I want to train myself to be aware of the negative thoughts that come into my head and then let them go. Examples of negative thoughts: “I’m too fat,” “I’m not good enough,” “Good things never happen to me,” “Life sucks.” This is programming from others that I have adopted as my own thoughts.
The spotlight on this came to me when I was watching Letsgetraw youtube channel. She wants to be a raw foodist so bad, but cannot turn the corner. I think she should try to be vegan first then hit the raw side of life because raw is hardcore vegetarianism. She makes informative videos about beginning a raw diet, foods that one can choose, the health benefits of a raw diet, and how a raw diet aids in significant weight loss for those who have excess weight. And yet, she misses the key component of the raw diet—the spirit. If the spirit is not ready, there is nothing the body can do to get the spirit to move. Change moves in waves; sometimes it flows quickly as if one has been hit by lightening. Other times change’s movement is barely felt, and yet change is happening. It is the only constant.
With that being said, I think both Letsgetraw and myself need to just relax and let it happen. Letsgetraw inspirational speeches have a slight negative bent. She calls herself a failure for not losing weight. She gets angry at herself for needing cooked food. I do the same thing, get angry at myself for need. I saw (and still see) myself in her. We are both wrapped up in perfectionism. There is no perfection, life is messy; learning is messy, and it is okay.
A thought came to me about cleansing the body, so the spirit can focus. I feel like I am clearing toxins out of my body, so I can move in a higher vibration. It’s just a thought.
Okay, People, I am out of here. I wish you peace, eye candy everywhere you go, and love.
