The Breakfast of Champions

The Breakfast of Champions


If you believed you were a champion, how would you start your day?

Use your imagination a little and imagine being champion of this day. Just today. 

Do you know what champions do?  

They make decisions ahead of time.

They speak to themselves like champs.

When they fall down, they get back up without punishing themselves. 

Let's practice;

When you start your day, which would feel like a champion? 

  • Beginning with blasts from social media, emails, news? OR Beginning with a peaceful routine? (start with 5 minutes)
  • One of these is bombarded from outside forces, the other is focused on inside strength. 

When you decide what to think, which would feel like a champion?
  • "I can't figure this out." OR " I know at least one step to take."
  • One of these reduces forward momentum, the other increases forward momentum. 

When you decide how to speak to yourself, which would feel like a champion?
  • You are such a disappointment.  OR For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield.- Ps 5:12
  • One feels like comparison, the other feels like knowing your identity.  "Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value]." Colossians 3:2
When you fall down or don't follow through with what you have planned, which would feel like a champion? 

  • You might as well give up, you're never going to get this. OR "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have laid hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus." Phil 3:12-14
  • One feels like repeating the past, the other feels like creating a future that looks different from your past.  

What is a champion? 

She is a person who has defeated or surpasses rivals.  Her biggest rivals are her competing thoughts.  

How does she overcome? "She does this by keeping her eyes on Jesus, the Champion who initiates and perfects her faith." - Heb 12:2

What a way to fill our minds first thing in the morning! 

My clients are encouraged to find, create, choose a daily belief plan.  It is amazing how much difference it makes when we decide ahead of time one thing to focus on.  We do this one - 24-hour span at a time.  

This is an incredibly powerful strategy for gaining victory in the way we feed our bodies. 

I would love to tell you more about it and answer any questions you have.  You can contact me by scheduling your free strategy session today. CLICK HERE to find a time that works for you. 

You are a champion.  You are able. You are loved.

Get the support you need to create the future you were meant to have,
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...
