my life right now?  What do I want more of in my life?  What can I do today create more happiness for myself and others?  Choose to be the intuitive and soulful thinker today.
