“I’m so scattered!”
“I’m so stressed!”
“I’m so unorganized!”

It seems like just a random thought spoken out loud.

It doesn’t really matter does it? Or does it?

In Wayne Dyer’s movie Ambition to Healing he quotes, “You don’t attract what you want, you attract what you are.”

Each time you think a thought, speak a word or take an action, it matters. Even those little petty phrases that seem like nothing.

Although, you may think those phrases are true, “I’m so scattered!” “My thighs are so big!” “I’ll never lose this weight!” By agreeing with them, you actually continue to create them. Like attracts like, so the more you think and speak those words, the more you get those results.

It may seem like the simple solution is to not think negative thoughts any more.

If only it were that easy!

Rather than trying to resist the negative thoughts, which creates even MORE resistance in your body, instead, acknowledge that you feel that way.

But, remember those feelings are not you and do not define you.

You may not be happy with your current body image or some other part of your life.

However, the past does not equal the future and you DO have the power to change your results by your willingness to shift your thoughts, beliefs and actions.

If you are thinking to yourself, “yeah, right!” then you are not alone.

When interviewing shaman, Linda White during my “Creating a Balance Between Healthy Eating and Enjoying Life” class, she stated the number one thing people experience when trying to make change is powerlessness. In other words, you feel at a conscious or subconscious level that you don’t have the power to change your results.

But, remember your body is just energy. And by disciplining your thoughts, beliefs and actions, you can change.

Often it helps to have an experienced coach as you go through this process to help you believe when you start to doubt or go back into your old habits.

If you’ve ever wondered what you have been thinking, acting and believing, just look at the results in your life. These results came from all of the thoughts, beliefs and actions you took up until this point.

Sometimes people get frustrated when making changes because they don’t acknowledge that their results are the cumulative effect of past and present. So, you may be taking all of the right actions now, but not seeing change.

That’s because you still have the past still carrying with you. But, don’t give up. The more you take correct action, the more your results will shift.

So, I encourage you the next time you have a negative thoughts about yourself or voice something negative about yourself out loud that you remember that your thoughts and words have power. And by taking charge of your life and seeing the possible, your results will change long-term.

You may not know how, but your next step is always revealed when you align and agree with your vision and take each step as it comes forth.

Ask yourself this question: can you really be your perfect weight?

Do you really feel like it’s possible for you? Or do you feel like it could be possible without the struggle of having to obsess about exercise and diet?

If you’re in the 7% of the U.S. population that exercises regularly and is able to maintains a healthy weight without any problem and no mental anguish, great. You can stop reading now.

But, if you are like most people, you aren’t at your ideal weight. Or even if you are, it’s a constant struggle to stay there.

So, if you know being your perfect weight will make you pain free, energetic, confident, fit comfortably into clothes, why aren’t you there now? Why isn’t it as easy as setting a goal and reaching it?

Is it really even possible to become your perfect weight and stay there? Or will you be stuck in this pattern for life?

To understand this, you must first realize what happens after we set a goal.

We have two parts of our mind, our conscious mind and our subconscious mind. When we set a goal to be 145 pounds that idea gets impressed into our conscious mind. We are conscious of our goal.

So, why then do we grab extra cookies in the evenings or why do we succumb to the extra treats at work or why do we skip our exercise class, even though we know we SHOULD eat healthy and exercise?

Because in addition to our conscious mind, we also have our even more powerful subconscious mind. This is where our old patterns and beliefs are stored.

If you’re struggling with your weight, there is some pattern or belief in your subconscious mind that is keeping you stuck.

Think of your mind like an iceberg. If you look at an iceberg on top of the water, it is enormous. But, what’s even more amazing is that 2/3 of that iceberg is actually underneath the water. So, even though the top part of the iceberg stands out and seems huge, the bottom is twice as big as the top.

So, even though you feel like setting a goal in the conscious mind should make the change, only when you make a change to your more powerful subconscious mind (or past beliefs) can you really make any headway.

Here’s a few examples of those past beliefs that may be keeping you stuck.

