Do you ever feel tired for no logical reason?

You may feel constantly tired because you are carrying a lot of unfinished business.

Unfinished business, whats that you ask?

Unfinished business is simply all of the energy that you have put into many different goals in the past and even with all your good intentions you never actually saw the goal through to its completion.

Does this sound familiar?

Emotion is just energy in motion.

When you start to perform anything (put energy in motion) and then dont complete it, the energy actually remains trapped in the past, which means it is not 100% available in the NOW, or present moment.

The key to allowing your emotions to flow freely on a day to day basis is to establish a system of Elimination, Expression and Excess.

In this article I will be addressing the need to establish a system of Elimination.

By establishing a system of Elimination you are effectively providing an outlet to remove unnecessary clutter in your life. This can be mental, emotional, spiritual or physical clutter and often comes in the form of unfinished business. That is, tasks you have started but not finished which can often lead to toxicity, in your environment, in your living space, in your relationships, in your direction and of course, in your physical body.

Be aware that if you start something and do not finish it you are trapping energy in the past. If you do not have 100% of your energy available in the present you will not be as productive as you can possibly be. Therefore it is highly important to create a system to eliminate any unfinished business or toxins in your life.

Failure to establish a system of Elimination can lead to the symptoms of emotional dis ease in your life. Such symptoms include; toxicity, anxiety, stress, sadness, melancholy and depression.

The first week of the Activate Your Weight Loss Program is designated purely as a detoxification (or elimination) week. This system of Elimination is designed to rid your mind, body and emotions of any addictions, toxins or incomplete cycles of energy that you may have stored.

How to Eliminate Emotional Dis EASE

Use the following guidelines to provide you with an excellent system to assist you to eliminate any emotional baggage you may still be storing in your past.

1. Close off all unfinished business or incomplete cycles of action (work, finances, family, partner, friends, health and well being etc)

2. Remove Toxic thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviours from your mind simply by focusing on what you want, not on what you dont want.

3. De-Clutter and simplify your life, your house, car, garage, wardrobe, office etc. Eliminate any old energy that no longer serves you.

4. Make your life leaner and more purposeful.

5. Give every situation or coincidence its due attention, every day regardless of how small it may seem, always address every situation with the respect it deserves and at the time it arises.

6. If feeling frustrated, impatient or annoyed then ask what needs to be addressed at present. Ask your self; What is it that is causing my progression to be halted? Then ask what do I need to do in order to get my life flowing smoothly again?

Remove the Dam and the Water will Flow

By eliminating the un finished business in your life you will allow your emotions to become more positive which will make you feel a lot fresher and provide you with the necessary energy to manifest your life of EASE.

Sandra found her weight ballooning 60 pounds after her separation from her husband.While part of the weight gain was apparently tied to the medication she was taking, the rest appeared to be the result of what can be described as emotional eating.

In recent years, greater attention has been focused on the problem of emotional eating for both women and men.In fact, some experts have gone so far as to claim that most weight gain can be blamed on emotional eating.According to Women Today magazine, it has been estimated that as much as 75 percent of overeating is attributed to the emotions.

For a number of people, overeating stems from anxiety. For instance, if you find yourself consuming an entire bag of potato chips,it’s possible that anxiety is the cause.While many people realize that alcohol and illegal drugs are not an antidote to anxiety,they may not understand that indulging in comfort food in order to combat anxiety can be dangerous as well.

In other cases, overeating may be the result of depression.If you feel tired, hopeless,and have lost interest in your normal activities,you may be suffering from a depressive episode.In order to deal with these uncomfortable feelings,people may turn to food in an effort to cheer up.The problem is that the food can lead to weight gain,which can lead to further depression.

At times, overeating may be a symptom of boredom.An individual may figure that he or she has nothing better to do than overeat.This can be particularly true when one is watching television or surfing the Internet. Rather than trying to determine a cause for the boredom, an individual may just try to fix it by indulging in high-fat, high-calorie food.

How do you know if you are an emotional eater?Ask yourself some key questions: Do I tend to eat when I’m worried?Scared?Sad? Do I find that eating lifts my spirits?Am I spending more time eating than engaging in other activities I enjoy?

Do my binges come after I’ve suffered disappointment? Am I turning to food in order to deal with the death of a loved one divorced or the defeat of my favorite team?If the answers to any of these questions is yes,you may be overeating purely for emotional reasons.

After you’ve identified yourself as an emotional eater, you’ll need to take steps to correct your behavior. Perhaps the most effective technique is diversion.In other words, if you find yourself reaching for the cookie jar, find another activity to engage in.

The answer could be taking a walk, kickboxing, or dancing.Or it could be something less physically demanding, such as needlepoint or crochet.

The idea is to get your hands and perhaps the rest of your body moving.In time,you might find the urge to overeat subsides as you become involved with other activities.

Another effective step you can take is to identify the triggers for your emotional eating.Do you tend to binge in mid-morning,mid-afternoon, or right before bedtime? Are you snacking while watching television, while at the computer,or when you’re sitting in your favorite chair?

By asking yourself these questions, you can identify the time of day when you overeat, as well as the location for your binging.With this information, you can learn to re-direct your behavior to less fattening pursuits.

Yet another helpful technique is to develop a support network to help you combat overeating.The members of your support team could include your spouse,children, parents, friends, or other over-eaters.

You may even consider joining a support group which specializes in helping those who engage in binge eating. If you feel the need to overeat, contact a member of your support team.Talking through your emotions could provide you with the emotional release you need, making overeating unnecessary.

If your anxiety or depression persists, consider seeing a psychotherapist.He or she can help you develop more effective coping mechanisms.If you find it difficult to talk to friends or family about your overeating, a psychotherapist can provide you with the talk therapy you need to overcome your problem.
