2 The Burn Fat For Life Essentials Interactive Guide The 3 elements of inner peace for lasting enrichment Are you ready for your personal revolution? Of course we re talking about a nonviolent revolution within. :) You re likely reading this because you want to resolve your weight loss distress and various inner struggles, including having stressful thoughts and emotions, which have been so difficult to deal with effectively. Maybe you ve been stuck on a sub optimal plateau, not attaining the results you want. Or perhaps you re at wit s end with your weight loss struggles. Yo yo dieting, exercising harder, and even counting calories have just led you to throwing your hands up and giving up. What s the point of trying when it seems like nothing works? Basically, you re tired of not having your hopes fulfilled. Amidst these overwhelming aspects of your life, we re guessing that you re also really tired of dealing with your inner critic, which can make happiness seem fanciful, even impossible! Well, you ve finally come to a place where you can resolve all these things for a lifetime. This means you re really ready to take time in for yourself, which means embarking on a healing journey, a voyage into yourself that you might not have begun, though at times might have wondered about wondered about the possibilities of inner peace and personal fulfillment. Going contrary to the majority of mainstream diet and exercise plans, the keys that enable lasting lifestyle changes are within yourself. They involve an increase in the quality of your inner relationship. They consist of the following three psychological practices, each of which delves into your mind and heart for true self healing to happen: 1 The Burn Fat For Life Essentials Interactive Guide

3 1. Self acceptance 2. Self empathy 3. Self compassion These three keys are self regulating and self sustaining psychological practices, meaning you yourself will learn to generate the vitality you need, in order to achieve the things you really want for yourself, both mentally and physically. Indeed, these keys enable you to unlock your true potential, no matter what s been going on in your life or how difficult it s been for you to break costly past patterns. Fortunately, these three practices can be learned in a few weeks and then experienced for a lifetime of success in health and well being. Essentially, they ll help provide the integration you need to live a happy life, which is your birthright. Of course, as you might suspect, we face some major challenges here, since not only have we not been taught these psychological practices, but we also have mostly been taught and shown their opposites: self rejection; self denial; self criticism; self shaming; and, self blaming. These opposites, by their wounded nature, lead us to sabotaging our best intentions and efforts. Undoubtedly, the various traumas we experienced in childhood tend to manifest in these opposites. And tragically, to be in opposition to ourselves in various ways tends to be largely normalized in our culture. Hence, most people take it for granted. It doesn t have to be this way. Of course, these challenges we face aren t easy to overcome. However, you can build in self esteem as you move forward. You can rise above the status quo and learn another way an enriching, non costly way that provides true, inner comfort and ease. This is about discovering your capabilities of healing and growing, and we re here to help you with this process by covering the psychological essentials to inner well being and resourcefulness. 2 The Burn Fat For Life Essentials Interactive Guide

4 Self acceptance is alignment with your inner reality. Acceptance of yourself means coming to honest terms with what s going on inside you how you are relating to yourself, to others, and to the facts of reality. This entails emotional authenticity, instead of the typical defense mechanisms that we use to cope with aspects that are upsetting, discouraging, or stressful. You do not need to agree with or like all aspects of yourself, just as you do not need to agree with or like all facts of reality. This is about acknowledging them as realities, instead of trying to make them unrealities. Sentence completion exercises are a helpful way to access your subconscious mind, by offering an open ended space to reveal what s on your mind and in your heart. Below are three sentence stems that we invite you to complete by writing six grammatical endings for each one. Write whatever comes immediately to mind, in order to avoid self censorship. The following three stems can enable you to attune to the practice of self acceptance: If I were to acknowledge the reality of what I ve been experiencing One of the challenging things about self acceptance presently, is As I begin to accept all aspects of myself... 3 The Burn Fat For Life Essentials Interactive Guide

5 Self empathy is one step further into yourself than self acceptance. Once you ve recognized where you are internally, or what s alive in you, you can then begin to come to empathetic terms with these experiences. Empathy directed into yourself means noticing and honoring what s going on emotionally, and mentally in general. Seldom is it recognized in our culture that self empathy is just as vital for human well being and flourishing as empathy. Self empathy is just as much a need as empathy, yet it s not a common practice and, sadly, it s seldom encouraged in children. The fact that adults typically don t relate this practice to children means that adults didn t have it related to them when they were children. So, the costly cycle of not really taking time in to hear and understand one s own feelings and needs tends to continue. The following three sentence completion exercises can shed light on self empathy: If I were to empathize with myself, instead of criticize When I didn t get my need for empathy met early on, I felt... If I were to learn the process of self empathy now... 4 The Burn Fat For Life Essentials Interactive Guide

6 Self compassion is a type of self empathy that directly addresses the facets of suffering you ve experienced, and are experiencing, within yourself. It brings relief, nurturing, and love to unprocessed pain, sadness, fear, confusion, and stress. For instance, instead of self medicating with an external substance (for instance, any legal or illegal drug of choice, including foods), you can take time in to compassionately connect with your needs that haven t been getting met in the way you most want. Self compassion is about treating yourself with kindness, instead of with all the facets of self alienation and self disparagement that are so common. Here are three more stems, which deal with the nature of this most healing practice: If I were to recognize my suffering Self love to me means In order to have compassion for my inner conflicts and anguish, it might be helpful if I... 5 The Burn Fat For Life Essentials Interactive Guide

7 In completing the above stems, you ve likely gained some new, important, and nourishing insights, as well as encountered some potential stumbling blocks that have been active within yourself for quite some time. The mental essentials that we ve covered and will cover in a series of s to your inbox can enable you to achieve the following: To nourish yourself in a culture that often demands sacrifices. To live in ways that are self loving, rather than self punishing. To notice and honor your subtle thoughts, images, and feelings that reveal your inner wisdom. To ensure that your fitness regimen is truly respecting and valuing yourself, the best within you. To have the inner resourcefulness to face difficulties and challenges, rather than run (or race) from inner demons. To live for the joy of it and of accomplishing your goals. We all live with the scrooge of the status quo, the mainstream, the bland, boring, and ineffective approach to weight loss, health, and fitness. We hear it in the schools. We see it in the media. We were raised with these less than healthy, less than useful ideas. The dogma has been: Diet and exercise. There are quite a few variations on this theme Just burn off those calories, and you ll be fine. Or, Eat fewer calories and you ll lose weight and watch your fat intake! Or, Get in a caloric deficit by exercising. These dogmatic fallacies don t need to own us. They don t need to dictate our success in the realm of our physical well being. They don t need to keep us from having a healthy body, and a happy mind. So, it s time to shut them out. Shut out the repetitive voices. Shut out the unhelpful messages from the past. And shut off our TVs. 6 The Burn Fat For Life Essentials Interactive Guide
