I still battle with body image. Some days I am perfectly ok, and other days I struggle. I tell myself, I need to lose another 2 kilos, or 5 kilos, or 10 kilos, in order to be happy and be at peace with myself. This is regardless of how many spiritual books that I read, or how much meditation I engage in.
When I realised today… that I can surrender my issues with body weight and appearance to the universe, just like I do with other areas of my life. My priority is to feel joyful and free from moment to moment, and this negative cycle gets in the way of that and wastes precious energy.
In order to heal, we mustn’t struggle. We must let go and trust in a higher power. I have made a goal this year to lose twenty kilos, and I am over halfway there. But it doesn’t make sense to berate myself until I get to my goal… or say to myself, everything will be right and well, only when I reach this goal. I must make loving myself a priority, every moment of every day, and not struggle by needing certain conditions to be happy. I can still make good choices, and work towards losing the weight that I want to lose. But resisting the present moment is just going to make things so much harder for me.
I trust now, that after surrendering this issue to the universe, that I will be guided in the right direction, and I will move forward towards happiness and my highest good. There is an element of patience involved in this.
I made a decision today…that I will not allow this issue to get in the way of my peace, joy and self-love. I will not sacrifice my happiness just for a sense of control and obsession in regard to my weight and appearance. Control and obsession doesn’t prove or help anything. The way forward is to step back and let the universe heal the situation…. And whilst trusting in that, I can get on with my day to day life with a sense of joy and peace, and of course, self-love.
And as I live day to day, moment to moment, enjoying the journey, I will as a direct result, heal other parts of my life, by attracting what I most desire and reveling in the magic of the powers of the universe.
