When I say the words “weight loss program” what is your response?

Do any of the following statements resonate?

• “I’ve tried them all. Sometimes they work for a bit, but then the weight comes back.”

• “I just haven’t found the right one yet.”

• “Did someone say weight loss? Tell me more!”

• “I am so tired of struggling with my weight, spending heaps of time and money trying to fix this problem.”

This year I’ve felt inspired to slow down, to be more present, to experience the beautiful flow of life. Above all, I’ve felt called to create space for stillness.

Maybe you can relate to feeling overwhelmed, busy, and mentally obsessed with planning and doing.

This was my norm for many years- rushing from one thing to the next and still feeling like I wasn’t accomplishing enough.

A few months ago I’d mentioned to my husband, Tom, that I would enjoy a pink crystal, to hold and admire, and consequently use as a tool to align with the present moment. I sent the thought out into the universe, and forgot all about it.

This week I am inspired to share with you my “plan” to have no plans- to increase my awareness of the present moment and release my life-long desire to plan. I am reminded of how much of my past involved an effort to resist, ignore or numb the present, especially when I judged it to be boring or uncomfortable.
