Potluck Panic!

Potluck Panic!


When it comes to sticking to an eating protocol, or eating healthy food choices,  isn't it interesting that some of the most challenging places to follow through is at our church potluck dinners?

When I am working with my clients,  we discover that the statement I just made is, in fact, just a thought.  And every thought is optional.  

Choosing our thoughts intentionally is the most powerful thing we can do for ourselves and our well-being.  

The important think to note is that all of our feelings are created by our thoughts.  If we feel "panic" is comes from a thought.  That thought could be, "There won't be anything at the potluck that I can eat."  That may seem like a fact, but facts are true for everyone and they can be proven in a court of law.  

When choosing our thoughts, we can know that we have the most powerful tool on earth, our prefrontal cortex. This is the part of us that is made in the image of God.  It is where we can be a watcher of our thought and a decision maker and chooser.

Our thoughts cause all our actions and our actions cause all of our results. Look at your results.  They are the direct proof of your thoughts.  

So, back to the potluck dinner.  What would you like to think?  Making this decision ahead of time will allow you to realize any obstacles there may be and to create a strategy.  

By taking the time to create strategies, you are proving to yourself that you are honoring your decisions.  

Yesterday, we found that honoring ourselves creates confidence!  

Would you like to trade the Potluck Panic for the Potluck Plan? 

It is your decision.     

You are in control. You can choose. Start by choosing a thought the honors your decisions for well-being.

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...
