The Most Important Piece for Your Peace

The Most Important Piece 

for Your Peace

Have you ever began a weight loss program with a sense of peace? 

I'm guessing you haven't.  

But what would it be like if you could?  What would be that missing, important piece?

When I was struggling in my weight loss journey (I have gained and lost over 200 lbs) I felt frustration, guilt and shame.  These feelings are complete opposites of peace.

When I found out the real reasons I was overeating, I began to see that the journey was less of a struggle and more of an adventure.  

The real reason I was overeating started not in my stomach, not in my mouth but in my brain!

I kept believing that there was something wrong with me.  Honestly,  I thought there are many things wrong with me.
When I believed those thoughts, I felt awful.  When I felt awful - I ate.  No wonder it was so hard to lose weight- and if I lost it I gained it back plus some!! 😩😩

Can you relate?  

I studied and researched and took training to learn WHAT I should and shouldn't eat and how I should exercise.  To be sure, I learned great information about quality nutrition and practices, all the puzzle pieces, but I was still missing something.  I never stuck with it. It seemed as though I wasn't strong enough to win the struggle. 

Then I learned about the missing piece.  

When you put a puzzle together, what is the most important "piece"? If you don't have this "piece", you will never be able to put it all together.  What is it?

THE PICTURE ON THE BOX! The end result! Have you ever tried to put a puzzle together without the picture? 

I remember thinking, " I just want to be thin again.  I want to wear a certain size. Period."
What I didn't think about was what I wanted to think, feel and act like on a daily basis. 

I didn't ask myself, "Is this a way of thinking I want to have lifelong?" Did I really want to continue thinking I wouldn't be acceptable until......I lost weight, I had a cleaner house, I wan't good enough, yet?
Did I want to continue feeling like I did when I chose those thoughts?  Frustrated, edgy, guilty, overwhelmed?

Did I want to continue acting like I did when I felt that way? Grouchy, undependable (to my goals), giving up? 

Even if I lost the weight and I had the same thoughts, emotions and actions, was that really what I wanted?  The answer was NO! That is no life!

The I understood the importance of the  BIG PIECE- THE BIG PICTURE 

If you would like to get clear on your big picture, you can do that by asking yourself some good questions. Here are some to get you started and some optional choices.  Your work is to find the ones that fit you:
"How do I want to think about myself on a daily basis? " - I am wonderfully made,  I am the King's Kid,  I am not perfect but I am a Masterpiece. 

"How would I like to feel on a daily basis?" - Love, Joy, Peace, Patient......(recognize these? They are part of who you are because the Holy Spirit is in you)

"How would you like to act on a daily basis?" - Create a plan for eating and follow through, Plan a way of eating I can realistically do lifelong, Eat the way I plan and continue to lose weight.

When we start with a picture of PEACE we begin with a completely different perspective.  We stimulate a completely different response inside out bodies.  We create completely different results.  

It all starts with the BIG PICTURE.

This blog post has enough strategies to help you begin your journey.  You can do it!  Begin today by writing down your picture -
“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it." - Hab 2:2
Take time getting clear on what you want your picture to think like, feel like, act like and have results like.  You won't be sorry you took the time to do this.  

Your future is your property. It is created one thought at a time.
You've got a beautiful one,
Peggy

Vitamin T-3 Three Things You Are Thankful For Yesterday we talked about straightening up your brain like you would a room that you want to keep clean and organized If you need to bring in new thoughts to practice, then say goodbye to the thoughts you have been thinking.   One of the best ways to do this is by taking Vitamin T-3 When we harness our thoughts by choosing to focus on three things we are thankful for, several things happen in our brain and body. First,  studies are finding the powerful benefits for choosing optimism and positive thoughts. This habit releases endorphins into our system, turns on all our learning centers in our brain and raises our productivity as much as 31% !  When we choose to count our blessings it triggers the Relaxation Response.  When this ParaSympathetic Nervous System is engaged,  our metabolism is stimulated and our digestive system revs up.  What a wonderful way to start our day!   ...

Vitamin D - The Divine Vitamin -D The Divine.   This is a Vitamin you don't take.   It is one you receive.                  Because the Divine is the source of power behind all powers, the chemistry created when we experience the Divine supersedes all known laws of the body.                   There's no question that faith plays a paramount role in life with The Divine. Yet in order to "have faith," we must have something else first. First we must learn to   trust              The nature of God is unchanging; The Divine wants only what is good for us.   It is true even if we are not doing well. It doesn’t depend on our capacity to do something, it’s really about His ability to do something for us. By trusting Him, we get a confidence from...

Your Future is Your Property

Your Future is Your Property Your future is your property and it is built one thought at a time.   How does it feel when you read this?   We are quickly approaching the beginning of a new year and we can create a year like no other for ourselves.   Here are a few steps I recommend for creating your future: Think about what you are thinking.  How are you thinking about you?  If your daughter or son had a friend that spoke to them like you speak to yourself, would you think they were a good friend? It is important to understand where we are with our thinking. Just like using GPS, we need to know where our starting point is.  Now that you have your beginning location, think about your destination.  It is your thoughts that will get you there.  If you want to lose some weight or organize your home or build your relationships, the way you think is the way to get there.  Speaking of The Way, how does HE s...
