Our emotional state, and what we have our thoughts of where we are and who we are, creates a literal ball and chain that we are dragging around. If you can just cut that ball and let it go. Let that thought go and stop thinking of yourself as, “I am this” or “I am that”. Then you can start to release physical baggage, along with the emotional stuff that you're holding on to

We don't necessarily know what comes first the chicken or the egg. Sometimes it's the emotion that causes physical strain. Sometimes it's the physical side that causes the emotional strain. When we look at a pile of crap on the floor that's been laying there for three months, somebody else coming into our home, sees a pile of stuff. They can just pick it up and put it away and it's like, “Wow, why did you do that?”. The reason I can't physically put this stuff away is because it's not just physical for me, it is an emotional connection.

Whatever the emotion is, it is causing a physical blockage, a physical consequence, simply based on our emotions, and one of the things that I suppose that we can do to help ourselves overcome that is to pay attention to the natural flow of energy in our house. What do you naturally do? Where do you naturally put things? Where do you naturally look for something? When you're looking for it? What do your kids naturally do when they come home? If you are putting your physical things in, in a specific order that does not complement this natural flow of energy, you're going to start butting heads between physical structure and emotional well-being.

We do that with our bodies too. If you want to start working out and you're not naturally a dance person, don't go to a dance fitness class. If you're more of an aggressive person, maybe a kickboxing class is more your deal. Go with the flow of what feels right for you in the moment. Clear that emotion and change that thought process to a more positive one.

Emotions are crazy. They are crazy. We've talked about before, on one of the very first episodes we ever did, about the power of emotions. 95% of all actions are emotion based.

How can you shift a negative thought to a positive? Once you shift it to a positive, you can deal with it, you can cope with it, and you can say, “I'm going to shift it and I'm going to move on and move forward”.

Be a hero or be a victim. Right? You can either be the victim, “things never go right for me”. Or you can shift it and say, “I am a bigger girl, and therefore I am strong, and I am powerful. And I don't need a diet. I'm just going to learn how to fuel my body”. I'm going to be the hero and I'm going to save myself from this.

Take back the power and be the power in your own situation.

Stop looking for answers on Pinterest, because that's not your house. That's not your situation. The flow of energy is different, find what works for you.
