On a Journey Back to Her Wings: weight loss

Showing posts with label weight loss. Show all posts

I'm hosting a book club.

"The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss and Body Confidence" by Jessica Ortner has changed my life.

Seriously.

I started the book at the end of May and

immediately began tapping every day.

I've tapped on food cravings. I've tapped on overwhelm.

I've tapped on feeling beautiful and sexy again.

This book is a must read and do for all women.

It's not just about weight, it's really about body confidence.

It's about self confidence, truly believing in yourself and

feeling 100% comfortable in your own skin.

When you reach that point, that's when changes happen.

That's when you begin to make better choices,

not because you have to, but because you want to.

You start eating better, you start a yoga routine, you start walking, you start taking care of yourself.

When you love yourself inside and out,

you want to treat yourself well.

This book helps tear down all the obstacles

we've acquired through the years.

There are tapping scripts throughout the book for a variety of issues from negative self talk to emotional food cravings.

Since reading Jessica's book, I've lost 15 inches of myself.

I've started doing yoga in the mornings.

I'm eating less and loving life more.

I'm so excited about these shifts in my life.

I decided to start an online book club.

It starts August 25 with a private facebook group.

The club is free and limited to 20 active and willing participants.

The group will provide a safe place to speak freely,

sharing our journey for body confidence.

Interested? Email me at themagickmuse@gmail.com.

Note: August 25, 2014
***The book club is closed. If interested email me and I'll let you know of any future book clubs and/or classes.***

Peace, Inspiration, & Love,

This tapping stuff works. (EFT-Emotional Freedom Technique)

At the end of May, I started tapping on a regular basis.

What's tapping?
Well-I talk more about the details in my
blog post "I'd tap that."

Tapping is also called emotional freedom technique, eft for short. It combines acupressure with psychology.

It's been incredible.

I have finally found something that works for me.

It came into my life when I was about to give up and
accept being a fat girl.

But I was relentlessly resistant to that.
I refuse to be labeled as fat.
If I accept that label, then I feel that I put put that belief on me. And once that belief is there, then it's true.

And it's not true.

No.

Fat does not define me.
Fat is not my healthy weight.

I'm on a mission. I'm on a journey.
I'm on the road to my ideal weight.
And thanks to eft, I'm on the right track.

You may recall back in April, I declared to the world that I was
going to lose 5 pounds a month.

I really thought I was ready.

I wanted to get rid of the weight.

I devised a plan, a most excellent plan.

I was doing good. I was kicking ass.
People started to notice that I was losing weight.
Chris noticed.

I felt energized and sexy and on my way.

And then POP.
I screwed myself.
Again.

I was at the gym and I pushed myself beyond my limits.

Subconscious self-sabotage?

So, I either tore my psoas (which happened before),
or pulled a rib.
I did something and it sucked.

I could barely move.
This put me out of commission with working out
for over a month.

The weight came back.
The overwhelm came back.

I was forced to question myself.
Why does this keep happening to me?
What is holding me back from moving forward?

I eat pretty healthy, mostly organic. I don't do fast food (well-hardly ever), I drink tons of water.

What is it?

At the same time that I was at a complete loss, I watched a video with Nick Ortner and tapping.
I went along with the tapping exercises.
Afterwards, I felt slightly different.

Was it just my hope?
Did this tapping craziness work?

I started researching Nick and the Tapping Solution.
I found out his sister,
Jessica was releasing a book on
tapping for weight loss and body confidence.

I went to Amazon and bought it.

I've been tapping on a regular basis since I got her book.

Because of tapping, I've been able to
acknowledge my limited beliefs.

I found out my emotional eating triggers and I've let them go.

I realized just how "heavy" Asheville has been on me.

I have tapped and tapped on letting the Asheville overwhelm go.

After I was in Asheville for about a year, I started to feel a great heaviness on top of me. Financial burdens, transient friends, and no stability makes Asheville a rather difficult town to live in.
But I don't have to accept that. Asheville may have starving artist woe hanging about town, but I don't.

I've let it all go.

Tapping has changed my life.

I finally feel I'm moving forward. I feel I'm over the hump.

After tapping consistently for a month,
I've lost 6 pounds and 12 inches of me.

I don't have crazy food cravings anymore.
I don't have the emotional triggers anymore.

I don't feel financial suffocated anymore.
I don't feel heavy anymore.

