You Will Find What
You Are Looking For


This is so true. It is also scary powerful.

The more I practice this the more I realize that this is pare of "being transformed by renewing my mind."  

When I choose a thought that includes negative self-talk or negative other-talk,  that is exactly what I am directing my mind to look for. 

It is like typing that thought into my mind's google search bar. My mind is so efficient that it then goes to work searching for evidence to support that thought.  

The interesting thing is, that my thought will also cause an emotion, that will cause action, reaction, or inaction, that will then give me the results I was looking for in the first place.  WHAT?!

So, If I start with thoughts like, "I wish I was thinner." I am directing my mind to compare myself with others which leads my brain to find my shortcomings.  I will find evidence that my body isn't good enough.  

Comparing myself to others or sizing myself up against who I think I should be, never improves my situation. It doesn’t make me feel better.

What it does is makes me feel terrible. I feel inadequate and exhausted because nothing I do makes me feel good about myself.

My job is to start making myself find things that are RIGHT about me. That is HARD work. It feel like I am speaking another language to myself. 

I used my old self-criticism habit to trigger a practice thought. When I hear myself think, "What is wrong with you?" I have to think up one thing right about me. 

I agreed with myself, I don't have to believe all these new thoughts…yet. One day I might.

This allows me to start living. I notice I am way more motivated to take care of myself when I actively looked within myself to find happiness. 

Within myself I find the Holy Spirit, who will never give up on me.  He helps my direct my thoughts to find evidence of the gifts, purpose, and lovableness that I inherited when I became The King's Kid.  

When I begin looking for the righteousness of God in me because of Christ, my emotions become intentional, my actions become fruitful and my results become worship.  

Won't you join me in transforming your thoughts?

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...
