Hi, I wanted to let anybody who struggles with head hunger, boredom, negative thoughts, self acceptance issues, depression or anxiety to research Mindfulness and Meditation. I myself have struggled with them for a lifetime , as well as trauma issues (don't we all?).

Recently, I've made use of what is called "mindful thinking"and implementing it as a new way of identifying with myself and my world. It's become helpful in locating the core reasoning behind certain thought patterns and coping, including my obesity. I believe we all have the potential to succeed not only with our health and weight loss goals, but relationships, work, finance and overall sense of well being, but sometimes we let our emotions and thoughts get in the way of our success.

I know a lot of people out there are already aware of the benefits of mindfulness and meditation, and that is awesome! But, just in case somebody out there struggling is unaware of this liberating method, I feel obligated to share what mindfulness has done for me in hopes it compels them to learn and grow from it.

I also thought it would be a good thread for others to share their experiences and inspirations.

Good luck to everybody embarking this journey and may all your dreams come true! I can't help but feel gratitude for all the good that is to come to each and every one of us!
