Please ask!

I'm not a mind reader.
How can I know what you want if you don't say?
And when I ask what you want, it's infuriating when you say "Please yourself."
I can do that ... please myself, without knowing what you want.
But sometimes I want to know what you want.
And you need to tell me, honestly.
Then we can start negotiating.

Are you good at choosing and asking for what you want?

Rejecting openness

Closed!
I do not want to know.
**** off!
Go away!
I choose this state at this time.
Please respect that.
I accept its consequences.

Please may I have your attention?

No?
Fair enough!
Those who want to listen, will.
Those who don't, won't.
No problem.
None of us have anything to apologize for.
Or was the request intrusive?

Do you prevent people taking advantage of you?

No! I want the truth.

However seemingly unpalatable.
I can always look at things a different way.
A way that feels better.
Not to avoid the truth.
To change my thinking.
There's always another perspective, another way.
I just have to find it. What is it?

Are you good at choosing and asking for what you want?

Does this depend on what we mean by good? No!
We know what 'good' means in this context.
We can feel how good we are at this.
So, can you choose?
And ask?
Choosing is one thing. Asking is another!
And can you accept no as an answer?

Do you accept who and how you are?

If not,
what do you want to do about it?
How will that make you feel?
What's stopping you?
See yourself how you are and how you'd like to be.
Forget what you think others might think.
And make that change.

Whose help do you need?

The gym I go to has expert, free help available all the time, which is great!
They're always willing to offer new ideas and ways to exercise.
Then I have to value myself and my body enough to follow their suggestions.
Generally, I do.
Though, returning today after Christmas and a cold, to three sessions a week was a little tough.
But hey, I'm worth it!
Aren't you?

Are you good at choosing and asking for what you want?

No?
Why not?
How else can you feel good?
Choose and ask for what you want!
This is PLEASE.
Check you're causing little or no harm, to yourself and others.
And enjoy cooperating.

Are you good at choosing and asking for what you want?

No?
Then are you a people-pleaser?
It feels good when those around us have what they want.
But what about what WE want?
If we're not getting what we want because we're no good at choosing and asking for it,
then, it's likely we're always doing what others want, which will eventually lead to resentment and blame.
And that's not good!

Have the courage to choose and ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT!

It's impossible to be helped until what's wanted is known - SPEAK UP!

Intend and expect success

"I am successful!" - NiPi

Vision without action is a daydream.

Action without vision is a nightmare!

It's true, dreams can't come true unless you have them.

However, just dreaming won't make dreams come true.

We need to want things passionately and intend to have them.

That's the difference that makes the difference.

Picture plus passion is 'prayer'. You Expect Success - YES!

Blurred vision?

"Create what's not there!" - NbPv

It's not there now.

Or is it?

Perhaps you can sense it coming?

Deciding in advance ...

Seeing in to the future ...

What you'd like to see.

That's how it can be.

Passionate about losing weight and being healthy?

"YES - You Expect Success!" - YsPp

Praying? What's the point?

Picture plus passion is prayer.

Are you passionate about losing weight and being healthy?

Can you picture it? Being slimmer? Being healthier?

Praying with any doubt won't work!

Be sure what you want, ask for it, and let it come.

Then celebrate the inevitable!

Good God?

"Ask for and receive cooperative support to implement your agreements." - YaPc

You can't do it alone!

At least, not as well, or as fast.

We can all use a little help at times.

So seek it.

It will come. It has to.

Our job is to recognise it when it arrives.

Welcome and embrace it.

Absolutely perfect!

"Accept remorse and then repair." - YaSr

The truth is I have taken my body for granted.

And yet it has and can continue to serve me well.

Provided I look after it.

It's not easy changing the habits of a lifetime.

It takes vision, intention, help and unwavering expectation of success.

By all means feel remorse about your current bodily state if appropriate, then repair it.

To perfection, for it is perfect for you!

You want to relax, right?

"Intend to accept." - YaPi

I can't just relax!

I should be doing something ... anything ... but relax!

I know feeling relaxed is wonderful, freedom from pressure, imposition

Having to try to relax is bizarre, right?

Breathe ... and accept the intention to rest for a while

Take a moment to rise above it all, to look down at yourself from above

Now what's your intention?

Yes or No?

"Oh ... please?" - YPSR

"I'm Sorry, but No!"

How often do we hear that?

Is it sincere?

What do we do about it?

Is it what we want, to say, or hear?

Is apology necessary?

Do we permit ourselves and others to say Yes, and No?

What a great idea!

"Permit yourself to perceive this diet differently."

The 7 Words Diet is not just another good idea.

It's a way of life.

It's about appreciating how you feel, and feeling better.

About everything you do.

Do you see?

Take responsibility for what gets and holds your attention.

Permit it to change. It's different now, right?

Intended In-tension doesn't work - relax!

"To achieve and keep my BMI below 25, I intend to feel the consequences of 'over-eating' before I do so." - SRPI

Ask yourself ...

Have you identified your intention?

Is it clear?

Does it feel good? Any tension?

Even when you're doing it?

Have you imag-in-ed (in-imaged, and imaged-in) the consequences?

Does it still feel good?

OK ... then relax, and do it!
