Slim And Happy

What do we mean by slim? What do we mean by happy? We say these diet words and terms and use them as if they are the same thing. But do we really understand what the concept of happy is? Or what slim actually means and feels like ? What does slim have to do with happy and why does being happy depend so much on being slim first ? Do we actually answer these questions before we go in search of the goals ? Or do we just have a traditional understanding that if you are slim you are by definition happier than any person out there with some weight to trim off ?

If you believe in a positive mindset, like I do, then you will realise that positive results attract more positive results and the more you believe in yourself and what you can do then suddenly you will start delivering more success and the more your realise you can achieve things then the more you will push yourself and go in search of the results you desire. The results we all get are dependant on many factors of which although a mindset is fundmentally simple our behaviours in life can be very complex and are based on top of our core beliefs and these can be very deeply buried and show themselves in very strange ways.

I was talking to somebody today who couldn't make eye contact with me at all, eventually I asked them why and they said that they didn't like anyone looking into their eyes in case they saw through them. It was a fascinating chat as this person was incredibly good at singing and a very talented musician and I would like to have half the creativity they had but their core beliefs about themselves and self confidence really did need a boost. Self confidence and low self esteem are of course linked but they are both based on the beliefs we have about ourselves and as beliefs are just a perception (I believe I cannot play the guitar and guess what!) then you can change those beliefs in the blink of an eye.

Some 5 years ago now I changed my belief that I couldn't be slim and went and got the prize I wanted. Since then I believe that I am a slim person who doesn't need to diet or worry about food and therefore I stay slim and don't struggle with my weight. I speak to people all the time who have a belief about themselves that they will always have to diet and eat food supplements to stay slim and therefore that is exactly what they do. Therefore my advice for today is to really explore what you believe about yourself and if you don't like it then change the belief, you can be whoever you want to be, you can be slim, happy and play the guitar if you really want to.
