Getting healthy isn't just about eating the right foods and moving your body more. Yes those things are important. But if you're doing them from a place of "push" and "have to" or "should", you aren't going to get lasting results.

I recently starting working with a fantastic women who came to me because she wanted to get her weight under control and get healthy. She has two adorable little girls and a fantastic, supportive hubbie. She had very strong reasons to get healthy. She had her "whys" strongly in place. And she was READY!!!

As we talked, she shared her past experiences with her attempts at weight loss. It became obvious her eating habits were a symptom of some deeper core issues.

Until she was able to see these issues and release them out of her energy system, limiting her food wasn't going to be the answer. In fact, it was going to shove these issues directly in her path, making it very difficult to be successful.

Did I mention she was ready??? Ready to do the healing necessary to get healthy. Notice the word "heal" is in the word "heal-thy". Healing means recognizing and then releasing those illusions we have in our minds about who we are and what we deserve.

We all have our "stories" and our wounds. Things that happened to us when we were too young to see what was being told to us about who we are was not true. So we take it in and believe it. We then live our lives according to those non-truths about ourselves.

Here's an example: Let's say your siblings were all thin and you had a tendency to hold on to your pre-adolescent fat a little longer than them. In an attempt to "help" you lose weight and look the way they wanted you to look, your family constantly told you you were fat and needed to watch what you were eating. Even though you weren't fat, you began to believe this non-truth.

You had a strong believe you were a fat person. So you continued to live your life like a fat person. Now you are an adult. And you can't figure out why you can't stay on a diet long enough to lose the weight you so desparately want to lose.

Can you see why it's so important to recognize the core issue and do the healing work to release the non-truth from your energy system? It's impossible to be thin when you believe you are fat. It requires too much "push" to make it happen long-term.

Here's the very cool part about all this. Once you recongize what illusions are keeping you from your desire, you can release it. And losing the weight becomes almost automatic.

If you are having difficulty seeing your core illusions and would like coaching around it, let's chat. I love helping people discover the truth about who they are and then expressing that vision in the world.
