Think Young, Feel Great!n by Debbie Johnson, Best-selling author of Think Yourself Thinnnn All over the world children believe it's possible to never, ever, ever grow up. I believed it too when I saw the movie, Peter Pan. It touched me where I lived, in the very core of my heart, withi
Soul, Itself. I knew then and there that it was entirely possible to retain my youth and vitality, my sense of wonder, my childlike innocence and love for life. I knew I could fly and talk with fairy-tale creatures in my dreams, if not in real life. I was the happiest child alive. n The great success stories have come from staying childlike (not childish) meaning, using the imagination, pretending, making believe! Think of Walt Disney. He was not a business man (his brother handled the finances) but he believed in his dreams with all his heart, and imagination. My own successes and many others I know have come from my receptive, open attitude toward life. Not only my success with my books, but also with "thinking thin", (I've kept the weight off twenty years just by "thinking thin" and listening to my own spiritual guidance) but also my success with looking and feeling younger than my years.nnn Would You Like To Feel Younger Right Now?

Try saying to yourself, and feeling it too, "I feel younger, stronger, vital and alive. I feel energized and happy!"
We may find ourselves saying things like, "I feel so old today." or, "I'm having a senior moment." Instead, try saying, "I usually feel energetic. Today is unusual." or "My memory must be out to lunch, but I'm still here and feeling great!"
Many people feel tired and forgetful, even though they are quite young. Many people of greater years actually feel younger, stronger and better than some whose ages are half! Why is that? n We may attribute it to health, good genes or luck. All of that may be true, but even with bad genes, attitude wins out. Here's why:

The Subconscious Works in Images

Put simply, the mind works in images. Prove it to yourself right now with this experiment. Try to think this thought without having an image come to mind:

"I will not eat that piece of chocolate cake!!"

What did you see or experience? n Unless you are from another planet, you saw, smelled, tasted and even felt the texture of that chocolate cake, just like everyone else on our planet would, even if they hate chocolate cake! The people who like it would see themselves eating the cake, feel it, taste it, etc. We will always see the images created by our words.
Did you notice in the above experimental sentence that I had you say you would not eat the chocolate cake?
Then why did you still imagine eating it?

The Subconscious Doesn't Hear Negatives , It Sees and Feels Imagesnn Negatives, such as "not, no, never, don't , shouldn't, none, won't," etc. are completely ignored and disregarded by the subconscious mind. Its purpose is to reproduce images and make them happen. You would soon feel driven to eat the piece of chocolate cake if you kept repeating the sentence to yourself, "I will not eat chocolate cake." By the same token, the person who continually thinks of themselves as old and getting older, saying it to themselves and everyone else, will continue to feel and look older than necessary.

IMAGE + GOOD FEELING = POSITIVE RESULTS IN YOUR BODY AND YOUR LIFE.

If you want to speak with someone who speaks only Greek, you must speak Greek. If he speaks Spanish, you must speak only Spanish. Luckily, the language of the subconscious is something we all use every day. We all do this every day, without being aware of it (scary, isn't it?) Now it's just a matter of being aware of how we do use images constantly for communication with ourselves and our world, and use discrimination to attain positive results.
If we speak to the subconscious mind in it's own language, that of images, it will not only produce the image, but it will compel us to produce the results of the image. Action follows thought. It is absolutely uncanny to see this work.

Unfortunately, Most People Program the Subconscious for Failure.

For example (I'm sure you've never heard this or heaven forbid, said it yourself): "I feel so fat!" or "I feel so old." This statement has just given the subconscious mind a command to gain more weight or age more quickly! Guess what happens now. One person is going to desire foods that will put on weight for his/her body type. The other person will do whatever it takes to get older faster, i.e., stop exercising, forget the sunscreen, stop being playful or trying new things. Whereas thinking young, healthy thoughts will motivate that person to do whatever it takes to stay young, such as eating healthier, exercising more often and loving it, drinking more water, breathing deeply, thinking of new ideas to enjoy life, etc.

Practical Ways to Look and Feel Younge
n I’ve been experimenting with health products and solutions for many years in order to feel and look my best. Most people think I am at least ten years younger tha
I am, and I haven’t even done everything I know I can to de-age naturally. Here are some tips for you:

Inside Tips - Beauty Begins Withi

1. Drink plenty of water (where have you heard that before?) to flush toxins and hydrate cells. Use Mega H3 if you have trouble getting hydrated.
2. Eat as many raw vegetables and fruits as possible with meals, or warm only, to maintain enzyme action and alkalization (for greater health and longevity) and take a high quality enzyme supplement, such as Transformation or Wobenzyme.
3. Clean the colon! (Affects all areas of health, including skin tone and health) Hannah Kroeger’s products are great, or look for Sonnie’s.
4. Exercise regularly- You have more energy, look stronger and stay healthier. All that improved circulation keeps the toxins flowing out of your body and skin, too.
5. Take a well-respected (check their stores or ask friends for referrals) supplement that stimulates your own HGH (Human Growth Hormone) release. In this day and age of stress and pollution we are aging faster than more primitive cultures without those problems which inhibit HGH release. - The supplements help to increase it again.

Outside Tips - Also Affects Inside Health and Attitude!

1. Use the best face-care products in the world, the expense is no more than what you already use, because it lasts longer - Borlind of Germany is world renowned as the best, purest, most natural (organic) and most effective available anywhere. I’ve used it for nearly twenty years with incredible results and comments from my aestheticians. They have awesome new age-defying products that even improved my already healthy skin.
2. Sun Screen! The beauty secret of super-models and the stars is the most obvious and least respected, yet it’s my secret, too (Borlind’s face creams are all loaded with sunscreen!) I stay out of direct sun as much as possible, too.
3. Get facials from professionals, especially with the Syberitic machine - a new way to get a non-surgical face lift with safe micro-current that is actually good for the skin and deeper epidermal layers.
4. Whiten teeth naturally - New Coral White toothpaste by Coral, Inc. is fabulous, even “feeds” your teeth! (And they only use above-sea coral - safe for the environment.)
5. Posture - makes you look younger, see a good chiropractor or take Pilates or Yoga.
4. Breath! Deep breaths whenever you feel low energy or older, the oxygen will help with clearing out free radicals and bring life -giving energy to your cells. Breath out stress, breath in youth!

Give your Subconscious Positive Programsnn You are not what you eat, but what you think. Not only that, but you will desire only what is good for you when you think healthy thoughts. Whatever you think, your subconscious innocently believes. Give it the best you can, from the highest within you knowing that you truly are a child; a child of God.
