Words To Live By.
I adore inspirational beauty quotations, this we know, but few move me as tremendously as the Marianne Williamson quotation posted yesterday. Not only do I adore this visionary quotation, but feel it more like a personal and professional credo. If ever there were words to live by, these would be they…absolutely!
It’s True…A Cloud Cannot Put Out The Sun.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” -Marianne Williamson

Slim Down With Gratitude.
Why not? If we’ve learned anything about diets, it’s that they rarely continue to produce results in any long lasting way, shape or form. Well, that certainly rings true for diets used alone and without any major attitudinal adjustments to one’s self-perception. Even then, it’s more than likely that it is our meaningful shift in how we relate to food and our belief in ourselves that is the greater cause for the changes to our body image than any diet would be in itself. Beauty Marked! is willing to bank that if we had a good look at all that we have to be grateful for in our lives, with our beautiful bodies and commit to working towards self-acceptance and love, our weight would automatically settle to a healthy, ideal, and optimally functioning level for as long as we desired. No kidding. Judging from the demonstrated effectiveness of positively affirming only what we truly desire and showing gratitude for our beautiful selves and the blessings that abundantly abound, at every opportunity, our bodies wouldn’t choose to hang on to, hoard or operate as if scarcity were its default setting.
In other words, showing gratitude will both positively and successfully reset our body’s default position from scarcity as its modus operandi, to retraining itself to innately and effectively utilize the abundance of quality food available, employ our positively affirmed thoughts, use anything else that it needs for optimal functioning and release the rest. Out would go the excess stored fat, below par functioning cells, impurities, and toxins. Eventually, our bodies will no longer instinctively stockpile excess on our hips, thighs, tummy or wherever, for a rainy day, so to speak, because it would learn, know and trust that there will always be more superlative goodness, on a great many levels, to come. Luckily, our bodies are quick studies and will soon realize that it can be “at ease” and not cling onto everything that heads its way, but get on with being as it was original designed: Its own uniquely magnificent, whole, complete and perfect self. All that will be left for you to do is just graciously enjoy it for a long time to come!
Affirmation for Optimal Body Weight: I am grateful for the many blessings that I have and am secure in knowing that there is always an abundance of goodness that will fully support and empower me to have a healthy and joyous life.
