Starting point is 00:06:50 middle finger the last one and move it around slightly noticing how this feels and feel relaxed and take a big deep breath and you start moving your fingers. You notice how relaxed your hands have become. Your hands guide you through your entire life. Choosing things and lifting things and bringing things home for you. We deserve to relax fully and with your eyes closed.

Starting point is 00:08:13 Become fully aware of what. what your hands look like. These hands are so important in your healthy choices journey. They are responsible for every food choice that you make. See your hands with your imagination picking up fresh produce

Starting point is 00:08:49 from a local farmer's market. This doesn't have to be a real place. You can imagine this farmer's market, however you like, but see your hands choosing fresh produce and fresh herbs. See yourself paying for these items, bringing a smile to the face of the farmer, who grew these vegetables and veggies for you, everyone. You have made a wonderful exchange with your hands at this farmer's market, and you trade it, your hard-earned money for healthy foods that will nourish your body.

Starting point is 00:10:03 You see yourself arriving home with these items, and you honour the food that you have purchased by cleaning out your fridge from anything that is unhealthy or old, and you may even wipe the shelves in the fridge to cleanse the area for a fresh, new start and you see your hands again, making the choices to throw away foods with ingredients that are not good for your body. The items for you to read the labels so you can make a choice on whether this food is nourishing or unhealthy for your body.

Starting point is 00:11:23 See your hands again, organising the freshly grown produce. in your fridge and wherever else you keep your items in your kitchen. That's good and you feel nice. You may think it is your mind choosing what you buy. You may think that you have trouble choosing healthy foods. But actually, you can just leave it up to your hands to decide what will benefit your overall health. how you see yourself, getting ready to prepare a nutritious meal. You grab some produce or meats from the fridge and feel the coolness that the fridge has brought to these items to keep them fresh for you, brings and things to your sink that need to be washed, and feel the water washing over these items as you rinse them,

Starting point is 00:12:46 cleaning them for you to eat. Notice how your hands delicately handle these items because you cherish and appreciate them. The nutrients that they bring are literally life-giving and you prepare the veggies by chopping them with your favourite knife and you can see yourself either cooking them in a pan with a healthy oil or eating them raw. Just notice how your hands do all this wonderful proper. for you without any effort or enjoying cooking a healthy meal and your hands complete each task effortlessly.

Starting point is 00:14:03 Your meal is ready to eat and you have cooked yourself a perfectly healthy meal without any junk food, extra snacks like bread that you don't actually need and see your hands holding a full energizing nutrition to your mouth and enjoy this bite that you are imagining right now. Your hands are amazing at picking out produce that is fresh and juicy. Your hands can feel the texture of things and know when they are perfectly right. Good, that's good. I'm going to present you now with a little challenge in this meditation. and you have a choice here to practice something that happens in your daily life. Imagine that you are being tempted right now with an unhealthy food choice.

Starting point is 00:15:37 It could be your favourite dessert at a friend's house. It could be a snack out on a bag at the gas station. It could be those last items that the grocery stores try to, attempt you to buy right beside the register. Whatever you imagine, you are going to have the choice to see your hands acting in the way you wish to see them. You yourself wanting to reach for this and healthy food, but instead your hands remain at ease. You can move your fingertips, like we did earlier, instead of grabbing the snack, and you can see that you didn't reach out into your wallet

Starting point is 00:16:45 or purse to pay for this unhealthy item. Your hands helped you decide what you didn't want to eat. That's good. Now allow this visual to fade and become aware of your breathing. And just notice how you are breathing right now. and inhale just a little bit deeper than you were. Say to yourself, I choose healthy foods, and my hands guide me every time my hard-earned money

Starting point is 00:17:44 is transformed into healthy foods. Healthy packaged foods do not end up in my hands. Just as my money never pays for these things, I make choices every day towards a healthy life. Hands guide me to make a healthy choice multiple times a day and holding healthy food in my hands makes me feel powerful.

Starting point is 00:18:29 Washing and preparing these healthy items makes me feel confident. My hands help me make delicious healthy food for myself and for others. I choose health. That's so good. We're going to take five deep breaths and by doing so

Starting point is 00:19:07 you are locking in these wonderful affirmations. In fully in you see yourself choosing health and exhale, relaxing your body as deeply as you can imagining shopping at healthy places and choosing the freshest items

Starting point is 00:19:38 and exhale. Relax. your body right now as much as you want to. Seeing your hands again choosing for you and exhale relaxing even more. Seeing your hands not act upon these unhealthy choices that you used to make. Your hands simply remain still and do not act upon urges that are unhealthy and exhale relaxing very deeply now. Breathing in one last breath that comes to mind that benefits your weight loss journey. Be creative, focusing on how relaxed you are right now.

Starting point is 00:20:56 You have done powerful work today. Your hands are there to guide you. They are no longer under the control of unnecessary urges for unhealthy items. You clearly know when you have an item in your hands. whenever you should eat it and absorb the nutrients or put it back on the shelf because you know it contributes

Starting point is 00:21:31 to your weight gain you can go to sleep now knowing that from tomorrow you can and will make healthy choices that are right for you
