\n\t\"lineIn my last blog post, Sleep Time is Realignment-of-Energies Time<\/a>, I talked about one of my most effective strategies <\/strong>I use to keep my energy aligned so that I am able to stay consistent with what I want to attract to me.  <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother strategy I use that I again borrow from Abraham-Hicks is the Upstream Downstream process.  It's quite simple, and you're going to love it! <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe way it works is any time you have a thought that is resistant to what you want, consider yourself going upstream, but when you reverse the thought and can get to a better-feeling feeling, you’re turning your oar in the stream in the opposite<\/em> direction and you start going downstream, which is exactly what you want because then you are no longer resisting that which you desire and it can easily flow to you.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRemember, everything you want is really two subjects: Wanting it and not wanting it, or resisting it.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLet’s use weight as an example, because this is such a big topic for so many people, and what I teach.  Weight loss is multi-faceted no doubt, but just a change in your vibration<\/strong> can make all the difference when it comes to weight loss.  <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHow many times have you had thoughts like, “I look so fat,” or, “I’m afraid to try my clothes on because they might not fit,“ or, “I don’t want to look in the mirror because I’m so ashamed and embarrassed by how I look?”\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf you’re like most people, you’re answer would most likely be often.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen working with a client on weight loss<\/a>, their thinking is the first place we go, because it’s much less about the food itself but more so their feelings<\/em> that matter most.<\/span><\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tNow, the first thing you need to do here is become aware of what thoughts you’re having about food, your body, your weight, and your image.  Because once you do, you're much more cognizant of what you're saying to yourself<\/strong> when you're eating, getting dressed, or just moving about, and that's very important because that's what needs to shift in order for weight loss to occur.  <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t[bctt tweet=”If you take action before you line your energy up, you won’t see results,”] no matter how hard you work out or diet.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSo when you have a thought such as, “I look so fat,” it’s ok if you keep going upstream for a minute or so because you’re used to doing that, and you might follow that thought up with another like thought like, “<\/strong>I have no willpower,” “I’m a weakling when it comes to food,” or 'I’m so ashamed of myself.”\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBut what you want to start doing once you get all those resistant thoughts out is begin to move in the opposite direction, which would look something like this:\n<\/p>\n
