Shell Shocked?

Five Tips to Shape That Shell Well.

1. GET ENERGIZED

Realize nothing is ever missing from your life as energy can never be created or destroyed. Energy goes where attention flows. So, if you want to manifest a slim, healthy body, spend your time (your energy) thinking, feeling and acting on achieving fitness. How do you do that? Think about it. Write about it. Feel it in your bones (literally). Then, don’t just sit there ... act upon it. Exercise. Create an eating plan. Above all else, see yourself successful in your mind’s eye. Hang photos that inspire you. Speak positively.

2. BE APPRECIATIVE

Be grateful and appreciate your current health (and for that matter, wealth…as they’re usually related). Say out loud, “Thanks. I am so happy I can walk, talk, and live life large!” Or, if you prefer, say a prayer thanking God and the universe for the health unfolding in your action plan.

3. BE SPECIFIC AND MEASURE SUCCESS

Set a clear and measurable intention of what you choose to create. Instead of, “I want to be healthy.” Do say, “I am so excited to be a size 6 by July 4th 2007.” When you write down what you want to move toward, ask yourself: “Is this measurable? Is this specific?” Then tell someone else in your life so you can begin to “feel” the excitement of what’s unfolding in your life. 

4. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL

Athletes often say this. In life, it means to keep your eye on where you want to go, not where you’re afraid you’re going to end up. This is key. Focus on the end results you’re manifesting no matter what happens. So what if you miss a few foul balls? It doesn’t mean you won’t catch the ball that wins you the game in the final inning. If you visualize yourself succeeding, your brain will create synapses that enable you to actually win in life. So close your eyes and see yourself win!

5. TAKE FUTURE-INSPIRED ACTION

The future-you is unfolding minute by minute. Did you know your cells become new every year? Literally, next year the cells you have in your body today will be renewed, refreshed and more importantly, rebuilt by your body. Don’t rebuild your body from yesterday’s memories. Look to the future and ask yourself, “What would rock-hard-body-me choose? How would I act?” Make choices and actions consistent with the person you’re becoming versus who you are today.
