The more I read of Mish’s blog, Eating Journey, the more I like it.  I loved this post in particular and wanted to make sure you saw it:

Investing

I was totally moved by this comment from my post on the SCALE yesterday

weigh your soul…
really, whatever it is you focus your energy in, grows, so I think it’s better to focus on the things you want to grow in your life instead of in those you want to get rid of

I woke up this morning. I thought about what I’d normally put my energy into, and what I WANT to put my energy into:

• I will not eat any sugar or dairy today
  • I am focusing on feeding my body things it can process, that are healthy and make me feel good.
• I will no binge today
  • I am going to get down with my bad self and honour the signals from my body
• I will lose 2 pounds this week
  • I will continue to work out and eat healthy. I have faith that whatever my body wants to lose it will. (that felt really good to write)
• I don’t want to feel this fat again
  • You may be a bit bloated, but you are focusing on fueling and exercising–you are focusing on a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
    
• I will get my house clean
  • Living in a clean, inviting space is something that I take pride in.

I would argue that focusing your mental patterns around things you want to actually INVEST your energy into is so much more powerful, then investing into things you don’t want.

It’s not sugar coating anything. It’s refocusing your mental/physical/spiritual juice.

I just love the positivity of this message.  And isn’t it true, that when we put out positive vibes to the ol’ universe, we get amazing things back?  Aren’t you more likely to achieve your goals if you frame them in a positive way?
