The Law of Attraction and The Law of Love is one and the same thing ... INLOVE WITH MY BODY

The Law of Attraction and The Law of Love is the same thing.

you ONLY attract what you LOVE.  you ONLY attract that to which you give your constant attention - to which you give your words and emotions.

So - be careful what you say and more importantly, what you FEEL.

Because it is what you FEEL that provides the fuel and the energy to your thoughts and words.  

The beauty of it is - we control what we FEEL.  It is an area which is under our complete control.  Even if we don't realise it.  Even if we don't make a concerted effort to control the feelings we have ... it is so.  And it is these feelings which is the magnetic force attracting people, circumstances and events into our lives and our experience.  And it is so for EVERYONE.  No-one is exempt from this Law.   What we FEEL about, we bring about.  

It's exactly like the Law of Gravity.  it doesn't only work for some people and not for others.   For good people, beautiful people, intelligent people, strong people.   NOPE - it works for everyone.

Take care to manage your feelings.  Turn them around when you're feeling down.   Write in your gratitude journal every single day.   Try to start your day off with this practice.   I PROMISE you that it works.   This energy of gratitude is the same essence as the energy of love.  The energy of your gratitude will generate a stream of loving energy that will magnetise more and more of what you're grateful for.   Write of all the things you LOVE in your life.  Write them every single day and see how the Law of Love - brings you more of what it is that you write about, more of that for which you're grateful.  

This is a trick which I used for the area of my health and my body shape.   I started FEELING really happy and grateful for my awesome body.  Even when what I saw reflected in the mirror was an image I wanted to change.  And I was grateful especially on those days after a hectic binge session of eating and drinking.  I focused on how great my body was FEELING.  My awesome sex-on-legs body.  My ABS growing and growing.  And slowly, slowly - with determined and relentless focus on how I felt about my body and gratitude for what I loved about my body ... I experienced more and more reasons for loving my body.  Perfect circumstances arose where the perfect people spoke to me at the perfect time when I was ready to listen to the perfect message about what it is that I need to do to change my health and my body.  I attracted the perfect personal coach into my life.  One who understood me and one who developed the perfect training program and eating plan.   That's how it works.  I totally believe that it started with my feeling great about my body ... and not the other way around!   I had to love my body first ... before I attracted the perfect circumstances and people at the perfect time.

I LOVE THESE CHEAT MEAL TIPS FOR THE WEEKEND!!


These life-long ‘cheat’ ideas from Marissa Lippert – author of The Cheater’s Diet – works so well for me on a daily basis … it is a MUST share

Eat treats
"Allow for two mouth-watering, indulgent sweets each week," Lippert says. “And focus on quality—a scoop of really great real ice cream, a rich cookie or coffee drink.” Budget about 200 to 300 calories for each.

Dine out

Give yourself two nice “splurge” meals a week. “This is your time to have the non-diet foods you thought were completely off limits—such as slices at your favorite pizzeria, or a filet with mashed potatoes,” she says. The only caveat: Use portion control. Limit yourself to two small slices of pizza with a side salad, order small cuts of meat, and eat just half of creamy, cheesy sides.



Give yourself cocktail tickets

You can still enjoy wine, beer, or a Cosmopolitan—but you’ll need to cut back if you’re trying to lose a pound or two a week. Figure out your weekly average, and cut that by one-fourth; that’s your maximum number of drinks each week.

Savor some chocolate

You can enjoy some every single day: Have two or three tasting squares—about 75 calories worth of chocolate. And buy the really good stuff (explore some brands to try at www.chocosphere.com). “Choose great-tasting chocolate, and you’ll be able to eat smaller amounts and be satisfied,” Lippert says.

Go ahead—add on to your salad

With all the extra toppings, restaurant salads can easily add up to 700, 800, even 900 calories. But who wants a bowl of naked lettuce? Instead, load a plate (not a bowl) with dark greens, some protein to fill you, and whatever fresh fruit and veggies you like. Cheat by adding two or three one-tablespoon servings of the fattening stuff (dried fruit, nuts, seeds, cheese, bacon crumbles, croutons, fried tortilla strips, or avocado). Dress your salad with one tablespoon of a real vinaigrette or oil and vinegar—fat helps satisfy you and unlocks some nutrients in your salad. Now, dig in.

Reach for the breadbasket

If bread is your weakness, eat the best: If the basket on the table is filled with stale, cold slices or squishy sandwich-style stuff, you’ve got a good reason to ask the waiter to take it away: That bread won’t make you happy. But when you’re offered a hearty, artisan loaf with a dense texture and crisp crust, treat yourself to a small slice, says Lippert. Gild it with a teaspoon of olive oil or butter and enjoy every wonderful bite.



Party with a plan

No need to camp out by the crudités during a party. Scan the buffet, making note of your favorite hors d’oeuvres. Go back, and choose only two or three higher-calorie appetizers. (Want chips and dip? Count out seven chips, and dip—don’t scoop—into the guacamole.) Fill up on veggies and fresh fruit, and save room for one sweet treat at the end. You deserve it!
