What we think and how we feel often dictates what we eat, if we should eat and when we should eat.
This may lead us to console our emotions with that go-to comfort food. We may not really want or need it, but the temporary distraction, comfort or self-soothing it provides is a mighty big draw card to make us feel better in that moment.

How can we change our habits when we’ve been unconsciously performing them for years, or even decades?
It’s actually a lot easier than you think when you first understand the basic premise of “Habit Loops” in the brain.
In his New York Times bestseller “The Power of Habit”, Charles Duhigg introduced a concept called The Habit Loop. This habit loop consists of a Cue, a Routine, and a Reward and it develops over time through repetition and memory, becoming an unconscious loop in the brain.

Intention is not simply wanting something; it is feeling into something. It is action-oriented; purposeful action.
You can want an object on the other side of the room, a new job, or a different relationship BUT, if you do not put purposeful action or feeling toward the intended outcome, then it will simply not happen.
In order to begin manifesting something the best place to start is by using your intention. Also, throw out the verbiage of ‘want’ (which is passive) and replace it with requirement. For example: “I require A, B, C or X, Y Z in my life“… and then begin purposeful action.

“Don’t carry too much weight!”, “Be careful at the gym!”, “it took very long to get better after I got that”, or, the worst of the worst: “Your pain might be chronic”.

I love the teachings of the late teachers, Louise Hay and Dr Wayne Dyer, who both often talked about the significance of the words “I AM” and how we use them.
When I’m teaching my clients or students about the subconscious mind and conditioned thinking, I emphasise the importance of how much power these two little words can have over our entire wellbeing.
