Hello, I don't know about anyone else but over the years I've found the search for what is "right" for me has been vast and quite frankly exhausting and I still haven't got a clue. Let's just take one issue, body imagine, it has been a constant stone in my shoe so to speak. So now instead of trying to find the perfect diet and perfect exercise routine and believe me I have tried most, I stopped and asked myself why do I want to improve my body anyway, the answer was pretty simple once I disected all the reasons I thought, I was left with just this one "I want to be perfectly happy", not just happy in some areas but completely happy in every area. My body image holds me back from being happy, how ridiculous. So, I am at this point in my awareness that I haven't got a clue how to change myself to create the body image that I desire. I have tried every diet known to man, well not everyone, I heard a new one the other day where you ingest a hormone which is taken from the urine in pregnant women in India, and I have wore all the tread off my sneakers and I am still no wiser. So I am going to give it one last try but this time I am going to try a completely different approach, let me share it with you, I am going to give up, yes, give up. I am going to constantly remind myself that I am not a body, I am free, I am as God created me. I am going to remind myself I am not the story I have been giving myself, I am going to watch my thoughts more and catch the ones that describe the conditions about myself that don't make me happy and simply say "I want to see things differently". And see how I go and reminding myself I am not looking for the improved body image but rather to be happy. I will let you know how I go.
Feel like a chat.
Hello and welcome to my page. It is nice that you came to visit. I came across A Course in Miracles about 9 months ago and have been doing the practises in the Workbook since then.
About 30 years ago I read a book called "Christ in You", and in this book it said when the student was ready the teacher would be back., or something like that. The exact words I can't remember but that was the general idea. Then arrived The Course in Miracles. Words can't express how grateful I am of this amazing book. The daily lessons are transforming.
I am probably like a lot of others nothing else has really ever done it for me. Not so say everything else did have its place and teachings at the time.
I started off as a Christian, parted ways with that, tried some other eastern teachings, dropped them and now back to being a Christian. You know, even saying that, I don't really hook myself on to any one faith. I remember coming to the opinion that most teachings say the same thing if you look at it the right way.
Well it was nice chatting to you and I welcome a chat from you to.
