We’ve all experienced it. Your diet plan has been going great. You’ve worked hard to maintain healthy weight and yet you’ve hit a slump where you are experiencing a heaviness and sluggishness in your life. The masses of pressures are proving difficult to shift--spiritually speaking. How do we reduce the load and get ourselves streamlined and functioning with better balance?
Spiritual Weight Loss Tips:
1. Assess your health and weight situation. Ask yourself how much unnecessary load you currently bearing. Are you carrying too much of the weight of the world on your shoulders? In what areas are you healthy? Where do you need to make some changes?
2. Find the right diet plan. Choose what is healthy and feed your mind and spirit on what builds you up and cleanses you. Cut out the spiritual junk food that saps energy and time, the stuff that drags you down. Things like over-busyness, spending too much money, negative people, obsessive worrying.
Listen to your dreams. Point your inner compass toward long-term preparation, exercising strengths, and reaching your life-goals. Know ‘where’ you will BE when you get where you are going.
3. Start! No procrastination, no excuses. Getting started is the most difficult part.
Expect some withdrawal toxicity—you may experience some doubts, cravings, fleshly turmoil that threatens to derail your progress. You can conquer! Just press through.
4. Use hunger to your advantage. When you are craving MORE, weigh your options wisely. Satisfy your longings with meaty, substantial sustenance for your spirit, things that will make you thrive. Stay away from dead, empty, quick fixes.
5. Exercise with a friend. Go to higher levels of expectancy and success by getting your friends to join you. This provides an atmosphere of support and accountability. It also helps you avoid self-analysis paralysis. We sharpen each other as we work together and encourage each others’ growth.
6. Lift weights. Give up your ‘hefty’ concerns. Release your burdens, guilts, expectations, and worries to the Higher Power—the One who knows you and loves you. The One who sees what you are carrying and wants to support you.
7. Stick with it. Experts say that doing something twenty-one days in a row creates a habit. Create the habit of letting go of the stuff that weighs you down. Embrace the joy that comes with being ‘lightened’. If you get stuck, be grateful for progress, and start again.
Imagine living life as the new, slimmer YOU—a lean machine able to fight any battle in life because you are fit and confident in spirit, not hindered in any way. You are even stronger because of the TONS that you have faced--and overcome.
Whether you are new to the world of dream interpretation or a trained and seasoned dream interpreter, the most common complaints concern confusion in comprehending dreams.
Their arrogance erects walls that no one can scale. They don’t stop to ask questions or listen because they know it all, and they think everyone should cherish their advice. Listening to people for understanding seems demeaning to them--a waste of their precious time.
There’s nothing like waking up in the morning within a deep, restful bubble of tranquility, before the day’s swirl of thoughts and activities begin to jar me fully awake.
I remember my children’s middle school days, when ‘someone’ decided that a certain kind of gym socks were popular—the knee-high kind.
When it rains, it pours.
4. Get dirty
In real life, a purse or wallet contains vital private information, keys, personal items, and money. Symbolically, a missing wallet could represent an identity crisis regarding issues of personal value, personality, favor, power, or security.
Do you have a seer gift?
I dreamed that I discovered an article in Glamour Magazine--about me! I had labored intently to author much of the storyline, but someone else had 'mastered' the finished, published product. The words and accompanying photos stunned my mind as they portrayed me as 'glamorous'--apparently I had achieved much status as a 'beautiful' person who not only made impact on society with my accomplishments, but also with integrity and solid character. 
How often do you juggle difficult and unanticipated circumstances in your life while asking yourself, “When did I sign up for THIS?"
My husband, at the time, sported an attitude about bikers on highways. It intensified when we wearily arrived at our campground in Sturgis--in our family station wagon—to find every inch of camping turf covered with tents, bikes, drinking bikers, and biker babes! We inquired about our campground ‘reservation’ and were told we could set up anywhere we could find a spot among the thousands of ‘Harley Huts’. All other campgrounds nearby were similarly filled…no vacancy.
Life is full of the unexpected—you never know what is just around the corner.
