Here's how to shake up the crystal ball

“You want to get in shape, eat better, and change your life but you really don't see it happening. Here's how to shake up the crystal ball.”

In the movie Field of Dreams, the saying goes, "Build it and they will come." Really, at first they didn't need to build it, they just had to visualize it, and then they made it happen. Seeing yourself in a better place, in a different body, and being a different person can all happen. No - visualizing yourself as Angelina Jolie and being married to Brad is not going to happen, however, visualizing yourself as a thinner, healthier, confident, and happy person can. You have the power to change yourself. How often do we let other people conform who we are? Many times they are people who don't know us at all. Comments made about weight, looks, demeanor, style, etc. play into how we view ourselves. Why? If we just start listening to ourselves (granted we need to be having a positive perspective...which we can control), we can be who we want to be and get the things in life we want. Figure out who you are, who you want to be, and work toward becoming that person. Just like exercising and eating right, you can also work on your confidence, brush up on optimism, and start practicing the role for the real woman you can see yourself being. Before you know it, you won't be practicing, but living the role.
