The Most Powerful 2015 New Year's Resolution.

Make this new year's resolution: "I will not doubt my inner sense of truth. "

Your intuition is more powerful than manipulative emotions because it connects with the truth. Emotions connect with what you wish was true, while intuition keeps you in touch with what is real. That's why you can feel deeply emotional around food and 'know intuitively' not to eat it. Intuitive tools, like determination, courage and dignity, protect and guide you away from self-defeating emotional eating.

Hunger is a physical reality. Binging is an emotional trap that treats your body like a second-class citizen. Ending emotional traps is intuitive. Intuition works with your body. When you use it to make eating choices, you tune in to self-respect and physical needs. Intuitive eating creates a safety zone of balance.

Use these questions to 'hear' your intuitive inner voice, your inner sense of truth.

• Does eating this leave me feeling physically comfortable, satisfied and healthy?
• If the answer is yes, then focus on comfort, satisfaction and health while you eat. These are intuitive.
• You can feel when you've had enough by working with your body. 
• Intuition balances what you think and what you want, with what you know and how you feel. Your inner intuitive voice filters out the truth.
• Why am I eating this? 
• Be honest with yourself about trusting your intuition. 
• The fact is, intuition is always protective. If a choice doesn't feel 'right', it's not your intuition; it's emotional manipulation.
• It's powerful to take control of self-defeating emotions, but it's not hard. Things that are wrong, crumble easily.
• Learn  to feel dignity in your heart and respond to that feeling.
• Take control this year by being courageous. 
• You are stronger than anger or disappointment. You are stronger than sadness. 
• Give yourself a space to be determined. Go for a short walk to cool off. Reset your perspective by noticing what you sense. Remember, the only reason to eat is because you are physically hungry.
• What do I really want? 
• If this is confusing, then write down what you really want and put the piece of paper where you can look at it any time.
  • Adopt an attitude of self-respect with determination and stick with it. Get what you want this year. It's time! 
• Comfort, satisfaction and health create quality of life. Eat less, chew more. Tune in  to intuitive attitudes to feel your intuition. Even if you've ignored it your whole life, you have it. 

Remember to focus on comfort, satisfaction, and health when you eat. Use determination and self-respect to follow through with what feels 'right' Be dignified and you will stay in control. Every morning when you wake up say, "I will not doubt my inner sense of truth. " You will be a different person in 12 months!

Get Physical.

Get physical at mealtime. 

Intuitive eating is physical.

Being physical when we eat means connecting with what we sense and what we feel.  

The feeling we all look for is happiness. Happiness isn't complicated. Sharing a smile, a song or eye contact keeps energy of happiness bouncing around us. The intuitive way to feel this is by being grateful. Being grateful is how to feed your heart. Gratitude, importantly, reduces the risk of emotional eating.

• Be grateful before you put any food into your mouth.  Feed your heart first by remembering that you are not homeless, at war, or ill. 
• Feed your heart by being thankful for the chance to be thankful.

Then, turn your brain off.  Eating is not intellectual.

Whenever possible, take pleasure in the food you eat. Intuitive eating is a spontaneous physical response to the moment. How do we trust being spontaneous when so much hinges on our responses? 

• Eat with an attitude of dignity and comfort. Make this attitude your priority at mealtime.

Respond to eating with your 5 physical senses. As a result, you will enhance automatic intuitive nudges.  When food is in front of you, before you eat, be grateful for food on your plate, and then:

• Tune in with your senses. Think with your senses when you eat. Respond to what you notice and how you feel.

• See what you are eating . 
•  Notice portion size. Do not eat any serving bigger than your fist. 

• Connect with your body. 
• When yo enjoy food, digestive enzymes are more efficient and more calories are burned. 
• Eat only up to your physical comfort level. Stop when you feel good, which is before you feel full.

• Listen to your thighs, your gut and your heart and you will eat wisely. Ignore your head. 
• Eating is physical. It's like putting gas in the car. 
• It doesn't matter what's playing on the radio inside the car. The goal is to fill the tank with gas for power.
• Your head does not know what you need to eat; only your body does.
• Don't overload your body or put in the wrong fuel. 

• Chew more, taste more, talk more and you will eat less. 

Being physical by being grateful, using your senses more and connecting with your body, will reveal insights about your heart. Being intuitive connects with feelings of self-respect and pleasure. Give yourself every opportunity to be the best you.

It is only possible to live happily ever after on a day to day basis. – Margaret Bonnan

Eat less; taste more.

Stop struggling with your body to lose weight.  Why not love yourself, eat less and taste more instead? It's much easier.

Taste is personal and so is our body. Our bodies are designed to be part of a flow. Just like our hearts, internally everything has a rhythm. Ignoring who we are inside doesn't change it. It's easier to identify with who we are and then be good to ourselves.

Starving, binging and overly ambitious self-discipline are all hostile to our body. When we do these to our selves, instinctively our body feels physically threatened. This releases a protective hormone that signals our system to grab a layer of fat for survival.  It may sound crazy, but that's what happens.

From a sensual intuitive perspective, the point of eating is pleasure and satisfaction.

Eating for pleasure is all about taste. Besides enjoying that moment when the perfect taste of your choice explodes on your tongue, taste includes sharing that sensual experience. We are all sensual beings. Eating is a perfect time to let that part of us shine. Find someone whose tastes match yours and split your favorite meal. If you're really close, feed each other. Be sure to include eye contact because this makes the taste experience even more amazing.

The kind of satisfaction our body gets from eating is finding more energy, physical comfort and good health. None of these can be forced. Instead, eat less and taste more. When we really taste our food, it takes less food for us to feel satisfied.

Be kind to you. Decide to give yourself the chance to lose weight naturally by enjoying food more! While your body is personal it is also an efficient, independent machine with systems, connections and it's own way of keeping you alive. Work with yourself and watch the results!
