Scale the World Prep part 2 of 3

The Black writing is the 2nd Prep email that I have received from Scale the World and I will make some comments in different colours through out it.

Are you getting prepared? Yes I have stuck to my points and eaten better the past few days......... I'm happy about that........

Do you have your gear checked, your mind ready, and your adrenaline flowing? Yes I am ready....... How is your food supply? It is good and I am prepared.........What did you eat and drink yesterday and today?

Lesson number one for today is this:

Do not beat yourself up. Yes I do a lot of this and know that I have to stop but have problems doing this mainly cause I've been doing it to myself for so long I don't know how to stop.

Let me be honest -- that round mountain is a heck of a climb. You know it, I know it, and everyone who is already up there and waiting for you knows it.

Those who have backslid and are now having to scale it again with a few injuries know it.

But, that's okay. Really.

The key is to not beat yourself up any more than the climb itself. That alone is enough to endure. Hey, it's fun, but it's tough -- so don't feel the need to make it harder by weakening the only person making the journey.

This journey is not going to be an easy one for me but one I need to do. It will probably be one step forward and then one back but as long as I keep going then I will be OK and conquer it.

You simply must stop harming our number one climber -- you. We need "you" for this endeavor. Having a depressed, nay-saying you will do us little good. We need a you that's willing to forgive.

That's right -- I'm asking you to forgive yourself. Right now. Forgive your body for doing what your mind has asked it to do, or perhaps what your genes have told it to do. It's only trying to follow through. I forgive my body for doing what my mind has asked it to do.

Often times this means storing more fat. Many times, as you'll see when "Scale The World" starts in 2 days, YOU are the one telling it to store fat. That's not really what you want to do, now is it? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it is not what I really want...........

Sometimes it's your genes, and they may need some help from the power of your mind to "re-program" a bit. Don't worry --we'll cover how to do this in due time.

For now, all I want you to do is say this...oddly enough, to your own body:

"Thank you for taking me this far. I realize you are only doing what you're told by my mind and my genes, and I'm dedicated to learning what's really best for you in both areas. Let's work together from today on and scale this world as one." These are great words and yes I did read them to my body....... For me losing weight is not just about what I eat and then doing some exercise. Its about why I sabotage myself with food, negative thoughts & actions, not exercising and a lot of this is my mind telling my body to do the opposite of what it should be doing.

Sound silly?

Try it.

Forgiveness is massive. The sheer energy that fear, hate and anger generate is astounding, and that energy is like a huge magnet "pulling you down to earth."

Our goal is to climb above what we think our limitations are...to scale our own world. A larger world than we imagine.

A greater world than we have dreamed.

We cannot have this excess weight, so please -- cut it loose, right now.

While you're at it, see what other excess weight you can cut loose before we start our ascent.

See who else you can forgive.

Take this to the bank -- the journey to excellence begins with a clean mind, and forgiveness is the eternal cleanser.

Drink that water, eat that clean, simple food, and get set...

= = Your Adventure Begins in 2 Days = =

I know that I need to change a lot of aspects of my life and one are of that is my lack of self confidence and esteem. Whilst a lot of what is said above may sound a little over the top or corny I do need to work out why I sabotage myself or let others sabotage my efforts.
