5.5 Miles Later...

...I felt calm, peaceful, strong & gorgeous. I was nothing short of completely sweaty from head to toe and my feet were throbbing.

I hadn't run over 3 miles in over a year but I had set my mind to it Friday and made it happen. Running has become like meditation for me. Thoughts flow in and out and I begin to better understand the essence of life on a new level.

One thought that keeps coming to me is this: people replace 200,000,000,000 cells per day. Yes, that's billion. Basically, your entire body is replaced every 7 years and most of it is replaced in the first year. Every 4 months, some of your major organs are completely replaced (on a cellular level). But cells are all that we have/all that we are made up of. So what does this mean?

This means that our outward appearance and the way we feel inside is almost completely governed by out mind. Stretch marks? Wrinkles? What else... cellulite...can all be dissolved if we no longer BELIEVE they are there. Yes, there is scientific data behind WHY stretch marks, wrinkles & cellulite exist, however, the first thing you have to do is change the belief that they are there in the first place. Right, because EVERYTHING that exists once had to be imagined, right? Come along, now, shall we play a little make believe?

Imagine what it looks like when it's totally gone...what does it look like to have perfect skin, a gorgeous, tight butt and phenomenal legs? Can't imagine it on yourself? Put you in your perfect body (in your mind's eye) and check you out. Damn...

My friend said to me the other day, "My life is so stuck." And I told her to start eating raw foods, cut the crap out of her diet and start complimenting everyone she knows. She told me that maybe when she found another job & things got better she would try it. The point is that if you don't TRY to shift something and dis-guard it as something that "just won't work", it NEVER will work for you.
