How Acceptance And Appreciation Can Help You Lose Weight

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Wannabe Beauty Queen.

Beauty Queen: I have some questions about health and beauty which I’d love some help with.

I’ve had a deep and very upsetting problem with my weight that I just can’t seem to crack, and I’d like to know how I can permanently lose weight, keep it off, and also build muscle and tone. I’ve tried many, many things over the years, but seeing as I’m writing you, nothing’s worked.

Council: It’s because you do not accept who you are. And so now your weight is bothering you, and we can tell you until you learn to appreciate yourself and others who are overweight or have other features that are unpleasant to you, you’ll stay on this merry-go-round.

And so we’d say first, what you wanted to learn was acceptance, to love yourself no matter what you look like or what you experience. That’s very important for you. When you can start appreciating something that’s good about your weight, something that you can focus on and be grateful for, your weight will begin to change.

So any physical problem that’s coming up for you, you have created because you wanted to experience learning acceptance, accepting yourself, and accepting those around you.

Beauty Queen: What’s behind my weight problem and how do I resolve it? I’d very much love the key to remedying it.

Council: There’s the word. You very much love. Yes, and you’re very much in a place where you have to learn to love yourself the way you are now and then show that love to others who are perhaps not exactly what are considered beauty queens. And so it’s all about acceptance. It’s a big lesson for you.

Beauty Queen: These days my hair also seems to grow slowly…

Council: Oh, another problem.

Beauty Queen: …and break at a certain length. It’s also very dry. Why is this?

Council: You are not happy with your hair. And so the more unhappy you are about it and the more you focus on this problem, it will stay that way, and it can even get worse. That’s how powerful you are. What can you find about your hair that you like and appreciate about it? Look at your hair differently. Try to find something good in each situation.

Beauty Queen: Again, I’ve tried things to no avail, but I’d really love waist-length healthy-looking hair. Also is it true I can make my hair grow straight even though it’s curly? How do I go about doing this and how long would it take me?

Council: Appreciate what you have and then focus, focus, focus. Anything you are determined about and anything that you love can change and can bend with time into the way you’d like it to be. We don’t feel you are ready at this time to believe you can do this so we would say for now to go with appreciation.

Beauty Queen: I also used to have a thing where people used to tell me all the time how young I looked for my age.

Council: Oh, another problem.

Beauty Queen: What do I have to do to naturally look much younger than my years again?

Council: Love yourself. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you love yourself. Find as many parts of yourself that you appreciate.

Beauty Queen: What did I have then, and how do I get it back?

Council: With your focus, with your mind, with your visualizations, and with your feelings. Feel good about yourself. Feel beautiful. Feel that you are special and that you are here to learn how to change everything into what you would like it to be, not because you don’t like it, but because you see it, and in it you’ve found something to appreciate and now you want to make it even better.

Beauty Queen: How do I be the one who naturally defies aging?

Council: Oh, that’s a good question. Do you feel like you don’t want to age? Then you know what that means. You will leave the planet and you’ll transition back into spirit. As long as you are in your human body you will age. And again for you, appreciate each age that you get to, everything you experience, what it was like ten years ago, what it’s like now, what you want it to be ten years in your future, and accept who you are. But if you want to not age, if you want to defy that and live forever, we feel at one point you could do that, but not now. And so if you don’t want to age, we’d say be careful what you think because that will help you transition over to spirit.

And so once again these are lovely questions. And we send everyone loving energy, and support from the spirit world to love yourself and to learn how to walk down that path, and be kind to each other.

How Can I Help My Daughter Feel More Confident?

This post answers question for The Council from a reader named, Mel, who asks the best way to help her daughter feel more confident and boost her self-esteem. Mel wonders if her daughter’s past lives are preventing her from seeing the wonderful, smart, amazing woman she is?

The Council says Mel’s daughter needs to feel accepted. Do you compliment her often? Do you point out all the wonderful things she does? Right now your daughter’s confidence comes from you. When she gets enough of this and she believes it and accepts it, she’ll have more and more confidence in herself and won’t need the acceptance from outside herself. She wanted to learn appreciation for herself in her current life.

In your daughter’s last lifetime she worked as a servant and did what needed to be done. There wasn’t any excitement for her in that life and she didn’t have any goals. In her current life your daughter wanted the experience of feeling confident, and when she feels this way she’d allow herself to experience desires of different things she wants. We ask you to allow your daughter to be who she is, but also to fan the flame of her feeling good about herself.

Mel says maybe the interactions my daughter and I had in our past lives have prevented her in some way from healing her lack of confidence in her current life. The Council reminds Mel that the confidence your daughter is working on in her current reality comes from her last lifetime where there wasn’t any confidence, no dream, and no hope.

Mel asks if her daughter’s being overweight is a result of past lifetimes. The Council says the desire to lose weight isn’t a problem from past lives. This is something your daughter created to accept, and once it’s accepted and your daughter feels good about herself, the extra weight will disappear when the time is right and when your daughter learns what she wanted to experience.

The Council says if there’s a problem with being overweight, is it in your eyes or your daughter’s? Does something come up if you talk about this? Is this more negative than positive? If it is The Council advises talking more positively about weight loss. The fact it’s part of who your daughter is now doesn’t mean she’ll always be this way. Being overweight is one more thing your daughter created to keep in front of her while she was trying to build up her confidence.

The Council reminds Mel that everything she and her daughter talk about should be positive on all subjects. When your daughter learns to be more positive and look at things more positively, her life will change for the better.

Listen to the entire 4-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Mel and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it, or ask The Council your own question.
