If You Don't Like You, How Can You Love Others?

If You Don't Like You,
How Can You Love Others?

I was listening to Joyce Meyer, and she asked this question. 

It reminded me of all the years I
self-criticized and beat my self up with my self talk thinking it would help me meet my fitness and weight goals.

What I didn't know, it that when we think thoughts that are negative, very seldom do they give us a positive result.  We end up in comparison, competition and perfectionism. 

 It's like dumping in garbage and hoping roses will be the result.  

 "The greatest gift you can give to the world is a healthy you." Joyce Meyer

 Mentally healthy, physically healthy, emotionally healthy and spiritually healthy.  
For God's kingdom does not consist of food and drink, but of righteousness, peace, and joy produced by the Holy Spirit. Romans 14:17
If you are against yourself all the time, you will not have peace.  This is the order:
  • Start with the righteousness that Christ provided.  You are not perfect, but you have been made
    right with God.
  • Peace with God, peace with yourself and peace with others
  • Joy in God, joy in who you are and joy in others
From that place, we can begin to take steps to make changes to improve our health and relationships.  

Every day I help my clients get started on the path to well-being, and I would love to help you.

You are worth it,

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...
