Of course we will change...


"Let's get back to loving our bodies and accepting them totally as they are. Of course they will change - and if we give our bodies love, they will change for the better."  Louise L. Hay

Many grow up not knowing how to love themselves, some even spend a lifetime trying to figure it out.  Some try to live up to the view and expectations of others, of who they are, or who they should be. Why do parents, teachers and others of influence tell us how imperfect we are, how horrible we look and how we will never amount to anything?

We still have parents putting their little girls through the modeling world and which may be devastating to their self esteem as they grow into young women.  They are taught to abuse their bodies and minds.  They are taught that if you aren't skinny, you won't make it in the world.  Striving for the unattainable perfectionism of the perfect woman is a pinnacle we can never reach.

Why do we listen to them for so long?  If we could only learn from our past, our teachings, our mistakes and not project them onto our children, the world's children.  Some of us grow up thinking we have worked through the influences of our past only to find that the pattern is still there.  It's not until we really take a good long look at what we are doing and how what we do affects our lives in many ways that we need to make positive changes.  We may not even realize the patterns we create and use throughout our lives are harmful and not in alignment with what we really want to be or do with our life.

Women may not realize that one of the reasons they diet so much over and over trying to lose those same few pounds is because of the patterning and voices over the years telling them they are not worthy.  When you start to realize some of the habits and routines you go through for others, and they are no longer serving you, only then can you refocus and reinvent your own patterns that work positively for you and then you start to see the results you have been looking and trying to achieve for years.

Do you want to do it differently this time?  I can help you with taking action, changing habits and eliminating self defeating thoughts.  Contact me
