I’M FRUSTRATED–with myself! The right and wrong ways to deal with it.

Ugh!! Why did I do that AGAIN?!? I’m so frustrated!

Why do we do continue to do things that make us feel icky inside and like a fat blob?!
I know I’m being a little graphic, but it’s the truth!! That’s how we feel and we call ourselves much worse in our own heads.

But we’re human. We go through ups and downs. We make mistakes and we also soar. We have big wins and deep losses. This is our game of life.

But in the end, the winner is one who learns to control her mind and gets quicker and quicker at picking herself up and moving in a positive direction without missing a beat.

I found myself frustrated at my recent lack of self-discipline and it was not only creating stagnation in my goals, but ultimately the physical effects were adding up to feeling tired, bloated, low energy, puffy eyes and just plain yucky on the inside.

The frustration I was feeling could lead to two outcomes:

  1. Continued downward spiral because I had already “lost”, or
  2. The catalyst to change my direction and be the reminder of what I’m wanting to move away from.

P.S. There’s no better than that right now to be surrounded by support, accountability and love as we head into one of the most stressful times of the year. The time of year where most people gain 7-10 pounds in just 2 short months! Wouldn’t even maintaining your weight be a holiday success, rather than being one of the statistics who may (or may not) have to work it back off come New Years?!

Finding Your Peace Amidst A Divided Country

Whew! A very historic Election Day is over! But did it rob your peace?

More specifically, have you ALLOWED it to rob your peace? Big difference.

Regardless of who you voted for or how you feel about the current state of the U.S. or our uncertain future, it is imperative that you find peace. And here’s how:

1) Meditate on these verses. Allow God to speak to you and bring the peace you seek.

  • John 16:33 “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
  • Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
  • John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”

2) Make quiet time to pray and give your worries, anxieties and fears to God. God is not scared or intimidated by your raw feelings! Be honest and express your deepest concerns. You’ll find peace at the end of your raw honesty.

3) Let go. When you stew and fret and doubt and worry, you not only make your own brain a battle ground and breeding ground for seeds of life-stealing fear, you only grow that which you are afraid of or don’t want.

  • Luke 12:25 “And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?”

4) Your mind is IMMENSELY powerful. Be very diligent what you allow to enter, live and exit.
Be purposeful and wise in choosing your thoughts.

  • Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.”

>> Final thought: Whether you’re in jubilation or dread about the results of the election and the future of our country, remember, God is in control. Rest in His peace, follow His will for your life, and no other outside governments can steal your peace.

How strong is your faith in the God of the Universe?

Do you need to do some faith-building and grow your trust in our Creator?

Take the time to do the inner work to seek the peace you need.

I hope you had a wonderful and meaningful Thanksgiving yesterday. We are surrounded by things to be thankful for, especially living in the United States, but sometimes we need to take the time to take a step back to see it from a new perspective.

I went on a great run just shy of 3 miles this morning in the beautiful and crisp New Mexico air. It felt good to work off some extra calories from yesterday’s festivities.

I was thinking of how I could celebrate Black Friday with you and I thought the best thing I could offer was the ability to spend more time with you and truly help you in your faith and fitness.