After tapping for just a week, I was craving yoga.
CRAVING it.

I now do yoga every morning and I WANT to.
I don't feel, "I have to do this so I can be better."
No, I want to do it.
I completely enjoy it.

I have realized the gym is a highly toxic environment for me.
So much "crap" surrounds going to the gym.
I may go every once in awhile to walk or lift weights,
but I will never be a regular.

I love yoga. I can just roll out of bed and onto the mat.
No one else is around. There is no loud Lady Gaga shouting at me. I don't see 50 pairs of neon tennis shoes.
I don't feel all the mixed energies of everyone in the gym.

Tapping has changed my life. Part of me is so surprised. I guess because NOTHING ELSE has ever really worked - not for the long haul. I've never found anything else that shifts your energy and allows you to be the best you - your true authentic self.

I'm a tapping believer!

I'm so excited about tapping and
the breakthroughs I'm having that I decided to start incorporating tapping into my life coaching.
It makes complete sense!
Both coaching and tapping help you
remove obstacles from your life.

Why not combine them?

I'm now offering intro to tapping sessions.
This makes me giddy.
I want to show you how to tap.
I want you to release what's stopping you.
I want to see you soar.

Her book has changed my life.
I know I still have a long way to go,
but I'm over the moon happy that
I am moving forward in this journey.

I'd tap that.

I've become happily obsessed with tapping.

tap, tap, tap

What is that, you ask?

Tapping, also known as

EFT-Emotional Freedom Technique,

blends psychology with Traditional Chinese Medicine.

By "tapping" on acupressure points while

voicing what is going on with you,

you start to tune into your body's natural ability to heal itself.

Tapping is about honesty,

really getting down to the core of the issue.

Tapping is about bringing your power back.

It's no bullshit.

You uncover the real deal, face it head on, and release it.

Here's a great video to help one have an understanding of tapping-and if you are already familiar-
it's still a great video.

Why?

Well - it's one of my favorite people, Louise Hay.

I love this video.
I've always called Louise, the Queen of Affirmations -
apparently so do other folks.

Watch Tapping Solution's, Nick Ortner with Louise Hay.

AMAZING.

So - here are

The Tapping Points

www.TheTappingSolution.com

From watching numerous videos of Nick Ortner tapping, watching The Tapping Solution movie, and reading Jessica Ortner's book, "The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss and Body Confidence" - I've put together a personal script for getting me
started on my weight loss journey.
(For real this time - I'm digging deep to the core.)

Here's the script - are you ready to tap along?
Go for it.
Try it out.
Feel free to change the wording to whatever suits you.

KC: Even though I have all of this weight on my body, I love, accept, and forgive myself now.

Even though I’m so frustrated about all of this weight on my body and I haven't been able to shed it, I love, accept, and forgive myself now.

Even though I feel so weighed down by the weight, and I don't know how I could let myself go like this, I love, accept, and forgive myself now.

EB: This weight

SE: All of this weight

UE: Weighing me down

UN: Why won’t it let go?

CH: Why am I holding on to it?

CB: What do I need to learn here?

UA: What’s this weight teaching me?

TH: Why am I holding on?

EB: This weight on my body

SE: The weight of this weight

UE: And all this stress and frustration

UN: It’s safe to feel this way

CH: It’s safe to acknowledge my weight

CB: This is the way I feel

UA: and I accept myself with all these feelings

TH: and I can choose to let them go

EB: It’s safe to feel these feelings

SE: It’s safe to accept myself with these feelings

UE: and it’s safe to let them go

UN: What if I could release all this weight?

CH: From every cell in my body

CB: What if I could feel safe and beautiful in my body again?

UA: what if I could relax again?

TH: and know all is well

Take a nice deep breath.

Let it out..

And once more –

EB: Feeling safe in my body

SE: Relaxing in my body

UE: Releasing all this weight

UN: and knowing all is well

CH: My body is safe, my body is beautiful

CB: My spirit is safe, my spirit is beautiful

UA: I am safe and I am beautiful

TH: Right now and always

Take a few, nice deep breaths.

How do you feel?

I feel pretty damn good myself!

I've been battling weight since I turned 21.

I have realized it shouldn't be a battle.

I should just flow with my natural rhythms.

I should flow with my life and not against it.
I'm excited to see how tapping will help me on this journey.

I choose to be healthy in body, mind and spirit.
