Television is Designed and Intended to Create Anxiety, Stress, and Low Self-Esteem
Many of you have already figured it out; television creates stress – period. Commercial television is designed and intended to create stress for the simple reason that stressed-out people buy things to sedate or distract themselves – or to solve the problems the television tells them they have. This form of mass-hypnosis has been so effective, there are now thousands of television channels; and, a new mass-market has been generated by creating unrealistic self-images and low self-esteem with artificial images of artificial people – and the answer to your problems just a toll-free telephone call away (and “just three-easy payments of $49.95…”).
I Can Make You Thin; and You Can, Too!
The Learning Channel (TLC) is airing a series featuring world-famous hypnotherapist and life-coach, Paul McKenna, as he introduces people to the mind-body connection and new Energy Psychology techniques designed to restore calm in the mind and body by quieting the nervous system and turning-off the stress response. The program is called, “I can make you thin!” and it promises to be quite a hit. But can watching television really make you lose weight?
Create Your Reality; Experience Self
Who creates your reality? Who defines who you are? Who decides, on a day-to-day basis, who you will "pretend" to be? A wife, a businessman, a school teacher, a homeless person? And where is this "person" who makes these decisions? And how are these things created, defined, and decided — including the various egos and labels we create for ourselves (our "pretend" selves — the part that is continuously changing)? I asked these kinds of questions — and many more — and was given a book to write. Where I had questions, I now have answers. Translating them, however, isn’t always easy; and living them is another story altogether.
Enlightenment in the Mirror
So, do you want to know how to make yourself really fat and miserable — and stay that way? It’s actually pretty simple; so simple, in fact, most women (and some men) already use this technique unconsciously. Here’s how it works:
1. Stand in front of the mirror.
2. Notice all the things about yourself that you do not like.
3. Hate what you see in the mirror — or what you look like.
4. Think about how overweight, fat, out-of-shape, or ugly you think you are — or think your body is.
5. (FOR ADVANCED STUDENTS ONLY!) Breathe life into your curses, foul-thoughts, and negative self-talk by speaking them out loud. Openly criticize yourself; and, for super-fast action, talk this way where others can hear you!
I told you it was simple. In fact, I bet you’re already doing it — or at least practicing some of these techniques. It only takes a few heavy, burdensome thoughts to make your body heavy and burdensome. Heavy thoughts = Heavy body.
The Mind-"Booty" Connection
Lately, there has been a lot of discussion about the mind-body connection. Of course, this discussion has been going on for thousands of years; and the new consensus matches the old — there really is no "connection" — the mind and body are the same. The body is simply the visible repository for those things we hold in our mind; the body is the physical representation, or reflection of, the mind.
In a way, though, I still say they are connected simply because of this obvious RELATIONSHIP — which, to me, implies "Connection." At any rate, the shape of your body — and the size of your booty — is intimately related to the shape of your mind and thoughts. If your mind is cluttered with old junk-thoughts, so will your body and life be cluttered with old junk. Keep your mind, body, and life fresh; change your mind often.
Shedding pounds by shedding thoughts
Your body is simply an extension and reflection of your mind. That statement took less than three-seconds to read, but could take lifetimes to fully understand. Nonetheless, it is a fact; and it is a fact that you would do well to try and understand. Of course, you don’t have to; but it will make your life happier and more rewarding if you do. Books and books — including the Bible — have tried to teach and explain this fact; but it is still up to each individual to come to understand it and apply it in their own lives.
The good news is that there is no time limit; so don’t get in a hurry and don’t be anxious about outcomes — or your current situation. Take your time and relax. Be patient with yourself, and be good to yourself as you try to understand how your body is created and re-created on a daily basis — actually moment-by-moment — to reflect the status of your mind. When things disappear from your mind, there is nothing to keep the physical reflection in place; and, in time, it will fall away on its own.
