Goals

June 27, 2007 By Jenny Ryan 6 Comments

This weekend I attended a workshop on EFT and my classmates and I got into a discussion about all the different areas where we could use this great healing tool.

Since we were all women, unsurprisingly the conversation turned to the question of weight, and one woman offered this possible alternative view.

“Say you weigh 150 pounds, but you want to weigh 125,” she explained. “If you think about it, you do already weigh 125-plus a little extra. So you could use an affirmation that says ‘I am at my goal weight’ because you are.”

“That’s true,” piped up another woman. “Apparently a lot of us are just overachievers!”

    ^^^^ What she said 😉

    I’m like so totally super-dy duper-dy over achieving. I realize that this sentence may have you cringing right now.

    Get over it.

    *cheeky grin*

    Interesting reframe!
    …and doesn’t our culture love over achievers?
    I actually love this because our culture is very biased towards folks who are “overweight”….maybe this can change that:)

    Love it!

    Your post reminds us all how we choose to look at things can change the way we feel about ourselves and the world.
