We are now into the summer months. Schools have let out, children are home, and life is getting a little more busy for mothers. This is a time of the year when mothers will need to be creative in order to find opportunities to include exercise into their daily lives.

Everyone needs to find ways to schedule their exercise at cooler times of the day, if they exercise outdoors. They also have to take into account that there could be frequent afternoon showers or the temperatures can be in the high 80s and 90s.

If either is a problem for you, figure out how much exercise you need to feel good and/or to lose weight. Ask others how they handle this situation. Do a search online to find other's exercise strategies for either exercising in warm climates and/or fitting exercise when having children underfoot all day.

It may take a little more planning, but it can be done! If you don't have anyone you can ask, you can join a mailing list or message board online with other people who are in the same situation. I invite you to join our Exercise Your Willpower mailing list. Please see the bottom of this newsletter to click on the link to get to the Exercise Your Willpower website, and find out more about the mailing list.

Weight Loss: Develop Your Patience
by Wendy Hearn

What does it feel like when your weight isn't reducing as quickly as you would like? I imagine it feels frustrating. I bet you even experience a sense of failure on your part.

Most of us want to lose weight quickly, perhaps by tomorrow, even though we know that realistically this won't happen. Because we want the weight loss to happen much more quickly than it's going to, we put undue pressure on ourselves.

We want to achieve more in a shorter space of time. This is because your expectations are too high and generally not achievable. When these expectations aren't reached, you feel disappointed.

I've found that the inability to handle this disappointment is one of the things which throws people off track. They lose sight of the goal they're looking to achieve. Setting these high expectations and then not reaching them, is like setting yourself up for failure.

Setting your target at a lower, yet achievable level allows for a successful weight loss. Part of setting lower expectations is for you to develop your patience. You'll then appreciate weight loss won't happen overnight and you need to embark on a longer process.

We all want to see speedy results and there are so many
companies promoting quick fixes for weight loss that it's all too easy to feel that it can happen quickly. Healthy weight loss will take some time. The habits which caused you to gain weight, which you've built up over the years, will take some time to change. To ensure these changes happen permanently requires patience on your part.

Generally we as human beings don't make changes easily or quickly. By developing your patience you can take some of the pressure off and this allows you to see that changes do happen over time. Steady, slower progress tends to achieve results in the long term.

I encourage you to determine for yourself what having patience means for you. It may be that you set yourself a goal to handle just one habit at a time. Perhaps it's discarding one habit which causes weight gain and replacing it with a healthier habit which promotes weight loss.

It may be useful to consider which aspect of losing weight causes you most pressure and then see what having patience with this will mean. What reminders can you create for yourself to be patient? Perhaps it's a sticker on your kitchen wall or your bathroom mirror.

Have the patience to take your weight loss one day at a time. We live in an age where we expect most things to happen much more quickly than they did before.

Although many things do happen instantly, for instance, communications, the same cannot be said for weight loss. Weight loss is achievable when you are patient and work at a more natural pace. The cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter still take a complete year! Weight loss is similar.

I suggest one of the first steps is to accept that weight loss will take some time. Then, I encourage you to set some realistic goals and time scales for yourself. Most things in life which are worth having take time. Feeling healthy and fit is worth the commitment but you must be patient along the way.

What I want for you is to be patient and take steady, measured steps towards your weight loss.

Understanding how we have tried to lose weight in the past, and now applying something a bit different, because all of those ways apparently did not work, at least not for long, is what we are now teaching ourselves in applying an under- standing of energy, frequency and vibration. And No, those are not new terms for carbs, fats and protein!

From an energy level, a vibration level....(vibration as in language to the Universe, as in our radio frequency to bring us our desires), we have been taught sacrifice and hunger are simply how it is in losing weight. NOPE!

Sacrifice and hunger are both LACK feelings and emotions. Emotions of lack contain history of lack things we may have experienced previously in our lives. We always create from the present, so if we are going backwards in lack emotions, then we are mis-creating our body image. ie: not getting what we want.

There is no reason to be hungry or to sacrifice anything as we bring our desired body image to us. What we will be doing is vibrating a radio frequency of someone that has, for instance a size 9 body image. What that means is, someone with a radio station on Size 9 only attracts those events, and circum- stances into their lives that help to bring them size 9. We will AUTOMATICALLY , not eat , nor desire to eat foods that contradicts that in our own mind.

Then One Day, we reach the point, where it does not matter in our own mind what we eat.....all roads lead to size 9 !

Personal example: One weekend recently, I was creating lots of writing stuff, outlines, & proposals. I choose to do this in a fun manner. I ate potato chips and dip and junk all weekend long !

These were easy and portable foods, no care about fixing stuff, it's what was going to give me fuel for the weekend in a fun way, which did not distract from what I was intending to get done. It has nothing to do with protein, fat, or gaining weight, or will I or won't I gain weight from eating, this way, it's about fun for me, and that is it !

Also, as I have taken myself through this process, I have an "automatic" 2-day shut off valve. I absolutely know, that I will only eat this way for 2 days, and then I go back to regular foods that I enjoy, that I enjoy, that I enjoy, ENJOY !!

So, if you are having thoughts in your imagination of foods you can't have, if you are thinking you are hungry and craving, and you try and fight that off, your mind goes to lack stuff. It will NOT bring you your desired body image.

If you do, through sure willpower have it work for you in this way, it wears off. You simply have applied negative energy long enough to bring you something.

But please know.......positive, soft, gentle energy is so much more powerful and is natural to us as a Spirit person clothed in flesh. So eventually , we will face this tug of war with ourselves again.

Bottom Line: Tune in your heart and mind to the frequency that you want? OK? OK!
