What are you thinking? If you don't know, then turn inward and ask, "What am I thinking?" Our thoughts are how we create what will show up next in our lives.

If you are unhappy about an area of your life, observe your thoughts. Are you thinking about past events or worrying about the future? Either way, you are not receiving the gift of the present moment.

If you are frustrated with your body, examine your thoughts. If we focus on self-defeating ideas such as, "I'll never be able to lose weight," we are projecting into the future, and this can cause fear and anxiety. We might think, "Uh, oh... If I don't lose weight, I'll never have the life I deserve." Feelings of hopelessness can often follow. "It's no use, I'm a failure. I don't deserve to have the life of my dreams." This type of thinking convinces us that we have no faith in our ability to change.

If we are not living in the present moment, we are constantly pulling ourselves backward or forward. It is no wonder that we might feel "stuck", and the result is that our weight will not budge no matter what diet plan we try or how much exercise we do. Our body is responding to our judgments.

If you choose to nurture thoughts that are in alignment with your dreams, you will be guided to achieve your goals. Give yourself the gift of living every moment in the present. The past is gone and worrying about the future will not change anything. Enjoy today - it is where your power is. This power can help you create the highest and best life you have ever known. All you have to do is change where you place your attention.
