Have an Urge? AIM!

Have  an Urge?  AIM!


If you are like me, you know what an urge is.
The dictionary defines it as a driving force or impulse.

In reality an urge is a feeling. 

Most of the time I hear about urges - they involve food.  

If you are like I was,  when I had urges for certain foods,  it felt like I was our of control!

All I could think about was that food and having it as soon as possible.  

Can you relate? 

Would you like to know what I learned about urges? 

Urges are caused by our thoughts! 

Wait! What?!

Yes, our thoughts create our urges.  It is true that certain food like substances like refined sugar can influence our bodies to want more and more sugar. 

But, when we understand that our prefrontal cortex brain,  the part of you made in the image of God, can be utilized to choose thoughts that serve us,  we set ourselves up to overcome any urge. 

That is where we can take AIM!
A= Awareness ( awareness that our thoughts are creating the urge.  Thoughts like, "I want that.")

I= Intentionally (intentionally choose to allow the urge to be there, without complying)

M= Mindset ( Choose a Mindset that gives the urge no power.  Set you mind on thoughts like this:

" I see the thought ,'I want that.' is there, but I'm choosing to not buy in."


You will be amazed at how this will help when dealing with urges.  Creating a pause, to take AIM, will create incredible results.  

You are the master of food,  food isn't the master of you!

Maybe you're not convinced of this,  Maybe you have lost weight before, only to gain it back.  Maybe you are a stressed and busy Mom and don't believe you can cook for your family and still slim down. 

I can assist you by listening to your questions and concerns and by showing you how to use the most powerful tool on earth, your mind.

Together,  we can create strategies that will give you wisdom and confidence to begin your weight loss journey for the last time! One mini consultation is all it takes, so let's get started right away.  Click here to schedule a  simple mini session and begin transforming your life today.

Vitamin D - The Divine Vitamin -D The Divine.   This is a Vitamin you don't take.   It is one you receive.                  Because the Divine is the source of power behind all powers, the chemistry created when we experience the Divine supersedes all known laws of the body.                   There's no question that faith plays a paramount role in life with The Divine. Yet in order to "have faith," we must have something else first. First we must learn to   trust              The nature of God is unchanging; The Divine wants only what is good for us.   It is true even if we are not doing well. It doesn’t depend on our capacity to do something, it’s really about His ability to do something for us. By trusting Him, we get a confidence from...

Vitamin T-3 Three Things You Are Thankful For Yesterday we talked about straightening up your brain like you would a room that you want to keep clean and organized If you need to bring in new thoughts to practice, then say goodbye to the thoughts you have been thinking.   One of the best ways to do this is by taking Vitamin T-3 When we harness our thoughts by choosing to focus on three things we are thankful for, several things happen in our brain and body.

Your Future is Your Property Your future is your property and it is built one thought at a time.   How does it feel when you read this?   We are quickly approaching the beginning of a new year and we can create a year like no other for ourselves.   Here are a few steps I recommend for creating your future: Think about what you are thinking.  How are you thinking about you?  If your daughter or son had a friend that spoke to them like you speak to yourself, would you think they were a good friend? It is important to understand where we are with our thinking. Just like using GPS, we need to know where our starting point is.  Now that you have your beginning location, think about your destination.  It is your thoughts that will get you there.  If you want to lose some weight or organize your home or build your relationships, the way you think is the way to get there.  Speaking of The Way, how does HE s...
