Shhhh! My Cyndi's Secrets!

My Dear Friends,

Below is a question that came in from a “My Cyndi’s Secrets – Shhhh!™ “ member who intellectually knows that she “should” feel better about her body (Specifically her belly.).  However, she does not know “how” to do that. Your little Cyndi Sleuth has the scoop…………….Psssssst! Come with me!

(Please be aware that any advice in the below entry is not intended to be a substitute for medical or psychological counseling,)

Hi Cyndi,

You have written and talked a lot about body image and self worth. I am aware that I need to improve the way I feel about myself but I do not know “how” to even begin to accomplish this task.  You have often explained the importance of starting with small steps so I’ve begun to appreciate the parts of my body that I “like” (eyes, hair etc). My specific concern is my belly. I have gained 15 pounds and am proud to be on the road to gradually losing the pounds but every time I look at my belly I feel discouraged. I don’t like it. Can you help me?!

 Hi Patty!

I’m glad you have asked this excellent question! Thank you for recognizing my passion for helping women to improve their body image and self esteem. For purposes of this column and in order to answer your question, we will focus on your initial concern of poor “belly image”. When you hear the word “belly”, what image does it conjure up? Many women automatically squirm in poor “belly image” discomfort – YUCK! I find this response disturbing – the belly is a beautiful part of the female anatomy. Certainly, I encourage you to try to eliminate excess fat for health reasons. However, not everyone can have a six-pack. Although rock-hard abs can look phenomenal, so can a tummy that is firm, toned, and strong with a little bit of a belly. As women, we need to appreciate our personal best differences. I say “as women” because I believe that when it comes to the tummy, women are harder on themselves than men are on women. My mission is to help you achieve your personal best abs, and also to help you love them.

It helps to understand that there are several different reasons why some women develop more pronounced abs than others. It would take several medical books to explain it in detail. Two prominent reasons that abs differ genetically for women has to do with muscle fiber makeup and childbearing. I discuss this in my book ERASE YOUR WAIST (Sourcebooks) should you want more information.

To help you with your specific concern of a poor belly image, I am going to give you one of my favorite exercises that I call Tummy Touch Time™!

Whether you are trimming off twenty extra pounds or honing in on a six-pack, if you don’t have a positive belly image, your abs routine will never be successful. How do you achieve that positive belly image, you ask? It’s Tummy Touch Time!™ 🙂

Tummy Touch Time™ is an intimate exercise I’ve developed specifically for women. The underlying premise is that if you don’t love yourself right now, in this moment in time, you will never have a positive belly image. Learning to love yourself, and I mean “really” love yourself inside and out, will help you move mountains in every area of your life.

You can begin Tummy Touch Time in the privacy of your home when you are alone. Take off all your clothes and stand naked in front of your mirror. That’s right – naked! Place both hands on your bare belly and watch the beauty of the movement as you slowly inhale and exhale. Feel the heat radiate from your womb. Notice the softness and texture as you touch your stomach. Caress your curves and love every ounce of your flesh. Look in the mirror again, naked – face the truth. My programs and speeches and books can help you Erase Your Waist to your personal best potential BUT it is up to you to discover YOU!

Another powerful but relaxing way to begin your journey of feeling more attractive is through self-hypnosis. I invite you to experience the power of my new HypnoHero iphone app for Relationship Help and you can improve the relationship you have with your own body. Perhaps you have heard me mention this program before. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a good relationship with your body. It’s the first step to properly losing weight, succeeding personally and professionally and even to finding true love.  This is NOT some “wacky” out there weird and scary thing but rather a healthy positive way to deal with the importance of feeling good about yourself. I invite you to take a minute to discover what I too have embraced – The Power of My Own Thoughts through my iPhone HypnoHero app for Relationship Help!  It’s about making positive affirmations that can help you to relax your mind, improve your ability to cope with things that are out of your control, and give you the confidence to feel better about life and dealing with all those people you interact with daily.  Experience the power of HypnoHero and FEEL MORE ATTRACTIVE TODAY!!!  Woo hoo!
