How Can Einstein Time Affect Me?

I see so many Pilates students come and go. Many of them leave the classes because they don't get the results they want. They begin pilates classes wanting to lose weight, feel better, look great. The thinking goes something like this,  "I don't look good. I wish I looked like someone else."

Those are the kinds of people who purchase weight loss programs and gadgets continuously, and get limited results.

Let me tell you the secret answer to their problem. It has to do with the way they think about themselves. And it has to do with time.

Did you know that as you look in the mirror, as you look around - as you see the car you drive, the people that are your friends, all of those other results of your life thus far - they reflect who you were?

Einstein gave us a whole new way of looking at time. It's worth studying because it can really help you to reach your goals. Time is a concept from our mind.  Time is the way we think and process our day. Did you know that you can create time by merely clearing your mind?

In the same way, you can create a new body by imagining yourself with your perfect body. When I teach Pilates classes I always tell the women to think inside their bodies about how perfect and wonderful they are. I tell them to close their eyes and picture the body that they desire - that perfect beautiful body with maybe less weight, or more flexibility or a greater feeling of stamina.

I asked them to think of that as who they are right now, this moment. When we do this, we practice going beyond time outside of the moment and create who we are for the future. When we think of ourselves in this way, we become that now, in this moment. The form takes the shape of the thought and sooner or later, depending on our choice of thought, we become that body.

As we continue to think that way, our body will begin to come into that form which we already have created in our mind. On the other hand when we think about ourselves as fat, as weak, as unhealthy, our body will manifest those things in an ongoing basis.

That is why people who look down on themselves cannot lose weight and change their habits. The good news is you can begin to change your body now from wherever you're sitting right now.

Whether you're driving in a car or sitting in front of your computer, you begin to think about yourself as beautiful, lovely, perfect, and younger. You will become that in your own mind and then it will manifest in your body. So your work right now is fun and easy. Your work is to think about yourself as beautiful, healthy, lovely, as a person who cherishes their body.

As you choose those types of thoughts, you will notice that your behaviors will begin to change; for example how can a person who cherishes and loves their body eat four Twinkies in one sitting? That can't happen because they're thinking will not allow them to do that.

Let's talk about this idea more. how do you feel about this idea of creating your body?
