Learning how to effectively communicate with our ENTIRE BODY is a subjective art form, since everybody is different. But there are some basics. And it is to be noted that your body only submits to its master. And until each one of us can show our bodies that our actions, words, and intentions are all under our command, it remains it's own master.
It's like a Pokemon that is to high of a level for its trainer to command it, so it just ignores your commands..
Our bodies are mosaics of billions of individual cells. Each one of the cells is an equally independent AND interdependent life form.
Consciousness arises from interconnection. We identify ourselves as individual consciousness due to the effective systems of communication our bodies have devised on behalf of the numerous life forms that compose our bodies.
These methods of communication include hormones and other biochemical messengers, the Central Nervous System, and, perhaps one of the most overlooked methods; personal affirmations.
What we think about our bodies and what we tell ourselves in the mirror must be taken as seriously as giving your body DIRECT ORDERS.
If you offer yourself only scathing criticism when in front of the mirror, you are effectively dismissing the wonderful and accumulative work all these billions of life forms that make up our body have been working almost exclusively and nonstop on and for...way to be a dick...
Your reward for being so self deprecating is self evidently low self esteem. Low self esteem often triggers risky behavior, temporary and long term health conditions, and the overwhelming feelings of depression and disconnection.
It's not that you should not be hard on yourself...just be a fair and balanced critic. Highlight your assets, identify your areas of improvement, then hone into the instinctual desire for personal growth.
But the relationship your body has to affirmations is intrinsically different than the relationships it has with its biological and biochemical systems of communication:
Biochemical messengers like hormones and endorphins, along with biological systems like the Central Nervous System (...effectively THOUGHTS) are BOTH CAUSALLY RELATED.
This means that, for its effects to take hold, either method of communication must FIRST ACT UPON THE BODY, THEN, WAIT UNTIL THE BODY RESPONDS FOR ITS' INTENT TO BE REALIZED.
Testosterone is released AND THEN felt.
Causal means related to cause and effect.
AFFIRMATIONS, HOWEVER, ARE NOT CAUSAL.
At ANY GIVEN TIME you can affirm something positive about yourself....despite whether or not it is ACTUALLY TRUE YET.
Affirmation can be done before AND/OR after the intent has been manifested in the body with EQUAL EFFECT... Think "chicken or the egg." Except who cares, this is your brain on drugs...ya dig?
So...if you are FAT tell yourself how much weight you are loosing infront of the mirror.
If you are UGLY tell yourself how much more attractive you are becoming.
If you are POOR tell yourself how wealthy you are already.
If you are AFRAID tell yourself how courageous you are being.
If you are SICK tell yourself how quickly you are healing yourself.
NOTICE that the above examples are all articulated in a PRESENT and ONGOING way.
That's how our bodies work...more like when our bodies work...in THE PRESENT...they have to...you have to breathe constantly. You have to perpetually be digesting. Your heart must always be beating.
Tell yourself positive affirmations out loud AND internally anytime you lock eyes with yourself in a mirror. Our eyes are our seat of power...through them, we command the human body(s) with our will and intent. Do it to yourself.
Heal yourself by making your body obey you.
