Are Your Gifts Hidden Beneath Your
Weight?
By Susan James
I am very much like you. I came to
this experience with some gifts to express while I was "here". 196 pounds
kept me from a lot of those gifts.
The Susan that is writing this now, is not the
Susan of 196 pounds. I was always optimistic and enthusiastic and positive
about life; BUT, at 196 pounds there was this other place in me, that just
could not find out what happy' meant. I had hope, faith, charity, optimism,
enthusiasm, but "happy" kept looking for its place, but there was not
one.
Happy....which these days, I call "happy beaming"
comes from not being hidden. You can't hide happy ! Happy wants to spew and
play ! 196 pounds hid that part of me. I play a lot. I have lots of affection
for what I do & I have fun with it.
Yes, I lost the weight, and yes, I then gave
myself permission to display my gifts, and I had and have several, just as
you do.
As I began counseling others on weight loss,
many times I would move the conversation from food and weight and issues
of their life, to what was it they loved to do? Many times these things that
folks loved to do, they were not doing in their lives. And Or, they had never
even stopped to ask themselves that kind of question.
And then they would pause and wonder why they
never asked themselves that ?
Many times these things they loved to do, were
gifts they had. Things they could share with others, and things they could
build a livelihood or business on.
I remember one girl, she was in her mid 30's
at the time. She really enjoyed doing nails'. You know those acrylic
nail things. (Can you tell, I don't have acrylic nails?)
Long Story short, she learned how to do those
nails. She went to work with a local beautician with her own stand, making
her own money, doing what she loved doing.
And then you know what began to happen? She
also began to lose weight. BUT, She had lost weight before, doing all the
diet stuff and "don't do's".
Then she taught herself to work with the energy
instead of the foods and the willpower, and she followed her heart and she
lost weight and she kept it off.
Same with me: I lost the weight. I developed
my gifts. I followed my heart. I am happy beaming.......and oh, yes, I'm
Still that famous size 9 I scream about all over the Internet !
So, are you ready? Are you ready to give yourself
permission to be who you really are, and not some hidden mask of yourself
?
So, if you are .....what's the first step?
1. State your Intention of what you want.
Then:
A. Write, Write, Write
B. Talk Outloud to yourself about what you want.
That's how you start. And then what? You keep
doing that! And all else falls into place.
You have to, have to, have to, do the energy
work to change from what you have taught yourself to get to where you are
now, and to move from it in ease, and not so much discipline and willpower,
and cant have this and that......THAT'S ALL BACKWARDS ! It defeats you before
you get started !!
