A Seven Day Diet For The New Year

Most diets focus merely on the waistline, yet how many of us have lost weight only to put it back on?  The seven day mental diet addresses the excess baggage and destructive thoughts we lug around between our ears that are at the heart of all failure and perceived lack in our lives. In the garden of our thoughts we must learn to carefully chose the crops (thoughts) we plant and nurture in our consciousness. One of the fundamental truths of being is the thoughts we entertain will outsource in our lives. Consider: What are you reading? Watching on television? What topics do you consistently chat with friends and family about? What thoughts do you dwell on in private? These thoughts comprise the garden of our lives, the "food of thought" we partake of daily. Remember this fundamental truth: thought is causative and once our mental diet is in order, everything else in our lives will fall into place.

Day One: Be aware of the thoughts you entertain and the “food” you feed your mind. Be conscious in the moment. Observe the types and frequency of the random thoughts that float up into your consciousness. Observe passively and do not judge or try to discern the origin of a particular thought at this time for this leads to reflecting morbidly which in turn leads to failure. Keep notes if it helps, no extra points for spelling or correct punctuation. DO NOT tell anyone that you are on this or any other diet for that matter, to do so all but guarantees failure. If the idea of doing this makes you cringe, then don’t. You are not ready. Just file it away and when ready, this wonderful tool of freedom will be available.
