YOU CAN
Have you ever felt so far OFF TRACK in regards to your health that you are consumed with hopelessness? This easily leads to never taking that first step towards regaining optimal health. You may find yourself saying that you will begin TOMORROW or NEXT WEEK or when life is LESS BUSY. There’s never a better time than the present though to FEEL YOUR ABSOLUTE BEST. ❤️
Each new moment gives us the beautiful opportunity to start anew. If you ate foods or took part in activities this morning that zapped your energy and left you feeling exhausted, moody and lethargic, you can start afresh right now. You don’t have to wait until tomorrow.
Perhaps you’ve never felt “ON TRACK” and you simply are overwhelmed with the idea of creating a healthy lifestyle?
I simply want to encourage you today! There is hope and you are capable of creating positive change in regards to your health and beyond.
What’s the secret to giving yourself a fresh new start? Knowing in every ounce of your body, spirit, and soul who you are in Christ. Hands down. That’s the crucial key here my friends. The place where we must begin.
If He is not the foundation of your identity then everything else will fail. You will fall for the lies of the enemy and listen to the voices that tell you that you are failure.
Our creator knows us best. Who are you in Christ? Who does Christ say you are? That’s what you need to speak over yourself and begin believing.
When we leave Jesus out of our life and don’t truly know who we are in Him, we can and most often will fall for the lies. This is something we need to understand and practice for our entire lives.
THIS changes EVERYTHING and it’s why in my own wellness coaching practice we begin with our IDENTITY.
When we have that void, we begin chasing after something, anything to fill that void. When that void is filled with people, beliefs, choices, actions, and/or practices that are not in alignment with God’s commandments and his plans for your life, burdens and stressors are born and they grow. That’s the bad news.
However, there is good news! When our identity is in Christ, and we’ve learned through training our minds to truly trust Him with every ounce of our being, a transformation takes place.
We begin to believe who God says we are, not the world or others, or even ourselves. We know in the depths of our spirit that it is Christ living in us that makes all things possible. We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. Phillipians 4:13
BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT BECAUSE of HIM, NOT YOU.
When you know who you are in Him, then you can also lay your burdens at His feet. This is crucial in terms of many areas, specifically your wellness.
When we can rest assured that He carries our burdens, then we no longer need to live in a state of chronic stress.
I’ll say this 1 million times but chronic stress and stress in general shut down our immune system, our digestive system, and our metabolic system. We need those working properly so you can feel your best and be who God has called you to be in this world!
Now, knowing all of this, let’s look at all the possibilities for you!
Go grab a journal or piece of paper and write down WHY YOU DESIRE TO FEEL YOUR BEST.
More energy, healing, preventative health, or greater confidence?
Write down your reasons for beginning and then write yourself an encouraging letter (treat yourself like a treasured friend) that will help motivate you, encourage and guide you as you begin this important journey.
Remember: begin small. Small changes done consistently will lead to habits that create great change.
MICROMOVEMENTS.
Often we want to revamp our entire lifestyle and it simply brings overwhelm and we quit.
Choose ONE area of FOCUS. Example, focusing on how you begin your day. I love beginning my day with 30 ounces of pure, clean water and the fresh squeezed juice of a lemon. Make this a habit, conquer it and then onward, my friend.
Perhaps you’d like to focus on adding fruits and vegetables into your life. Whatever your area of focus, stay with it until it has become a habit and then move on to your next focus area.
You can do this because you are a CONQUEROR, VICTORIOUS, an OVERCOMER, and FAR MORE.
That is who you are in Christ, my friend because that is what He said!
Sending you all love and light!
“We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength.” - Phillipians 4:13
