Recalculating
Will Get You There


Have you ever noticed your GPS gets
you back on the right path without judging you? 

What if we talked to ourselves in the am way as our GPS? 

Are you willing to think about it? It could  make a huge difference in how we reach our destination and how much we enjoy the journey to that destination. 

Let's talk about how to use a GPS.  First we access our beginning location.  When I work with my clients, we do this by noting our food intake.  We also begin to notice how we are eating- hurried, emotional, unconscious....

After we determine the starting point, then we get clear on the destination.  This is not simply a number on the scale.  What difference will it make?  What will I be able to do physically?  How will I be thinking about my relationship with food?  How will I be thinking about my body, mind and spirit? 

We have the starting place, we have the destination. Now we begin the journey.  This journey continually takes use through four steps.  These four steps include - Awareness, Acceptance, Accountability and Action.  Let's break those down:

Awareness - We start here.  It is the beginning point, but it also is where the GPS takes us if we take a turn off the path.  We become aware when we have eaten in a way that doesn't follow our plan. Just notice it.  BTW a GSP never tells us how we have messed up or judges us, it just redirects us back to the path.

Acceptance - acceptance is the acknowledgment that we are a work in progress and that is a beautiful think.  Acceptance also helps us realize that we are at the work of cultivating more and more the person we are created to be.  In acceptance we own it when we have turned off the path and direct ourselves back toward the destination.  Like a GPS, we can accept we have turned off the path and decide to return to the road ahead. 

Accountability - or commitment is the step that shows us what we are truly capable of accomplishing.  This step includes making decisions ahead of time.  Planning 24 hours in advance and in writing.  This is the step that gives our prefrontal brain a head start over our primal brain that wants pleasure.  

Action - is following through. Every plan we create, when we follow through, we show ourselves that we can be dependable.  We do have our own backs.  We can accomplish any goal we have set out to reach! 

This is the GPS journey for you to reach any goal you want, just like any destination on on your car GPS. 

In this process, there will be times you will turn off the road.  As your coach, I will guide you back on track through awareness, acceptance, accountability and action.  I do this  ta

Like a GPS, there will be no judgment, no shaming, no guilt - simply redirecting. I will teach you how to take each thought captive to the obedience of Christ. I will remind you of your identity and  that will keep you on the road and give you the results you hope for.  

I have created a free video course for you to try out.

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...
