as your guide, you will start to notice that
exact moment when your emotional thinking
about food changes.
The practice of paying attention to your
thoughts can be hard at first, especially if
you have been listening to the voice in your
head your entire life (and believing every
word it says). The easiest way to heighten
your awareness is to simply ask yourself
throughout the day, “What am I thinking?”

those shark-infested waters.)
To create the life and body you want, you
must do so from a place of peace, gratitude,
and happiness. You can’t fake it. If you’re
going to achieve deep and fulfilling success,
love, and abundance, you have to separate
your mind (thoughts) from your heart and
soul (your higher self). Only then will you
create peaceful behaviors around food.
