Self loathing is not humility

Self loathing is not humility.


"Humility is not thinking less of yourself, 
it's thinking of yourself less" - C.S. Lewis

 I believe that often times in our walk with the Lord, we get confused about how we should see ourselves.  

 But let me ask you this question, "How does God see you?"  

 Does He loath you?  Does He despise you? 

 He sent His Son for you.  

 He loves you with an everlasting love.  No matter how you are behaving. No matter how you think you look.  No matter how you feel.

 What would it sound like if we got into agreement about how He sees us?

 Would we talk to ourselves differently?

 Would we honor ourselves differently?

 Would we act differently? 

 Would we have different results? 

 I believe this is the root and foundation of lasting well being and honoring our commitment to caring for our temples with strong decisions.  

 I  believe that humility is one of the strongest  emotions we can create.  We create is from a place of gratitude and praise.  Humility comes from a place of having accomplished something we could not have done on our own. 

 Isaiah 26:12 - "Lord... all that we have accomplished , you have done for us."

Our focus is on Him. 

 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ - 2 Cor 10:5
Every day I get the privilege of helping women tear down the confusion about how to care for their bodies well.  I share my extensive training with food, nutrition and the science behind it.  But I also help them discover the mindsets that are holding them back. They learn how to shake off the things that are holding them back so that they can have lives full of honor, dignity, humility and joy.  

I would love to help you with this.  When you schedule a free strategy session with me, we can do just that- create doable strategies that replace the habits that are holding you down.   CLICK HERE to schedule yours. Don't waste another day in doubt and confusion. 

Thank you for choosing to honor your commitment to honor yourself and your well being,

Peggy

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...
