Do you find it difficult to eat healthy? Do you find it hard to stick to an exercise routine? Do you struggle with motivation or self discipline? I DO! ...but WHY is it SO hard?
Sugar addictions? Caffeine addictions? Just plain fear of the unknown?
Isn't our health important to us?
Why does it seem we are always trying to get healthy?
Why can't we just BE healthy?
Why are we always starting tomorrow!?
Let's start now...TODAY!
It doesn't have to be anything crazy.
Start small. Just begin doing one thing right now to reset your life!
All of this has been sparked by the new Beachbody Ultimate Reset program.
I ordered on Friday and am waiting for it to arrive in the mail, so I can start the program.
However, I began thinking, why do I have to wait until it arrives before I start doing something to improve my life?
So, I decided that NOW is the time...I'm going to begin my own life reset today!
Why am I feeling so passionate?
Well, I'm not obese, but I still fit into the "overweight" category and frankly I feel lousy!
I rarely complete my to do lists and I often feel inadequate.
I'm a Christian who loves the Lord, but I barely take the time to spend with Him, though I desire to.
We buy minimally processed foods and strive to teach our children how to make healthy choices, but still I don't take the time to prepare healthy well rounded meals.
There is a lot in my life that needs resetting!
Last summer I starting losing weight, but I never really changed my entire life.
I mean, I started eating better, but still found it acceptable to "cheat".
Now, I wouldn't cheat on my spouse in a million years, so why would I cheat my own health?
It's just silly!
I may have made a small step towards regaining my health, but what I really need is a full on reset!
I so badly desire this time to be different! I'm giving it my all...100%! That means every area of my life needs renewal! My spiritual life, my home life (de-cluttering), and my health/exercise life.
I believe each of those areas work together and if you only change one it's like a puzzle that's missing a piece! You won't feel complete until all the parts are fitting together!
So, I'm the kind of person that need a plan, something written down and attainable.
Writing this blog is more for me than for anyone else, but I hope it might also help someone out there!
You might ask...what am I going to reset today? Well, I'm going to begin with my spiritual life. My morning will start as I open my Bible and spend at least 10 minutes reading His Word!
My living room wall reads Matthew 19:26 "Believe with God all things are possible".
I do believe that, so that is where I am going to start!
LOVED LOVED LOVED this post!!!! That is EXACTLY where I am and what I need! I am the queen of "as soon as this ____________ is finished, I will get back on track." ENOUGH ALREADY! There will always be something going on. Just do it today! ESPECIALLY time with God. My hubby told me yesterday that he heard Joyce Meyers say "If you had to go to the hospital every morning for a daily treatment in order to stay alive, where would you be every morning? At the hospital, of course. But what if one day your best friend calls and says she's taking you on a FREE shopping spree at the mall...would you skip the hospital trip to go with her? NO! What good would all those new things do if you were DEAD from missing the hospital trip? Well, every day that you don't spend your time with God...you are choosing to DIE spiritually." WOW!
ReplyDeleteI thought I replied to your comment a while ago, but maybe I never hit publish? Anyhow, THANK YOU so much for your comment!
ReplyDeleteIt is always nice to know that someone knows where you are coming from! I'm so much more mentally prepared for this, than I have ever been before starting any new program!
I'm just plain excited!
Anyhow, that certainly is a powerful message from Joyce Meyers! Definitely something to ponder! Thanks for sharing!
