I have been writing the past couple days about “releasing” weight. Today my mind is swirling thinking how it all happens. At the 5:30 am Jazzercise class today one of the participants made a comment that me stop and realize that it was the baby steps that led to a noticeable result. “How much weight have you lost? You look great!”
Two months ago when I started, releasing 20.6 pounds seemed so far into the future. Then, all of a sudden, today it is here. How did it all happen? Baby steps.
Yesterday’s message from tut.com speaks such wisdom:
“The real reason that so many have trouble with the baby steps, Rosie—doing all they can, with what they’ve got from where they are, no matter how humble or seemingly futile—is because they haven’t yet grasped that the baby steps trigger unseen forces that throw wide the floodgates of unstoppable momentum, infinite abundance, and eternal life.
Just some tiny steps,
????The Universe”
Perhaps the place to start is with self love. Yesterday Dr. Gabhart and I traveled to a spot a couple hours away that reminds me of the Smoky Mountains. We decided we don’t have to always work on our book in an office, we can go to a beautiful place in Nature.
While there, in a little Christian bookstore, sitting there for me on the shelf was a beautiful little book titled Your Captivating Heart, Discover How God’s True Love Can Free a Woman’s Soul. I was immediately drawn to the cover. Listen to these words: “Femininity is depth and mystery and complexity, with beauty as the very essence. Every woman has a beauty to unveil. Every woman.”
You, me, every woman…just as you are, right now, this very minute.
The next step is to make sure that physically you are in balance, that a hormone imbalance will not hinder you once you decide to release the pounds that you no longer need. I am grateful to Dr. Gabhart for helping me in this regard (www.whitneygabhartnd.com).
Next comes a faith and a belief. In a little coffee shop yesterday there on the wall was a small beautiful stone wall hanging that now lives on my wall where I can see it every day: “Miracles happen when you BELIEVE.”
Next comes the courage and determination that I have been talking about this week…and a sensible, healthy eating plan. The one I am following is the one I wrote about in my blog article on July 10, “Only Open Door #1.”
You know, what comes to me is that every dream is like this, not just releasing those no-longer-needed pounds. It all starts with little baby steps. In time, bit by bit, those tiny little steps will create momentum and then, sure enough, your miracle presents itself.
What an exciting time to be aware, to be alive, to take the little baby steps, enjoying each step along the way…
