I should so know everything you just told me because I took a three day seminar on all of that stuff. Robert and Michelle Colt, life coaches (mainly for actors) taught the seminar and are absolutely amazing people. I think I actually mentioned them to you before. http://www.actingsuccessnow.com. They talked about vibratations and everything else that you mentioned in your post. Like you said about orange cat, they said never say “don’t forget,” instead say “remember.” You should check them out because you are all on the same wavelength.

I think I also mentioned Holosync to you and you said that you had some problems with it. (I know I mentioned it to someone, pretty sure it was you).

Everything that you said, and that Michelle and Robert said, and the whole law of attraction thing makes perfect sense. You essentially create the life you want. You map it out. I get it, I just have a problem doing it because of obstacle. I’m not sure what my obstacles are, but I know one of them is the negativity, or self-doubt that I have. I’m not really sure. I know I want to be a country singer but don’t think I am good enough and though others disagree, I can’t get that negative thought out of my mind.

I think I probably just made no sense. Hopefully I did.

Hi Palmtreechick, Great answers! I’m wondering if you could turn them into what you DO want, rather than what you don’t want? Check out this post on Law of Attraction – which basically says we get what we vibrate. So if I said, don’t think about an orange cat, the first thing your mind would do is think about the orange cat.

One way to train your mind is to put in thoughts that you choose to have and catch the thoughts that limit or imprison you — replacing them with those thoughts you want. Your brother planted a thought into your head that became a belief. You now have a strong nerualpathway between that thought and your actions. That neuralpathway can be broken by continuing to “train your brain” with the things you DO want — actually even better, the hings you CHOOSE. This empowers you.

With love,
Heather

I guess the first thing that comes to my mind Heather, is not having to worry or think about what I’m going to eat. How I can get out of eating. How many calories I’ve burned. What the scales says and how fat I look. Also, not having to feel like I have to go to the gym everyday and workout for a certain amount of time or burn a certain amount of calories. I’d like to not go if I don’t feel like going, or just outside and do something instead, rather than in addition to. I’d also not like to worry about getting home too late at night, even if I’m having a good time, because it would mean being tired for my workout in the morning.

I guess the thing that started it all for me was the summer before my freshman year in high school when my brother said, “you could stand to lose 5 lbs.” At 5 ft tall, I weighed probably about 105. It’s an awkward stage of life for girls, as you know. We get a little “pudgy.” So, that’s when I started watching what I ate. Who thought I’d still be so involved with it 14 years later.

Hi Palmtreechick, thanks for your comment — if it’s babbling you’re doing, keep it coming, I love to hear from you!

I wonder, is your weight another form of competition? In some ways, I think it was for me. I think it stemmed a bit from my wanting to be so the opposite of my sister that I tried to become this perfect person — and thin was part of it. In that way, I could compare myself with her and feel like I was ok. From there, it just went on to perfection in everything — a constant thriving with no destination.

The great thing in your words is the part you wrote about never being overweight…then, by any means but your own. So inner wisdom knows it’s you who is competing with you or some idea of perfection. What else does your inner wisdom say about letting that go? What’s the first thing that comes up when you ask yourself that question?

With love,
Heather

I still LOVE that elephant story (not really a story, fact I guess).
My dad was also an athlete and my sis and bro too, so as the youngest, I was always out in the yard playing ball with them and going to games and what not. I followed that lead and played 2 sports in college. Man, I miss the competition!!

It’s weird, no one in my family had any weight struggles or issues, so I don’t know where my issues came from. I’ve never been overweight by any means but my own. I don’t really think that I’m “overweight,” just fat and need to lose 10 lbs.

I’m totally babbling so I will shut up now b/c I don’t know what this has to do with your post.
