In Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a>‘s on-going series, 200 Ways to Feed Your Soul: Change Your Weight<\/em>, here she offers ‘Ways’ #61 thru #70.\u00a0\u00a0 Our Lady of Weight Loss contends that if you focus on feeding your soul, creating balance and harmony in your life, the excess weight will more or less magically disappear.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I permanently removed over 50 pounds ten (10) years ago – a full decade – by doing just that … focusing on LIFE in all its glory!\u00a0 You might want to seriously consider doing the same!\u00a0 And while you are at it, join with OLofWL and me at Hollyhock<\/a> in September for a wellness workshop that will rock your world!<\/p>\n

And now … Feed Your Soul<\/a>: Embrace Your Dysfunctional Self, Sing a Happy Song of Relief<\/strong><\/em> – Week 7\u00a0 (Weeks 1 thru 6 below)<\/p>\n

61.\u00a0\u00a0 Dream of Fields<\/strong> where there is no right-doing or wrong-doing, where your soul lies in the grass and only feelings of pleasure are to be found.<\/p>\n

62.\u00a0\u00a0 Be an Architect of Peace<\/strong>. Say no to anti-war rallies; say yes to peace marches.<\/p>\n

63.\u00a0\u00a0 See the Beauty and Wisdom<\/strong> in every object and being in the universe.<\/p>\n

64.\u00a0\u00a0 Embrace Your Dysfunctional Self,<\/strong> acknowledge your frailty, faults and flaws.\u00a0 Your soul will sing a happy song of relief.<\/p>\n

65.\u00a0\u00a0 Go to Sleep.\u00a0 <\/strong>Getting a good night\u2019s sleep can do more to lift your mood, your body, your health, your perspective; getting a good night\u2019s sleep can feed your soul far more than you might imagine!<\/p>\n

66.\u00a0\u00a0 Hum It Up.<\/strong>\u00a0 Music soothes the soul, lowers the heart rate, and music activates the same parts of the brain that food and sex activate!<\/p>\n

67.\u00a0\u00a0 Greet Your Inner Dragons with Smiles and Laughter.<\/strong>\u00a0 Say \u201chello dragon,\u201d as you smile and extend the hand of friendship.<\/p>\n

68.\u00a0\u00a0 Tune Out the News.<\/strong> Take a one-week vacation from the news, in any and all forms; from television and radio to the Internet, from newspapers to magazines.<\/p>\n

69.\u00a0\u00a0 Walk the Dog.\u00a0 <\/strong>No doubt, walking the dog relieves stress and creates an opportunity to meet and greet your dog-friendly neighbors.\u00a0 If you do not own a dog, borrow your neighbor\u2019s!\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

70.\u00a0 Breathe In Scented Air.<\/strong> \u00a0Studies find that people exposed to rosemary embody lower anxiety levels, increased alertness and are able to perform math computations at a faster rate (go figure!).<\/em>\u00a0 Lavender is also known to relax.<\/p>\n