Let’s say you have wanted to reach your goal weight, but dreaded the thought of giving up chocolate. You think that if you have to give up chocolate to get there, it just isn’t worth it.

But, think about it, do you know anyone who eats chocolate and is at a healthy weight? So, where did you get that belief that eating chocolate equals gaining weight?

The same belief can be said about bread. For awhile it was a real scare that if you ate bread, you would gain weight. But, anyone who’s been to France knows that’s simply not true.

Your thoughts are incredibly powerful. If every day you thought about how eating chocolate or bread will cause you to gain weight, you get to be right, they will. Your mind attracts whatever it is you think about most.

Anxiety over weight comes from fear. Fear is (False Evidence Appearing Real). Or that if you do “x,” “y” consequence will come about. Most of the time these x’s and y’s aren’t true.

Here’s a few more examples:

If you don’t exercise for 60 minutes a day, you can’t reach your ideal weight. So, then what happens when you get busy or life gets in the way? You surrender to the fact that you just can’t do it.

But, do you know someone who is their ideal weight that doesn’t work out 60 minutes a day?

Not that we want to compare ourselves to other people, but it’s important realize that a lot of the beliefs we have about ourselves come from past patterns and are in fact, not true.

Feeling stuck or frustrated with your progress can also cause you to look outside yourself for what you need:

“If I just had a chef, then I could eat healthy!”
“If I could just work part time, then I’d have time to work out!”
“If I had more money, then I could afford a trainer and get in shape!”

But, you probably know people that have all of these things and are healthy and people that have all of the above things and are overweight or have a lot of anxiety concerning their weight.

Just having “the thing” or having something outside of you, won’t cause a change. The change happens with a shift is made inside YOU!

Sometimes we halt our progress because we worry that we might not reach our goal. So, because we fear failure, we either don’t set the goal or give up before we might get disappointed.

As a perfectionist growing up, sometimes I would be afraid to try something for fear I wouldn’t do it “perfect!”

But, now I’ve begun to realize that my thinking actually keeps me stuck.

Another reason we might give up on being our goal weight is because of all of the “work” it might take to get there. This thought pattern that it will be “work” to get there comes from the same erroneous thinking that tells us if we eat chocolate, we’ll gain weight.

So, how do you get rid of past beliefs and patterns, so you can reach your goals?

The best way is to identify what they are and then go through a process of releasing them.

This can be done through reading books, meditation, hypnosis or meeting one-on-one with a trained professional.

You can also use a structured program of release such as the 30-Day Transformation Program.

Choose whatever method works for you knowing the real long term change happens when you uncover the patterns that have halted your weight loss or the erroneous thinking that keeps you obsessing about your body.

Jeanie

Do you need support in creating happiness and more balance in your life, whether it relates to physical health, nutrition, mindset, relationships, finding “purpose”, or all of the above.

Starting Monday, July 13th, I will be coaching 10 people who want to create specific goals and take action on them over the next 30 days. This can be any current challenges, obstacles, or issues that are currently blocking complete balance and harmony in your life.

Let me ask you a few questions:

• Do you feel stuck right now and feel like you haven’t made any progress in a while?
• Are you frustrated with your current results?
• Are you ready to get back into a solid routine of taking care of yourself?
• Would you like to propel yourself to new levels in your physical and mental conditioning?
• Would you like to receive powerful, success coaching exercises that can help you create clarity in your focus, purpose, and mission in life?
• Would you like to create more energy?
• Do you want a specific action plan to create the results you want?
• Do you want more balance in your life?

If you answered “Yes!” then what’s keeping you from having it?

When you set a goal, but haven’t changed your patterns, habits and old programming, you end up going back to your old ways, even though you have the best intentions.

Plus, you often do not have the support of the people around you.

From an early age you were taught to “be tough” and not have feelings or doubt or worry. But, these are natural when you are making any shift, so it’s important to have ongoing support to help you get through these moments so you can breakthrough and truly live the life you want.

