I was telling my husband the other day that the elements of my World must be conspiring for me to lose weight. I kept talking about signs that this must be the right time for me to start on my own personal health journey. I'll give you examples: Each time I turned on the TV last week, it would be showing inspirational stories of people who had lost a lot of weight. Another time it would have those dressing for your type shows. And at other times it would be a movie about having hopes and achieving your dreams and never ever giving up.
Other more personal examples would be my friend's daughter who happened to tell me I was a fat mommy on Christmas day. Or could the biggest sign of all have been my annual check-up where my GP announced that I was hovering on the borders of obesity? Or was it that I had recently become obsessed with the need to have a blog all about health issues? I had exhausted those around me about constantly talking about my weight but never really doing anything about it. I was always too busy or too lazy really. So had the Universe finally conspired to make me take a deeper look at the real me before it was too late?
Yes, Maybe, No. Bottom line: Who knows and frankly the question should be: Does it really matter? If you choose to believe that there are signs to pick up and you have then good on you. If you choose to believe that God has finally given you his undivided strength to stick with the program, even better, and if, like myself, you believe in state of the mind theories then fantastic. End of the day it doesn't matter where or how you were inspired. You just were. Accept it and move ahead. Stick with it and do it. Now that your frame of mind is in the zone stay there.
Now that I'm finally in the zone, there is no way I'm getting out. I am going to take full advantage and seek ways to keep me in the zone for a long long time. I have found that when I reach this point of no return I start to pick up motivating vibes I never even noticed before. Had my son's school been really this close to home before? If so, then how come I've driven him there all this time? Did I really buy that fantastic pair of trainers and track suit? Being a born show off, why have I never felt inclined to parade myself in them? The best one of all: Since I am a certified dietitian, how come I've never felt the need to apply my knowledge on myself? Why did everyone and everything else come first?
Again, power is knowledge. Being in the zone is powerful in itself. Open your eyes, take a deep breath and look around you. You don't need bolting jolts of lightning to wake you up, the signs and tools are right there under your nose. Open your eyes wider, have you? Do you see them now? Great, now your journey begins. I just hope you're ready for it. I know I am.
