Change Your Mind, Change Your Life

Change your thoughts and you change your world. -Norman Vincent Peale

I believe in the Law of Attraction and the power of Manifestation. My body is a result of this powerful truth. When I became sick two years ago, I created a Manifestation Board; a collage of images of fit and healthy women doing things I was told I would no longer be able to do. Women running in the sun, or smiling in the snow. Women with strength and flexibility. I found these images in magazines and clothing catalogs and I cut and pasted them onto a large poster board. I looked at this every day, multiple times a day, because I wanted to convince every cell in my body that what I was looking at was real for me. I wanted my brain to make a connection with these images and direct my body to that reality. 

And it worked. 

Every decision I made with my diet and lifestyle was easy and practically effortless. I lost weight without trying and my autoimmune disease began to leave my body so quickly that my doctors still don't have an explanation for it. I became more flexible as the tightening loosened in my skin and connective tissues. My pulmonary function tests have been excellent and my digestion improved. I went back to teaching dance. I began working out and was surprised at the work my new body could do. I set new fitness goals and became an amateur CrossFit athlete. And every new thing I have introduced has made me healthier and happier without struggle or restriction.

I am building a new body. And not just with weights and exercise. But with my mind.

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves. -Buddha

So, what shall I change about my world now?

This holiday season has revealed a few things I would like to turn my attention to. I did not enjoy having so little to give this year. And the little I could do felt under planned and haphazard. No one else would have noticed. If I wasn't writing it here, no one would call me on it. But it is the things that we see when we look closely at the reflection of our hearts that we have to contend with. I appreciate the grace that I receive from others, but I see the things I would like to change for 2014. And so I will make a new Manifestation Board. Here is a snapshot, but I am sure I will add to it.
