Can you imagine explaining a 1200 calorie diet to your great-grandparents? Their eyes would roll back in their heads and they would certainly turn in their graves if they knew how today’s society is enslaved to the diet industry. Today experts seem to have all the answers, there is a pill for everything, and even a perfect diet for every blood type. We are inundated with things we “should” eat and “should not” eat. No wonder some people feel guilty just drooling over dessert. Heaven forbid you stare at it too long, you might actually gain an ounce just lusting after its yummyness. It has become truly ludicrous.

We are bombarded with these attitudes that program our minds and thus are consumed with information that only serves to confuse us and make us feel overwhelmed and stressed out. And then we suffer from heart disease, early strokes or get diagnosed with diseases that didn’t exist 10 or 20 years ago.

What has happened to us as a society? Why do these industries have such a hold on us? And since when have we become their slave?

Our bodies are meant to be healthy vehicles for us and food was meant to be here to nourish our bodies and for us to enjoy and savor it. Somehow over the past few decades, our bodies have become our enemies that are forever imperfect and need to be molded, reshaped and even go under the knife for corrections. I dare you to regain your freedom and gratitude for your body and to stop putting it through so much torture.

These 4 starter points can help:

1. Stop looking for answers “out there:” No matter what you’re looking for, you already have all the answers. If you have been diagnosed with a disease, ask your Higher Self for the reasons. You manifested the disease, you allowed it to happen, ask your Higher Self why you manifested whatever it is you’re experiencing and how to heal yourself. Remember that we are never given more than we can handle, and when it seems like we are given too much, there is always a way out. Seek the answer and you will find it.

2. Meditate and breathe: In order for you to access your Higher Self you must learn to meditate and spend time with your Self; start by breathing deeply and deliberately while sitting in silence. This may be the hardest thing to do for some people because as a society we have become human doings instead of human beings. Peace comes from being in a state of being, not a state of doing.

3. Move your body: You have an amazing purpose to accomplish here on earth and your body was designed to help you with this endeavor. Europeans walk an average of 2 miles per day. Here in the US with at least 1 car per household we barely walk 50 yards per day. Substitute moving your body by finding other ways; go to a fitness center or starting walking for fun; just get yourself moving.

4. Learn to love all of your body: I can’t tell you how many people I have heard say that they hate a certain part on their body, or even all of it. Yet if our country’s leader would announce that he hated all of its citizens we would have immediate war. 70 billion living cells manage the functions of our bodies and yet when we tell one body part that we dislike it then we do just that: we declare war on the entire body. Instead help your 70 trillion living cells to cooperate with each other so they can work on rebuilding your body and keeping your body healthy. Start by expressing to your body how grateful you are for the things that do work and the body parts that do look great. Feel your 70 trillion living cells relax and come to peace with what their jobs are and watch a miracle take place right within your own body. Soon your body will be your greatest ally and your best friend and will give you all the energy you need so you can be empowered and about your true purpose here.
