I wanted to share this very funny story with you that happened to me yesterday . It made me laugh all day long! And since it did I must share it. It may help with your alignment just when you need it. So here goes:
I was in the grocery store shopping for specific foods to lose some of the weight I had gained since being married this past year from eating foods I usually don’t eat & eating more often than when I was single.
Anyway, this gal walks up to me and says “Hi, I just wanted to say something that women don’t say often enough to each other. But first, I want to tell you that I am married and have kids. I am a normal woman not some weirdo. You have the greatest shaped butt I have ever seen. When I looked over this way I saw you and thought, ‘Wow, she has something going on in that trunk!’ So I had to come over and tell you that you have it going on in that butt of yours. It is absolutely beautiful!”
Then she pulled up her hospital uniform in the back and said “And look at mine, I just have this weenie butt with no shape at all. So I just had to share my thoughts with you because we women never tell each other things like this. We usually just walk by being jealous of each other.”
At first, I was shocked, then, started laughing so hard. I thanked her for her observation and then told her that I was actually at the store to purchase foods to decrease this butt of mine. How funny is that! I said “I have had to buy bigger jeans due to not being able to get my old ones over this round curvy butt.” Then we laughed together and she went on her way.
Now for the Perspective Differences:
My Perspective
Prior to this, I had never experienced weight gain issues due to a good metabolism, eating pretty well and not eating sweets. My philosophy has always been that I eat to live not live to eat. So I was very unhappy the day I decided to purchase new jeans because of my weight gain. I had been putting it off hoping to drop some weight but it didn’t happen. It got to the point that the jeans I was wearing were so tight I couldn’t bend to sit down! I was so uncomfortable and unhappy about this every day.
In addition, my underwear didn’t fit anymore either. So I had to buy new ones. And this is not an easy task for people with voluptuous butts let me tell you! I think most women’s underwear are made for people without butts because mine never stay put, they always ride up over my round cheeks. It is exhausting always tugging them back into place. I even tried the thong panties but to me they are like giving myself a snuggie from the start – highly uncomfortable – at least for me with round cheeks. So now I own a LOT of underwear that don’t stay put. I even thought of not wearing any undies at all… maybe I’ll try that next.
I also focused my point of attraction on my entire wardrobe of beautiful clothes that I could not wear due to my weight gain. The bottom line was none of my pants went over my butt so I had to buy new jeans to have something to wear. I even called my friend Arlene when I got home from shopping and shared my dismay with her about my new larger jeans. I told her that this was a new day in the history of my life, one I was truly not happy about. She said “CJ it’ll be fine, don’t worry about it.” Ya, sure ‘ya betcha!
Every time I looked in the mirror I sighed with disappointment in myself for gaining weight. I even started to blame my husband Taner for continually trying to stick food in my mouth that I never eat. He eats some foods I chose to eliminate years ago from my diet such as white sugar and fried foods. In his country of Turkey, it is a kindness to share food with others.
Then one morning I decided to change my perspective knowing I was getting more of what I did not want by focusing on it. I finally took responsibility for my weight gain and started the work of loving myself again. Every morning I looked in the mirror naked and said, “Connie, I love and approve of you and every inch of this body, cellulite and all. You are a beautiful loving woman.” Then throughout the day every time I passed by a mirror I would say the same thing. This exercise is taken from Louise Hay’s book ‘You Can Heal Your Life.’ She teaches us to truly love ourselves, setting the example for others to love us. This is the first step to aligning with our inner beings. So over time I began accepting my weight gain and simply loving myself. Day by day I felt my vibrational energy shifting in the right direction. Simply put, I felt better about myself by practicing better thoughts and a new perspective.
My Husbands Perspective
Taner loves my butt! He thought I was too thin before and felt like he was going to break my bones when he hugged me. So he doesn’t want me to lose weight at all. In fact, he walks by me daily, grabs my buttocks and says “Here is my beautiful lady, I love this butt!” So I can’t be mad at my husband who loves me from the inside out, now can I?
Law of Attraction Perspective (LOA)
Loving ourselves and others is the foundational key to aligning with our inner being. When we practice this consistently our lives are joyful and optimistic with our desires manifesting more easily. In addition, we are more capable of allowing others to live their own experiences without our negative input. Love also releases us to live the life of freedom that is the basic tenant of our being as Abraham states. Then we flow with the universe creating incredible things!
A visual example of this would be turning on a garden hose full force then bending it in half. This stops the flow of water (goodness) from one end while the water pressure (frustration) builds up on the other end. Sound familiar? Then when we choose to let go of the hose the water slowly flows again making its way through the kinks until it is free flowing.
In closing, we each have the freedom to choose or change our perspective AKA point of attraction for each situation in our lives as I did about my beliefs of food which led to weight gain. In fact, if I would have practiced love, allowing my husband to be who he is, instead of resisting & trying to control the situation I wouldn’t have gained weight in the first place.
I did not tend to my vibrational alignment by paying attention to my negative feelings early on. So if you have an area that doesn’t feel good to you perhaps you could choose to practice a new perspective rather than the one you have been practicing that makes you feel bad.
I can tell you from experience your energy and circumstances will shift because the LOA is a universal law that attracts like to like. Then you will feel good again releasing the flow of goodness in your life…and so it is.
