Beyond Disorderly Eating - Early Adult Stressors

As readers work through my book, Beyond Disorderly Eating, they have the opportunity to hypnotically review that special time of life when they transitioned from child/teen to young adult. This particular time of life is filled with special stresses, often connected to the development of eating disorders & addictions. Here are some of those…

Loss of old self & life
Pretend maturity
Multiple Adjustments
Exploring new self
Relationship stress
Work & financial responsibilities
Marriage fantasy
New family matters
Unrealistic expectations
Disappointments
Disorderly eating
Lack of self-care
High level stress & excesses

Early adult years are a time for experiencing self-responsibility for your health and well-being. Children grow into teens, and teens grow into young adults. Sometimes not all areas of the self grow up, so let’s go ahead and check this out. Begin by relaxing deeply. Find the quiet area of your mind and take a few moments to enjoy how pleasant it is to be in the quiet mind space. Spend time noticing how your body areas respond to the request for internal quieting. Practice going to a deeper part of your quiet mind space by counting backwards slowly and allowing the numbers to come towards you and then flow away gently. Now go back and look closely at your tension areas, and place flowers on them. Open the flowers and allow these areas to relax even deeper than before.

Early adult and the years that follow are total self responsibility years in self-care and health. For some reason people think that age makes a difference, but if you didn’t develop self-discipline or know what you should do and why should do it, perhaps you missed doing it. In adult life you are totally responsible for what you do, what you don't do, and for all outcomes. . Ask your subconscious librarian to bring forth your health books by decades. If you have had "busy decades" health-wise, ask for these books separately. Some books need more attention or noticing than others. Be sure to look at good books, as well as those that have some negative connotations. We will be taking things from both, transferring some and editing out others.

The adult health books and pictures are very important ones because they often show tendencies towards either continued health or illness. It's important to notice your emotions and attitudes as they relate to your beliefs about what is possible and what is not. Sometimes we allow emotions to lock areas that could otherwise take us to higher levels of health and wellness. For example, if one has a fear of dentists, and believe that they will lose their teeth anyway, the opportunities to correct the current situation are locked up and teeth that could be saved are then lost. Or one may believe that it is impossible to change eating behaviors because of age. In other words, the belief that old dogs can't be taught new tricks is blocking the goal. The belief that middle-aged women have to experience middle age spread is also blocking goals!

Take your early adult health book off the shelf . Begin with body scanning and observation of your total self. Look at your beliefs and decisions related to nutrition, exercise and stress management choices. Are there any emotions holding keys to locked doors? Be sure to keep journal entries when doing this work. Ask your subconscious mind librarian to show you the important entries and especially those related to health, illness and surgery if any. Notice how you took care of yourself nutritionally. Were you self-responsible or were you careless in this regard. Next visit the areas of exercise and stress management. Once again, notice how you look and how you feel about yourself health-wise.

· Were you self-responsible about caring for yourself?

· Can you see any negligence or self-abuse?

· Did you lose yourself in others?

· Was your fantasy broken?

· Begin looking at your hidden motivators. What motivated you to change and persevere? What got in your way? Make some notes about these memories. If this were a book you were writing, is there anything you would change?

· How would you edit it? Be very specific.

· Has any additional information been provided that would apply to your earlier years? If so, go back and make additional notes in the area above.

Remember we are just assessing in this area. Before we can change we must SEE. This is like a medical diagnosis! We need all the facts before we can set up a treatment plan. So, stay opened to the process and enjoy this time you are taking for yourself. Everything about this work is positive and designed to take you to a high level of health and performance on your life journey.
