Question/thought for the day 12/20/04

Pick one "negative tape" you replay over and over in your head and reframe it into a postive message.

My answer;

"I am already fat, one more day of overeating won't make any difference"

instead;

"I feel good when I eat well, I feel good when I exercise. No matter what the number is on the scale today, I can feel beautiful and healthy in this body TODAY if I eat right and move "

This is tough to only pick one.

"I keep working out but I still look the same"
Correction would be - "workout to fill better today"

"I'm hungry, I want a snack"
Correction would be- Drink some water. Are you really hungry or bored?

Looking at a skinny girl:

"Man, I wish I looked like that."

Changed to:

"You're getting there. Keep at it!" and "I bet her life isn't roses either."

Hello

I hope this does'nt sound off topic to weight issue, but it's the first thing I thing I thought of as something that plays forever in my head on a daily basis. It's a good analogy for how I feel about myself and continuing to gain weight over and over and look frumpy and grey and try to go unnoticed.

I'm an artist and I work from home. I spend a LOT of time working, and zero time on cleaning and making my home look nice. I sell Limited Edition Prints and originals, and not a SINGLE painting or print in my home! Nothing even in my work room is hanging, it's sold or waiting in a bin to be packaged and shipped.
I like my work LOL...it's pretty!

So my negative thought is-

"My 'home' is ugly, I keep all my art which is such a huge expression of myself hidden away... until it's sold to someone who confirms to me it's worth"

replace with - "I am coming out of my work room and hanging my art which is the deepest physical expression of "me" on my walls throughout my home. I am celebrating my life and who I am, and what I create"

Alisa... who you all may think a bit odd LOL

wow Alish your home sounds interesting to me...but put something on your walls to make yourself feel better put anything up your own work or someone elses...Funny this morning I was just looking at my Mucha calander and feeling bad because the year is over and I have no more pages to turn..Sooooooooooo go for it..although I know that is not the real issue....

SilkAsha · 12-21-2004, 08:11 AM

Alisa, I don't think it's off topic at all -- sounds like you're talking about the same self worth and issues that many stuggle with. And the issues of looking outside ourselves for reinforcement.

I was having that issue this morning when the scale did a bounce up even though I ate well yesterday. I have to think hard about it to focus on the positive internal reinforcement of how good I feel instead of the negative external reinforcement of the scale bumping around.

I know, I know, I ought to stop weighing myself at all.....

LOL, it's not barren really, I have other peoples art professionally framed by me and hung on my walls...but never my own art! I have been asked why when people visit. As a very visual person it just makes no sense why I would'nt DO something about it Sort of like my weight.

Silkasha...I highly recommend tossing the scale! I use my clothes to gauge...it's much more fun, and you get a workout trying things on
