I am thin, happy & debt-free

Wow, just repeating that to myself, walking around, believing it even if for just brief moments, I feel great. Really great. I realize how constricted I feel most of the time when in the back of my mind I am burdened subconsciously with weightier thoughts. A curtain lifts from my eyes when I repeat: I am thin, happy and debt-free.

 

On my other blog, I just wrote about the power of our thoughts, how our thoughts become our destiny. I keep another blog for those non-fitness, non-weight aspects of my life although, granted, it’s not so easy to separate my life from my weight issues sometimes.

 

I shared with Valria my thoughts on the power of repeating short, powerful, positive declarations worded in the present tense, as if they already exist. That our thoughts control our destiny. She knew already, of course. This isn’t new to most of us. But sometimes we have to remember. Relearn. Retrain. 

 

Valria told me how she used to start each day telling herself that she was fit, strong and healthy. In the process, she lost 90 lbs.

 

So this morning, I started repeating to myself: I am thin, happy and debt-free. I let myself pretend it was true as I repeated it. I felt my shoulders relax. I felt lighter. I felt happier. I relaized wow, how great it feels to be thin, happy and debt-free. It’s magic.

 

A few years ago, after a very long break from dating, I decided to start dating again. Tired of all the failed relationships I had wasted time and energy on, I spent a lot of time with myself identifying exactly what I was looking for. Every morning, I would repeat:

 

Universe, I want a solid loving relationship built on passion, trust, and leading to a happy life-long marriage. Universe, bring this man to me eager and in love with me. This is what I want. It is MY TURN to be happy and loved and with a successful, kind, grounded man of integrity who holds himself to high standards and who will spoil me emotionally. I want this man to look at me with love and gratitude. The way I see him. This is what I want. A man who sees my strengths. Understands his good fortune, is grateful, thankful, happy, aware. I want to be cherished and shine. I want to KNOW I deserve this, accept it, love it, feel comfortable with it, enhance it, nourish it, grow it. Grow in my love. Love my life and live the life I love. Universe, bring me my dream. Make it happen. Thank you Universe!

 

I spent about one year dating quite a few men while repeating this mantra every morning. At 42, I met Dave, a man who fits my description and has pursued with me the relationship I described. We’re getting married in September.

 

I’m a believer.

 

Our lives reflect our thoughts. We must be vigilant with what we think. Our body, our mind, and the universe respond to what we think by making it into our reality.

 

Every day is an opportunity for happiness. Every day is an opportunity for change. Life continually unfolds in the direction of our thoughts. New thoughts, new direction.

So, I just wanted to share: I am thin, happy and debt-free.
