Day 40 - In the Success of 2010

Hello Team on the 22nd of March 2010!

I have something to say!!! Something that has become a reoccurring theme when I have been talking to women around weight loss and ‘Think Yourself Thin’!!! So I thought I would share it with you for it might be relevant to you!

I have noticed when I am presenting my seminars on 'Think Yourself Thin' that women who attend often ask me the same question. They ask me, 'how do you keep thinking 'Perfect' when everyone around you is telling you, you are not?'

(For those who might be joining us on the blog for the first time may want to visit the blog from yesterday (day 39) for it explains clearly what we mean by 'Perfect'!!! But in a nut-shell 'Perfect' in the one-stop-shop mindset around weight, food and life that guarantees you look and feel great for life!!! Day 39 - In the Success of 2010 will pad out this explanation for you!!! We'll see you when you return from this page!!)

Ok for those who know what we mean by 'Perfect' and for those returned from blog number 39 - In The Success of 2010 let's return to the story!!!

A lot of women told me they are constantly critised, put-down and faced with negativity and opposition all day. They were shocked when I told them I wasn't. That I didn't have anyone in my life that puts me down. That those I hold dear to me are those that treat me like a precious jewel. For those that don't feel or treat me as such, I don't attract them, I don't interact with them and I literally don't know who they are. The women were shocked and couldn't believe this!!! I was shocked that they had so much negativity and they were shocked that I didn't!!!

So let's look at this. I am someone who doesn't struggle with my weight. I eat when I feel hungry. I stop when I feel full. I eat highly nutritious food 3 times a day with a 'fuel-up' on the weekend when I eat a bit more. I choose to eat really well. For it is an investment into me and makes me feel like $10 million!!! Because I feel this way I blossom, thrive and do increasingly well in life. I am at peace and my eating, weight and life reflect this. I only have love in my life and I don't mean romantic love here from just one person. I mean respect, honour and value of who I am at the very core of me! Allowing me to be regardless of if I am up or down. I surround and am surrounded by people that truly nurture me. Like Shane, Andrew, my sisters, Deb Pilgrim (my most perfect Business Mentor), Suzy Jacobs of The Athena Network, Gail Pisani my Personal Life Mentor, my best friends Liz, Jeanette, Iman, Victoria and of course my Helen and the list goes on!!! I don't know who doesn't like me because I don't associate with people who don't like me, and vice versa!!! My mindset is 'Perfect'! I don't look for problems. I look to live the best life ever.

Ok that's my life and the reality which springs from my mindset.

If you are continually being 'beaten up' emotionally and psychologically for not being 'good enough' it is because somewhere inside you believe you are 'not good enough' so the mindsets are matching and are being drawn together. I'm not blaming you and nor am I condoning abusive behaviour. I am providing an opportunity for growth past a stuck point of hurt and pain!!! Life does not grow and blossom, success does not breed in the face of negativity. I thrive because my mindset allows it. Negativity only breeds lack of momentum, a lack of love, a lack of control and ability to eat well and look fantastic, a lack of money, lack of health, lack of meaningful connections, lack of opportunities and again the list of lack goes on. What is lacking for you??? Is there a part of your life where you feel limited and less-than??? A part of your life that seems stuck and hard??? Then this is where your mindset is caught limiting you!!! Let’s move now into what this ‘stuckness’ might be!!!

If you believe you are 'not good enough' and in the words of Louise L Hay every single earth plain issue comes down to the core belief of 'not good enough'. Which The Team and I agree with. It does. Then if you believe this belief of 'not good enough' then you will attract it in the behaviour of yourself to yourself and from those around you.

'Not good enough' creates behaviour in eating that causes you to overeat or eat in a poor quality way that causes you to prove that you are 'not good enough' weight-wise and you put on weight. Simple as that. Abuse from others compounds the issue.
It causes all the lack whether it be with weight loss, or health or money or love or happiness!!!

How do we fix this though?! For we can fix it!!!

First commitment: to never ever ever put yourself or another person down from this point on. When you critise yourself you are critising everyone. When you critise others you are cristising you. Simple as that. Call another person or another woman a name and you are insulting yourself. Bitch, moan and complain about someone and you are pulling yourself over the wringer emotionally CAUSING YOURSELF PROBLEMS!!!! SO I ENCOURGE YOU TO NOT DO THIS AND THINK ‘PERFECT’ (FOR ALL THE REASONS AS BLOGGED ON DAY 39 IN THE SUCCESS OF 2010)

Now it doesn't mean you don't speak up when behaviour is inappropriate. But focussing on how a behaviour made you feel and what behaviour you would prefer to see in its place is a far better strategy then getting into a name-calling slugging match. Plus an assertive approach allows for you to grow in the situation and doesn't cause you pain. Therefore is less likely to drive you to eat for the wrong reasons!

If you are being critised and you don't know how to deal with it. Take these immediate steps:

*Don't bite back. In your mind say 'thank you for sharing'. You are acknowledging their opinion but you aren't taking it on as the truth. Just because they say it doesn't make it truth!!! Remember that!!!
*In your mind say 'I'm Perfect'. Now that's true. For your universal self is 'Perfect' and is who your fundamentally are. So perfect.
*Ignore them. Or pretend to ignore. Their behaviour will change when they realise you don't fight back.

If you are in a seriously abusive relationship please contact the Domestic Violence Line (NSW) 1800 656 463. If you live in another state in Australia or another country I am sure they have the equivalent. They will provide you with immediate shelter and physical support.

You have the power to be well and live in an honouring world.

Change your thinking to 'Perfect' so you attract what in essence is 'Perfect' for you. 'Perfect' for me is being treated as a precious jewel. If a situation arises that doesn't it's gone before it even arrives!!!!

So let me know how you fair with this!!!

You will notice a few changes with my work over the next few weeks!!!

The MMMP will become 'Think Yourself… Successful ' Packages of 22 sessions. There will be 'Think Yourself Thin', 'Think Yourself Rich', 'Think Yourself in Love' and 'Think Yourself Happy' to name but a few. Each package is focussed on each life area. So you choose which angle in life you want to target and we will work with this!!!!

The pricing structure is now a three-tiered policy based on income earnt!!! If you are below the $250,000 p.a. then nothing will change for you!!!

One-off sessions and 'Sets of 3' are also available. One-off sessions are really just an assessment session to determine if we need a 'Set of 3' or a 'Think Yourself… Successful' Mentoring Package!!! More information is available on my website http://www.joanneprior.com ‘programs’ link!!!

So look out for this!!!!

So doors are opening now for your success!!!