Plus, it’s great to have an outside coach who you can be open and honest with what you need. Even if it’s just someone to cheer you up on a bad day or celebrate with you on a good day.

I have put together a unique 30-day “Create Your Life Your Way Transformation Program” for you based on many requests for a specific, powerful program that addresses all areas of your physical health, business, spirituality, mindset, and success.

In the 30 days you will discover:

• How to unlock yourself from old behaviors and imprisoning beliefs, including fears that limit you and hold you back from achieving your true goals and dreams
• How to really live your life on purpose with joy, happiness and love
• To understand the spiritual side of yourself – tap into and utilize your true power
• How to get crystal clear about what you really want in life and then create an action plan for achieving it
• How to create a focused goal in 30 days
• Game plan for nutrition and exercise to support you
• Hormones and how they can make or break you and what you can do about it
• Time management tips that will help you balance out all your obligations & responsibilities
• How to discover and create more happiness, vibrancy, and vitality in your life

Acquire all you really want, need and deserve – romance, wealth, success, health – without limits!

Maybe time has “gotten away from you” and you’re not making the time for you. Maybe there is a goal you have put on the back burner.

Or maybe you just need someone to “kick your butt” and provide some motivation to get you fired up again.

Take care of YOU and get the support you need. When you take care of you, everything in your life gets better.

Have you ever wondered why you have to have that chocolate after you eat? Or why you need something salty? Or why you need a glass of wine to relax?

Of course, none of these things are bad on their own, but just when we feel the “need” for them.

Cravings can come for a physical need. Often we are deficient in a nutrient, so we will crave the food that will provide it for us.

Also, our body is always striving for balance internally, so we may crave sweet after eating a lot of garlic or onion. Or if you’ve eaten something that is highly acidic, your body may seek to balance that out.

Sometimes we are eating the nutrients we need, but aren’t absorbing them. That’s a big reason I recommend a detox. It helps you clean out your system so you are better able to assimilate nutrients.

Some people have body’s that are sensitive to wheat, sugar or other things, so when they eat them they will want more.

Cravings can also come from feeling like something we need is outside of us. So, we reach for whatever we think will satisfy that – chips, chocolate, cookies, wine.

But, what is it that we are really reaching for?

Is it love? Is it companionship? Is it stability? Is it acceptance?

Think back to the last time you had a craving. What did you really want?

With all of the instability in the world today, it is easy to want to reach for something to make us feel better.

But, remember you have the inner strength to get through anything. It may not feel like it, but you do.

Find ways to cultivate that inner strength. Go to a yoga class, read motivational books, listen to inspirational audio tapes, take a person who has overcome a trial to lunch and get ideas of how they did it, attend seminars that help you remember that strength.

We have a tendency to think we are weak and that we can’t do it. But, we have the power to overcome and get through anything. All struggle helps us grow.

So, the next time you have a craving, stop and ask what you really want. If you do give in, don’t judge yourself. Reaching for something outside of us is a habit, so by finding a healthy replacement we can enjoy a more healthy and peaceful life.

I could talk about the latest exercise fad or the best protein to eat for dinner, but I feel called to share something much deeper.

This may not be an easy time for you, but know that the struggles you feel now are coming forward because it’s time to release and step into the brighter you. No circumstance is bigger than the light and potential within you. You may feel like it is dimmed, but that is only temporary.

Here are a few action steps that may help if you feel like you’ve been struggling with your health, finances, relationships or any other part of your life.

Before you go to bed, pray for healing. Pray for your passion and clarity to be restored. Pray to be led to the people who can help you.

Then, be open to seminars, speakers, books or anything that seems to help you with this.

Trust that you are being led, but you must first ask for help. Know that it will arrive when you pay attention. Know that you WILL receive the next step.

Once we surrender to the help available we can be healed.

Then, as certain things come up, take action. If you hear of a book recommendation from a couple people, read that book. If you hear about a teleseminar, listen in. Not that you have to jump at everything you hear about. But, you’ll know inside if it can help.

