Before & After
“There is nothing special about me. I live a very typical Western lifestyle. There is, however, one thing that has made my life special. Several years ago, I decided to change my perspective. Instead of focusing on my limitations, I began to direct my thought to something more exciting and expansive—just to see how it would feel. I began to play a fun mental game of “Wouldn’t it be nice if . . . ?” And I filled in those blanks with uplifting and fanciful dreams.
This felt good, so I did more of it.
As I played this mental game again and again, slowly but unmistakably my way of thinking began to change. And as I changed mentally, the external, visible part of me also began to change. The potency of the mind-body connection revealed itself. Not only did I lose weight and gain muscle, I became peaceful. I projected an aura of energy and happiness. I changed so much that people noticed and began to ask me how they could improve their own appearance and find a measure of inner peace without sacrificing the things they loved. They wanted to know how they could look better, feel better, and perform better at whatever they chose to do. I understood that beneath their desire for physical health lay a desire for mental and spiritual health as well. Many of them longed to release themselves from the negative habits of thought that were affecting their bodies, constricting them in their clothes, and making them feel encased and trapped, a daily reminder that they unconsciously accepted limitation instead of insisting on the freedom that would allow them to really thrive.
When I saw the positive impact that I had on people’s lives, I decided that I wanted to share what I have learned with as many people as possible. So I decided to write a book, Stress Less, Weigh Less. It’s my hope that the lessons I have learned can help you transform your body and your mind. You’ve taken the first step toward a new, invigorated life. The rest is easy. Just follow me.”
