Losing weight by the power of purpose and mission

I have struggled with losing weight for a long time...slowly, over a decade, I have put on more than fifteen kgs!

Until now, my consistency of doing physical exercises remained elusive...diets remained inconsistent, sleep remained erratic. Waking up early was a challenge.

This has been the state of affairs in almost every aspect of life. Not that there were no achievements, no wins, but they were inconsistent, and not to the full potential, and I could feel it.

As I went on a, quest, through books, noted learnings, did introspection, took coaching, over a period of time, my personal mission statement become clearer and clearer...almost like a sculpture from a rock! It was like a eureka moment!

I have now declared my mission statement to transform one million lives, across regions, languages, cultures, for people all over the world.

The purpose of my life is innovation. The purpose powers my mission.

Now, the question I ask is...what kind of person should I be to fulfill my mission? A fit person, with abundance of energy, or a lethargic person who gets tired easily, gets irritated...

Another question I ask is...what will I achieve by losing weight? Is it that I want to look fitter to impress people, is it that I crave appreciation? Is it that I feel better about myself?

I realised that these are all in the physical domain. Losing weight for me is about being connected, being alive, being conscious, being energetic. Its not a number. Its a going to another energy level altogether!

So the target of "losing weight" changed to...becoming a fit person, full of energy! A complete change in perspective!

The pull of the mission statement now makes me get up early. I have automatically reduced my food intake. I have altered my diet more towards fruits. I automatically reduced snacks. I remember a month has passed, without having fried yellow salted crisp tasty banana chips, which I love!...and the best part is...I didn't miss it at all! I have now started working out as the energy makes me feel good. The journey has started.

The voice in my head has become clear with intuition. The voice in my head is getting aligned to my mission. It no longer distracts me. I spend less time getting into thought trips...one thought leading to the other...hijacking my mind! Food cravings, mid night snacks are not even in the conversation now!

Akhand namasmaran is the magic mantra that keeps me aligned, focused on the misson always. My mission and purpose are clear. I am living my mission and purpose.

I have now realised that my personal goals are mere rewards on the journey to fulfill my mission. Rewards I have setup by my choice. Rewards which are tiny as compared to the tremendous value addition I bring to others lives.

My mission goals are a million times more impactful. They are about giving. Reward I seek of being fit, is natural, blessing I receive, to be aligned to my purpose and mission.

Everything else gets pulled on by the mission. There is no internal struggle. There is no discipline. There is no force. There is no self control. It's simply the flow...free and flowing. With every day, I am ready to receive from the abundant universe.

It feels wonderful to be in this state...well losing weight is a just another number now. As I progress on this journey, the number will manage itself!
