How To Preserve Dignity & Build Trust With Yourself For Winning Weight Loss Results
The consequences of preserving dignity and building trust with ourselves are a strengthened life spirit, an inner sense of freedom, self respect and successful coping. We think these things come from losing weight, but in reality they come from the way we relate to ourselves. Once we start relating to ourselves in a way that preserves dignity and builds trust within us, the weight comes off naturally. It becomes effortless to reach and maintain a weight we love.
So how do we start relating to ourselves in a way that “preserves dignity and builds trust”? Here is the magic formula:
It starts with knowing our own motives and character.
Next, we take total responsibility for our behavior. We come to the realization that our behavior creates our results. Period.
We add the skill of self reflection. We meditate on our behavior and see if it’s in line with our motives and character. If not, we seek to understand what our motivation was and what character trait surfaced.
Finally, we guide ourselves in a non-humiliating way. We don’t belittle ourselves. We simply observe our actions and course correct when necessary.
When we start practicing these behaviors, we notice we start to respect ourselves, start listening to ourselves, start caring for ourselves, and have control over ourselves. When we have this kind of relationship with ourselves, we become UNSTOPPABLE in creating anything we put our minds to, including weight loss!
