change the “reaction” channel in your brain
April 15th, 2014Change the “reaction” channel in your brain.
We’ve all heard it before.
“You can’t change what you can’t change..but you can change how you react to it”.
BUT…
how do you do that?
It’s really a simple plan that takes a lot of practice and practice and practice…
For those of you who are old enough to remember dials on the TV; picture one of those.
If not; picture a remote!
When a situation beyond your control “happens TO you”; it is YOUR CHOICE how to REACT.
One great way to make a frustrating, hurtful, bad, negative occurrence a positive one for yourself is to imagine CHANGING THE CHANNEL of your REACTIONS to these negative outside situations.
When you visualize actually changing something physically (the dial or remote), your brain will more easily accept the change…even if it doesn’t make sense.
Like…
someone makes a comment that is “obviously” negative about you, your performance at work, something you did or didn’t do, etc.
Your first thought and then reaction would “logically” be negative also.
Then, you will be thinking negative thoughts…
feel badly about yourself…
boom! the outside situation has won.
You want to be able to turn the outside negative into an internal positive.
By changing the channel in your mind with a visual you can CHOOSE which channel to change to…negative or positive.
Something “outside force” happens negative.
You change the internal channel to Positive.
Your brain and all your following thoughts will be positive.
“I bet that person is having a bad day…I know I didn’t do anything wrong..I choose to feel good”.
don’t be afraid to close one door
April 10th, 2014This morning I believe why I came to be know as “The Motivator Lady”…
For the past 5 years I’ve been going through a lot of emotional “changes” with my aging but so very vital parents.
Recently things have gone into high gear with regards to financial security and sustainability for them.
I woke up saying “DANCE IN THE PUDDLES…YOU CAN’T STOP THE RAIN”.
Although I’ve heard “dance in the puddles” many times…I think today I really “get it”.
In life, we can only control the things that we can control.
“Sayings” come from reality…
“Give me the serenity to change the things I can…
Accept the things I can’t…
And the wisdom to know the difference”…
These words are all dancing in my head.
This morning the MEANING and PEACE of these sayings overpowered the mere words.
Let’s all allow some doors to close so we may experience the greatness that awaits us with the next door opening.
That beautiful, colorful and adventuresome scene Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz saw when she opened the black and white door is forever etched in my memory. This morning…I believe it…I feel it.
I want that for all of you.
oh my…a piece of pie…
February 17th, 2013please click here to visit the full intuitiveeating4ever newsletter/blog
Why does it seem that “everyone else” (i.e. those naturally thin people) can have all the special holiday goodies they desire. Do you think they worry that tomorrow the scale won’t be their best friend? What goes on in their head when confronted with such tempting choices…warm cookies fresh from the oven…hot apple pie topped with real vanilla ice cream…mashed potatoes…egg nog…baked brie drizzled with caramel…
We watch them go for firsts, seconds and dare we see them return again for more?
Guess what? Naturally thin people and intuitive eaters don’t over think about what they are going to eat whether at a holiday party or just relaxing at home with family and friends. If they’re hungry and in the mood for a particular food…they just reach for it and enjoy each bite…the texture…the flavor…the presentation on the plates…
It never enters their mind that they “shouldn’t” eat this or taste that. They realize that they can have that food again at a later time when they are hungry for it. It’s better to feel satisfied and just plain “not hungry anymore” than that “oh my god I’m stuffed”, “take a pin and pop it” feeling. They don’t have an instant and constant dialog going on in their head when they reach for their food. “Will I be bad or good?” “If I eat that piece of pie that looks so amazing what will I think of myself after?” “Well, if I go to the gym for 3 days in a row, then it’ll be okay if I eat it”…”No I can’t, I’ve been so good today”. “Why can ____ have this pie and never gain an ounce”…”I bet I’m gaining a pound just thinking of eating it”…”I really don’t NEED that piece of pie, I have willpower, I can be good”. “How bad can just one piece be?????” And on and on and on and on.
Guess what that naturally thin or intuitive eater thinks about when they see that piece of pie?
“Yum”!!!
That’s it. No big battles. No rationalizations. No conversations going on in their heads…
just “ok”, or “no thank you”.
What a concept!

the first five
August 19th, 2012please click here to visit the full intuitiveeating4ever newsletter/blog
Think about this.
It’s true.
Test it yourself.
Watch yourself as an observer.
Don’t judge.
Just think about it.
Might you be thirsty? Or do you really crave food?
Try this exercise when you are hungry…not starving…not full…just comfortably hungry.
The first five bites of anything you are eating if you are truly hungry will taste AMAZING. Remember, you are hopefully only eating what you genuinely LOVE and the best of that food that you can get your hands on!
Take five bites.
Chew them slowly.
Savor each bite.
Feel the texture. Is it hot or cold? Crunchy or smooth. Sweet or tangy…
Put your fork or spoon down and chew slowly and completely.
Check in with your body and see what it’s feeling.
Did the fifth bite taste as good as the first?
I bet not.
With each bite, the flavor and thrill diminishes.
Push your plate away and know that if you are still truly hungry and want more…it will be there for you.
Don’t ever settle for less than the best eating experience.
When you care about yourself, you want the best for your body.
Food included.
