There are four substitutes for happiness. They are Greed, Food, Sex and Spirituality. When our emotions and/or our mind becomes under the control of forces outside of us, or under the influence of stinkin thinkin inside of us, our body goes to pack. You can change your body at the gym or eat yourself into bean pole status, but if you want health, longevity and energy you'd better listen up. Bad body - unhealthy body - means - crappy thinkin, unhealthy emotions - crappy living. We've got to understand, that body is the victim of stupid management not anything else. So, you want to get good body, hero? Then here's three steps the Spiritual Pitbull says, always works.
1/ Let go
Subsitutes - greed, sex, food or spirituality are good short term fixes for unhappiness. But they just kill us in the end, instead of the unhappiness. So, step one - stop substituting. Let go of the idea that some cake, sex, job or spiritual class is going to fix your unhappiness. Bull Dust, that's what it is. Substitutes are just good bandaides but if you need stitches under the bandaide and you leave the bandaide on, you gunna die of toxicimia. So, peel off the bandaide and come join the real world where the rest of us live where we are sometimes unhappy and sometimes happy. Stop beating yourself up for being unhappy sometimes. You have to be happy about being unhappy. If you are happy about being unhappy, then unhappy with make you happy. The idea is to let go of the false props that are killing you and just get used to the idea that sometimes unhappy is ok. You just don't need to project it onto others.
2/ Hold on
Hold onto these facts: you are not your feelings. You may feel unhappy, but that's not you, that's how you feel. That's not you. So you can look after the unhappy you, not by changing it, but by looking after it. Don't throw it into a party or some meal in order to turn it around. Leave it, caress it, say, "Hi mini me, hope you ok" nice huh? Hold onto the fact that if they stripped your arms and legs and head and bum and all the bits away, you'd still be you, just less mobile in a worldly sense. (maybe a ghost or spooky one) - Hold onto love for people, not them. Hold onto love for nature and friends and family, but not them. They are not their bodies either so, don't hold onto their body, hold onto your love for them.
3/ Get happy.
Now we need some honesty. Unhappy people are unhealthy people. You might argue about someone you know who was so happy and successful who got a sickness. I would say "Impossible" nature only destroys those things that are not on purpose. Let's suggest that if you are not healthy, then its because you are not happy, not the other way around. The spiritual pitbull suggests you stop substituting sex, food, greed and spirituality for the real happiness you deserve, and stop. Let it in, let love and sunshine and clouds, and flowers and trees and birds and all the sounds of life in. And simply be thankful.
If you still need some support ask me direct. If i can't answer your question you may be best to book a personal consultation with me. That consultation session lasts around half a day online or in person. We charge as little as possible for these support consultations around US$1200 per half day. We do offer to subsidize the where financial means are limited. Link here for the form.
