Are you grateful for your body?

The size and shape of your body are choices.
Gratitude is also choice.
A feeling. A gift.
An act.
An attitude.
A responsibility.
A permit.

What is your gratitude permitting?

So many choices!

We always have choice.
Including our attitude to what is.
And how we're feeling.
How can that be?
Because we have free will.
What we choose is our responsibility. No-one else's.
Are you enjoying your choices ... and their effects?

What do I expect?

When I don't stick to my diet,
How can I expect not to put on weight?
I love food.
It nourishes me.
Up to the point of excess.
Then it's my responsibility to stop.
Each and every time I'm faced with food.

What's the truth?

We know what's true for us, don't we?
Our bodies know, even if our minds sometimes try to fool us.
Telling the truth and lying feel different.
"I'm sorry, but it's true!" can be genuine.
The 'truth' can sometimes hurt.
Especially when we conceal it from ourselves, or others, for so long.
It takes courage and responsibility to reveal it.

Are you hiding anything?

Who's responsible for truth?

We are!
How we see ourselves, the world, all that happens, and our place in it, is our responsibility.
What we perceive to be true may not be!
Check it out.
Ask questions, about yourself and others.
Don't be satisfied until you are.
It's a fabulous life if we let it be.

Easier said than believed, I know.  But it's true!

Take responsibility for the choices you make

Don't blame others. And don't blame yourself!
Learn from your mistakes.
If something isn't working, it doesn't make you feel good.
Don't do it anymore. Change something. Make a different choice.
Easier said than done - perhaps. Unless you really see yourself acting differently, before the event!
Take responsibility for your choices - now, and feel good about them.
Only then can we really be happy, knowing we are the master of our own destiny.

Who loses?

"Isn't it sad when we don't take responsibility?" - NiSr

When no-one takes responsibility,

its easy to blame others,

anyone, except ourselves,

for harmful actions or inaction.

Let's stand up and be counted,

especially when we make mistakes.

Isn't that better for everyone?

Live and let live.

"Be responsive to boundaries." - NbSr

Boundaries exist.

Everywhere.

We need to feel them.

And respect them.

Otherwise damage will be done.

Our responsibility is to set and maintain our own boundaries.

Whilst allowing others to do the same.

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?

Treat yourself - well!

"Giving myself permission to be responsible for my health allows delightfully different outcomes." - SRYP

Enjoy responsibility - your ability to respond.

Our bodies and health are responses to how we treat them.

Treat yourself - well!

Making healthy mistakes

"I am responsible for my mistakes, the consequences to my health and impact on others." - SRSR

Mistakes are OK. They're more than OK.

Provided we learn from them ... and celebrate that learning!
