Hey again, all right so I had something else that I wanted to just address
really quick. I know it wasn't the main topic that someone brought up but it was
mentioned in a comment and for whatever reason I've continued to remember it and
so I thought I don't know maybe I should address it and say something. So I've
had multiple people come to me over the past few years about the fact that they
of losing weight and if there is a way to lose weight and rest. Yes there is. In
fact I have a testimony that I'm going to post directly below this in the
comments of someone who has that I was working with and who has a really
amazing testimony about losing weight and rest and I've talked to several
other people about it as well. It just seems to be on something on someone's
heart on people's hearts partly because that is an area in which people can
feel a lot of strife. They can feel them really pushing and really striving
desperately for something and not seeing especially a lot of people not seeing
much result especially for the amount to which they're striving and it's very
frustrating and so they they recognize so easily that that's pushing that's
striving that's working really hard and then they get really I'm frustrated that
there's just no not the level of results that they would expect it it would have
expected from that much work. So it's it's an area in which people are easily
recognized that what they're doing is working you know and striving. So I just
wanted to mention really quick I just like to kind of like drop these things
in periodically just to look like give y'all kind of like a taste of the
different aspects of life that can be affected and touched by rest. We I don't
want to go into any one of these too deeply simply because our time will and
our focus will be eaten up by by things that are things that we need a
foundation for in order to be able to shift into these other things and see
the results in these other things and sometimes they look like the more shiny
object but and you know that we can get distracted by but I do want to make sure
that people get an understanding of when we talk about the foundations and when
we're focusing on the foundations what what it can result in what areas of life
that it can affect and so losing weight is one of them and one of the and so in
losing weight in rest the way that you do it and this is very simple and a
simple explanation and so like when I get on a transformation with someone
that like will specifically you know say that hey look I am I'm not in the rest
intensive and I'm just wanting to learn how to lose weight and rest and sign up
for a transformation session and this is all we talked about so it could be it's
a bit longer just to be able to answer people's questions about all the
complicated ways that they've approached it but it's honestly just a very simple
approach and that's the fact that you have to give up losing the weight you
have to and I don't mean give up as in like you're giving up I mean that you're
letting go of losing the weight you're surrendering it because sometimes it's
our desperateness it all balled up in our desperateness to lose weight is
actually the resistance to losing it and so our body can feel we're making our
body feel like it's the enemy that it's not doing what we're wanting it to do
and so our body does not consider itself safe with us therefore sees this as the
enemy and therefore is trying to protect itself against us and therefore goes
into self-protection mode and doesn't lose weight doesn't obey us doesn't do
what we wanted to do and so the other so anyway that then after you just fully
let it go then my husband's texting me is going where did you go I left him in
the apartment busy doing something and I came out here to do a video and he's
just like where are you and so I think we're gonna order pizza tonight so from
this place that we've been wanting to try and so anyway the thing is talking
about losing weight and everything I'm not trying to lose weight right now but
I have gone through quite a lot of it in fact I've I've been I've gone through
some very very very major journeys of trying to lose weight so and and I've
walked other people through this though anyway the thing is that after you
release it and and let it go let go ever ever losing
away and I don't mean you're giving up hope. It's very different than letting it
go. We're gonna be talking again I'm dropping these little things in that we
don't really have a foundation for yet so don't worry if you don't get it. This
just gives you a hope and a taste of where it is that we're heading. I will
give you the foundation of how to let something go and how to recognize when
you haven't let it go and then how to actually walk yourself through finally
letting it go. So we'll talk all about that but just very generally and this is
what you do. You just you release it. You release God from from ever causing you
or helping you to lose weight and you don't hold that against him and you
don't hold it against your body. You don't hold it against
yourself. You just let it go. You're not giving up on it ever happening. You're
just letting it go. Again we'll talk more about all of that and about letting go
because that's how what we have to do with everything is just let it go. Then
after that what you what is extremely important to do like I said your body is
afraid of you so and it feel and it's been made to feel like it's the enemy
that why aren't you getting into shape? Why aren't you losing weight? I haven't
been feeding you. I did it. We don't realize often that we're feel so badly
towards our body but if it's not satisfying us by how it looks or how
it's acting then it gets that it gets that subconscious message that we're
sending it that we're not pleased with it. So what we have to do is we have to
love our body. I mean and I do mean love it. I mean like we have to love it and
accept it kind of similar to as if it wasn't a part of us. Sometimes it's
easier for us to see it like that. See it as something that's a part of it that's
something separate from you as if I mean think about it this way you don't
approach it like this but think about it as if it was a child. Think of it kind of
like your child and that you want to love, accept it, unconditionally take care
of it, provide protection for it and you provide for it and protect it like
what I was saying. I just wanted to split the words really quick. You're
trying to provide for it you're trying to protect it and and you see it as as a
good thing and then it will begin to feel safe with you because you are
making yourself a safe place for it. You are making yourself safe for it to for
it to be with you for it to interact with you and therefore it will relax and
as it relaxes guess what it lets go of the weight. So I will be posting a
testimony as something that someone sent me. They had tried and tried and
tried and tried and tried to lose weight. If you knew this person's backstory they
were doing everything. They were they were watching what they ate. They were
cutting down on portions. They were exercising and exercising and exercising
and they were just they were trying so very hard and nothing was working and
they didn't know why and then I walked them through this and very effortlessly
they dropped 31 pounds. They just dropped it and they're going I don't know what
happened. In fact I could be wrong but I don't think they were exercising. I could
be wrong but I do not think so. They were and I mean I'm pretty doggone sure
about that based off of my conversations but then but I got their permission to
share the to share the testimony. I'm not going to tell you you know who it is.
It's somebody that I've worked with in one of my rest intensives before and but
anyway and that I got permission to be able to give you send you to be able to
post the testimony. So I hope that that will be an encouragement to people. I
myself have not only lost weight but keep it off through rest and weight was
such a very big deal to me that I have gained and lost 40 pounds twice in my
life and I gained 40 pounds. How fast did I do that? I think I gained it in five
months. I don't think it was six months. Five or six months I gained 40 pounds.
You know there's the freshman 15 blew that out of the water. I was the freshman
40 and then I had to lose it all and I lost it all in one summer in three
months and then I gained it all back and then I had to lose it all again. So I
learned that pushing hard and striving to lose weight isn't dealing with the
problem because then you just put it all back on anyway if you can finally if
you
can lose it it's very very very very hard and all you do is just push
yourself harder the more that you lose weight the harder that you have to push
to lose the next bit so anyway the way that I was able have been able since to
lose it and to continually keep it off is by resting is by loving my body and
being a safe place for it and it is wild it just it doesn't take it on and
whenever it does it just drops it off so but I have to give it what it needs and
it needs safety it needs love and it needs acceptance so anyway I hope that
that's helpful I just wanted to give like I said just pop in periodically and
give y'all hope and almost like a like a like an anchor in the future so that
you know the direction to which we're heading you know what it is that you're
investing in in learning about how to shift interest and how what you can
expect how you can expect not just the results that you get in your life to
change but just how you approach life period will just completely change
every single area so anyway hopefully that's helpful and hopefully hopefully
people are encouraged and I hope y'all are having a really good weekend really
restful we'll see y'all tomorrow night and I'll talk to you later
