Food for Our Thoughts


In this blog, Living with the Lights On, we have talked about the importance of being a watcher of our thoughts.  

We have seen that what we think about, our brain will find evidence to support.  

We have also recognized that what we think about will determine how we feel

How we feel will cause our actions.

Our actions always give us our results.  

The great news is - any and all thoughts are optional!

We have a brain that can make decisions to direct out thoughts.  Thank God!

What difference would it make if we knew the Fruit of the Spirit was not only food for thought, but food for OUR THOUGHTS? 

How would we feel if we knew that each Fruit of the Spirit was a gift we already have?  We only need to access it.  

How do we access it?  By directing our thoughts toward it.  

The interesting thing is - is often it takes "uncomfortable" circumstances to get our attention so that we can then direct our thoughts toward Him and the particular Fruit of the Spirit He has specifically for that circumstance.  

Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-Control

What would our thinking look like if we were convinced that each of these wonderland Fruit are placed in us? They are not something we struggle to accomplish, they are gifts waiting for us to unwrap.

What difference would it make in the way we think about ourselves, others and our circumstances? 

That is food for OUR THOUGHTS. 

If you have been struggling with your weight and you want to get more out of your Devotional Time,  WHY NOT GET THE SUPPORT YOU NEED?

The One Thing You Need to Know...

The One Thing You Need to Know...  What is it?  What is the one thing you need to know in order to achieve your goals? If your goal is to lose weight, is the one thing you need to know, a diet , powder or pill? If your goal is to manage your time, is the one thing you need to know, the best planner? If your goal is to exercise, is the one thing you need to know, the best workout? If your goal is to have more self confidence, is the one thing you need to know, the best mantras? Would you believe me if I told you that the one thing you need to know for accomplishing   any goal does not come from outside of you?  It comes from within.  One day, I was hosting a group call with my coaching clients, and I asked the question, "What is the one thing you need to know in order to continue in the wellness steps we have been practicing?" I listened to the answers from the group and then they asked me the one thing I needed to know. My ...

Are You Okay With It Taking Time?

Are You Okay With It Taking Time?  Every change we make, every accomplishment we achieve takes a certain amount of time.   We could even agree that the greatest accomplishments take more time.   But when it comes to losing weight, we want it to be fast.  This messes with our mind, our emotions and our commitment. I want you to think about when you enrolled in college.  You decided on a field of study and a degree you set out to earn and graduate.   Or, you can think about High School.  You set out to graduate.   When you signed up, you expected that it would take a number of days you would need to continue taking action.  You made a plan, followed through and repeated.....Over and over and over.   When you were a sophomore, did you say to yourself, "I haven't graduated yet I think I'll quit?" In the 6th month of your Senior year did you throw up your hands and stop completing the requ...

The New Normal

The New Normal How do we decide what normal eating is? Who decides?  Is it us or is it culture? Is it my thoughts, or society's thoughts? What is the association we are creating with our thoughts about food being part of our life events? Do we really need pizza and beer to make watching football more enjoyable?  Do we need to have sugary treats to celebrate the Holidays? I personally, had to spend time questioning my involvement in spreading this confusion during family gatherings. One of the qualities I wanted to be known for was to be a good cook.  I had to decide what I thought a "good cook" meant to me.  Was it to bake foods that were loaded with mind altering substances? Or, could I decide that preparing food that was actually higher on the nutritional scale is of more value? Hmm, what an interesting question.  What is my new normal? Another question I asked myself is, "How am I going to feel after I eat those mind-altering foods?  W...
