Feel Free!

JUST FOR TODAY:  Focus on freedom, instead of that which you wish to be free from.

Anorexia.  Bulimia.  Binge Eating.  Excess Weight.  Obesity.  These are conditions that you don't want – but what do you want?  Think about your vision of freedom.  See yourself living a life of freedom.  Write in your journal about what freedom is like.  Talk with others about freedom.  Feel a true sense of freedom.  If your thoughts drift back to what you don't want, gently refocus your thoughts on being free.  You may be dealing with challenges, but you don't have to dwell there.  You may not be able to change your circumstances, but you can change your thoughts about them.  Thoughts bring forth feelings that lead to actions which determine our lives.
