This Holiday Season
Focus on the Gifts


Wait! Before you close this, hear me out. 

I know for some who are managing their eating and food choices, this time of year can feel so challenging.

You've been working so hard to plan and follow-through, but you know that when the feasting begins, it seems impossible to honor your commitment to your well-being.

This is where filling up is most helpful.  

Fill up your mind on the gifts.  

The gift I am noticing more and more is the gift of faith.  

Ephesians 2:8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

Can we un-give gifts that have been given to us? 

Is it possible?

No!

The thing that is our part is to notice the gifts. 

Focus on the gifts. 

Start with a few; Grace for each day.

Faith to believe.

Fruit to nourish us in our Spirit.

But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its varied expressions: joy that overflows, peace that subdues, patience that endures, kindness in action, a life full of virtue, faith that prevails, gentleness of heart, and strength of spirit. Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless. - Gal 5:22-23

My challenge to you is to begin filling up today and to continue through the holiday season.  

Will it make a difference? 

I have seen that it make more of a difference than we can even imagine.  If you would like to share this season with like-minded faith-filled friends, I invite you to join the private Shifting Inside Out Group. CLICK HERE   Each day we share Daddy-Daughter messages and inspirations.  

I would also love to support you with a free strategy session to help you "set" your mind and enjoy this year's holiday season like you never have before. CLICK HERE  to schedule yours today.

He chose you.  Do you believe that?

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...