Also, ask for help before you go to sleep. I did this last night with a few things that needed to be let go of. A lot of our healing is done in our dream state.

Also, pay attention to your dreams and write them down. They are also a clue as to what needs to be healed.

The other night I had a dream where one of my mentors was reading over my book and seeing so many mistakes.

It showed me that I still have a part of me that worries what others think and also fear of making a mistake.

Not that we are striving to NEVER have those thoughts, but I put extra attention to letting this go.

Another night I had one where this event was going on and I wanted to leave even though it wasn’t finished. It showed me that completion is a big thing for me to focus on vs. going 75 or 85%.

It’s a process and it is never easy to go into those dark places, but the other side is so beautiful and so much more meaningful.

Be patient and loving to yourself. Treat yourself like you are 5 years old. How patient would you be? How loving would you be? How understanding would you be? Treat yourself like you are in kindergarten. Be gentle.

Then, as you get inspired, take action on the next steps. Action is how we help ourselves. Help is always available, but we must act to receive it.

Unshakable faith is knowing that the next step is always revealed to us. It doesn’t mean our problem will go away instantly if we pray and have faith, but rather that the solution is one step closer as we take the next step in front of us. Our next step is always revealed to us when we have eyes to see and ears to listen.

Peace and blessings,
Jeanie

Tonight is the new moon. New moons are a time of new beginnings.

This week proved to have several new beginnings. The biggest news is that we are moving forward with filming of The Fitness Jeanie TV show. We are shooting the episodes next month in LA and they will be available starting in June/July.

But, the even more exciting news (hah, hah) was that I changed my hair color. After having the same hair style for FIFTEEN years I went to a reddish brown and I love it! I’ll include pictures next week. It’s funny because when I was at the hairdresser trying to decide what to do I felt like I was making a life or death decision.

I had to laugh at myself for the anxiety I created over such a small thing.

It made me think about how often we resist change fearing what will happen. How much of our lives are spent bringing back up the past and worrying about the future.

If we know this creates anxiety then why do we do it?

How many times have you left past failures or the fear of the future stop you from doing something you wanted to do?

I challenge you this week to be bold and do one thing you’ve wanted to do, but been afraid to take the leap. Observe yourself and all of the feelings that come up when you even think about it. Know that these are the same feelings that are continuing to create your results.

I love Peter Drucker’s quote, “the best way to predict the future is to create it.”

So, create a life you love!

If you’re not one of the 37 million people who have seen the YouTube video about Susan Boyle, you should check it out.

Just to fill you in, Susan is a 47-year-old woman who went on the show Britains Got Talent. It’s much like American Idol, except there is no age limit and your talent can be anything.

As she walked up on the stage and stated that her dream was to be a world class singer, the audience and judges just laughed.

But, then, as she opened her mouth and started singing, everyone was in awe. She had one of the best voices they had heard.

Besides this being a feel good story, it made me think about each of our dreams. How often have we taken our dreams to the “stage of life” only to have people laugh at them or think that we’re crazy for even attempting.

Or maybe that big critic has been YOU! Do you try something only to think, “You can’t really do that. What makes you think you’ll get different results this time? It’s not even worth starting. It’s too hard. Look at the economy. It’s not worth it.”

What are those voices saying in the audience of your mind?

Our thoughts create our reality. They send out waves that control our vibration and ultimately, what we attract.

It may sound strange to hear “thoughts have waves,” but they do. The first person who said sound has waves was put into a mental institution. So, it can be hard to imagine that just like the frequency of sound can be measured, so can the vibration of your thoughts.

When you are constantly criticizing yourself, then that will be your reality. It’s not some feel good idea, but rather Universal law. Like attracts like and as you put out thoughts of failure (or also success), you will attract those back to you.

If you’ve been trying to lose those last 10 or 20 pounds without success or trying to start a new business or just feel depressed despite your life looking good on paper, it may not be something outside you that needs to change, but rather inside you. If you feel like despite all of your efforts, you’ve been struggling with your weight or some other part of your life; you need a mental detox.
