Do you spend countless hours fantasizing about “pleasuring” your body with food only to have the fantasies culminate in a binge you later regret and suffer over?
What if you could control the destiny of your body in a way other than relentlessly scolding, depriving, or denying yourself?
What if the way to alter your body and your life’s destiny was to change your Inner Stations and the channels in your mind?
Think of your body and mind as a broadcasting receptacle that can receive any station...
Instead of identifying with the multitude of stations that you are picking up on, begin to observe them. Listen with a fresh ear and you will begin to see yourself with new eyes.
Most likely your inner stations are not broadcasting news, country, rock, or classical music.
Since you are part of the human family your stations are likely to include broadcasts of criticism, suffering, complaining, fear, judgment, regret, or resentment.
Often when you are barraged by a particular station it may feel as if you are a victim of its belief system...
Here is what some of your inner stations may sound like:
your Inner Stations of criticism:
your Inner Stations of trying and hoping:
your Inner Stations of judgment:
your Inner Stations of suffering and victimhood:
your Inner Stations of regret:
your Inner Stations of resentment:
your Inner Stations of fear:
Sometimes the pain of listening to these inner dialogues may become so great you’ll do anything to shut the inner voice off...
That may be when you make a beeline for the refrigerator or the fast food drive-through.
The moment when your inner voice becomes unbearable may be exactly when the thought of sinking your teeth into a sugary, fattening “treat” may seem like the best option you can think of.
Why?
Because in that moment, you have an awareness that for even a brief period of time—it could even be seconds—your mind will shut off as you experience the pure sensual “pleasure” of sugar, salt, and fat melting in your mouth. You have a memory of that being true.
Unfortunately, what you block out in that moment in time when you shut off the voice that was incessantly chewing off your ear and focus on the new full-color mental movie of eating whatever your weakness may be—chips, pizza, donuts, french fries, bread, cookies—is the way you are going to feel moments after you complete your binge.
What is predictable is that no sooner than the sugar, salt, and fat combo begins to wreak havoc on your digestive system, your inner broadcaster will immediately land on the station of guilt and shame.
And it goes like this:
“Eeeks!
What have I done?!”
“I can’t believe what I just ate! After I was so “good” all week! I am pathetic!”
See the cycle?
Great!
the first step in your ultimate success
Because awareness is the absolute first step in ultimate success. We can’t hurt ourselves consciously.
It is only what is stored, unexamined, in the subconscious that can cause us to fall into the same potholes over and over again.
Now, let’s take a look at the solution because it’s right at your fingertips.
The fantastic news is that not only aren’t you your body, but you aren’t your thoughts either.
If you were your thoughts how could you be aware of them?
Since you can observe your thoughts, you aren’t them. You are the Thinker of the thoughts.
The reason why this hasn’t always seemed apparent in the past is because you are conditioned to identify with your thoughts, not with yourself as the Thinker.
Identifying with your thoughts is not only the cause of suffering but also the cause of making bad decisions.
When you realize that you are the Thinker, not the thoughts, it also becomes evident that there are an infinite number of channels that you can choose to turn your inner dial to.
It may be helpful to actually imagine a radio dial, like the one in your car, and imagine that you are physically changing stations.
Here are some stations that you may want to try out:
Station of unconditional love and forgiveness, which sounds like this:
your Inner Stations of creativity:
your Inner Stations of wisdom:
your Inner Stations of gratitude:
your Inner Stations of power:
your ability to choose...
When you find yourself stuck on a channel that will not likely take you down a road of lasting happiness and fulfillment, it’s important to realize that the only true power you have is the ability to choose.
Would you scream and yell at the radio because it’s playing country music when you prefer to hear classical?
Though that image may seem absurd to you, it’s no more fruitless than scolding yourself for thinking “bad” thoughts.
Simply,
Reach into your inner mind and change the dial. Move your focus to a more uplifting station—one that raises your consciousness and brings out a much more resourceful and wise part of yourself.
How can you tell when you have slipped onto a dark station?
It’s simple—you will feel it.
Though you are not your body, your physical self offers a great feedback system—one of feeling. If you feel constricted, it’s time to change the dial.
When you feel expanded, turn it up!
You choose your thoughts and your thoughts create your feelings. Your feelings, in turn, propel you towards certain behaviors.
When you take the right action you feel good and your thoughts tend to affirm that.
When you take actions that are contrary to your desired life goals, your sense of constriction and emotional pain increases. What a wonderful feedback loop your body/mind is.
The only way to break a negative cycle is to change the input. Hypnosis and self-hypnosis are wonderful tools to help you update your thinking to match your life goals.
Absolutely!
You, too, can change your thought station to set yourself up to achieve every blessing that your heart desires!
