An honest answer

We've all seem to have come to a standstill. I would like to pose a question or two for each one of us and I'd like truthful answers (NOT EXCUSES) as to why each of us are stuck.

I believe that when loosing weight each pound is connected to something emotional that is either protecting us from getting hurt or hiding us from our feelings. With Brittany's comment about her friend saying that often, "over-weight people live in cluttered homes" I realized that we could be hiding behind our clutter as well.

-So why are you allowing your "stuff" own you instead of you owning it?

-What is keeping you from progressing forward?

Like I said, I'd like you to be very thoughtful of the HONEST reason you have come to a stand-still. Be careful that you aren't just hiding behind excuses. None of us NEED this extra baggage in our lives. We don't need to hide behind it. Please don't hide behind your spouse or your kids with getting to the real truth. This has to do with you. It has to do with me. No one else. It doesn't have to do with not having the right containers or the right materials to make it happen. It doesn't have to do with the way you were raised. Look inside your core. Your heart. Find it and own up to it. What is holding you back from de-cluttering your life?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For me, I strongly believe I'm afraid. I don't want to say it's because I was raised in a home that I probably would've been taken away by DCFS for living in, because that's not anything that I can control. This is about now. Who I am now. Where I am now. And I can control both of these things.

So where am I? Who am I? I'm scared. I'm scared of doing the work and having it go backward. I'm scared of finishing what I start. Brittany has a book that says "it's okay to not finish what you start because that's who you are."-or something like that. I have a hard time believing it. There is something in my core that says something about having an end to things isn't good. What is it that isn't good? It's a belief system. It's what Satan wants me to believe because finishing things is where
I. Will. Find. My. Power.
We are all afraid of the true power that we hold. We live in our Carnal Nature 95% of the time and only in our Divine Nature 5%. Satan wants us to be buried in belief systems because he doesn't want us to find the truth about who I really am. If I am so bogged down by my home degrading myself for such things, I can't show love. I can't BE love. Those are the things that I am and the truth that I am hiding from.

I am power. I am love.

I vow to myself that I will continue to dig under all of this weight and under all of this clutter because the truth is the treasure underneath it all. I can't shine while I'm hiding under all of these disguises. It's time to be present. This is what I have found for myself and I can't wait to hear what you find that lies within your core.

Do something. Even if it's small. Clean something because YOU are worth it.
GO!
