Commitment
This section is dedicated to empowering you to live a healthy lifestyle. We want to provide the tools needed to be successful. We found that most of want to live a healthy lifesytle but really don't how to. I know growing up I wasn't exposed to the healthy life. This section will open your mind, your eyes, and your heart to the endless possibilities that lies ahead when you commit to a healthy lifestyle. It is our prayer that you become empowered to live a healthy lifestyle.
The first area that we want to deal with is the mind. The mind can be tricky, it can be a terrible place if you allow it to be. The reason why alot of us are not successful in weight loss is because we don't condition the mind. The mind is the hardest area to change. There is a saying that most people use and it says,"that you can't teach an old dog new tricks." The reason for this is when a person gets use to doing something over and over it becomes a part of them. For example growing up I have always had those Sunday meals with the fixings and I got use to eating and that was all I knew, but when I was able to accept changed and realized that it would cause more harm than good. Accepting change is very difficult but we all must go through this difficult process. I was reading an article and this statement grab me. The statement was,"weight loss doesn't start with the body it starts with the mind." This has to be, in my opinion, a true statement. The way you think will determine the outcome of your situation. If you think that you are defeated then you are. If you think that you are a winner then you are a winner. Negative thinking will produce negative outcomes. Postive thinking will produce positive outcomes.
Let me share a personal story. I'm just getting to a place in my life where my mind is conditioned. I am just getting to a place where everything is opening up. I was not a runner at first. I never wanted to run. To be honest, I complained about it everytime somebody said let's go run. And the reason for this is my mind wasn't conditioned. Then one morning I got up and I told myself I am a runner. I got tired of complaining. If you don't get tired of complaining then you are infection to your ownself and you need to get healed from it quickly,but I go up and said this is it. I told myself I can do it. I can run. For the bible says if you speak to a mountain it shall move. And when I spoke it moved. I saw results. Now this is key to any situation, it may not move at first but if you keep speaking life into your situation then you have to live. Just believe. Just have faith and be patient. I found that most people have faith in God but are not patient at ALL. They go on emotional rollercosters everytime they can't get there way or when they don't see any results. I will go deeper into this next month.
In the end, I want you to be empowered to live the healthy life that God wants you to live. Somebody told me that you can not be effective in the kingdom if you are not healthy. Just like we exercise out spirit man we have to exercies the physical man. Repeat this prayer out loud:
God empower me to live the healthy lifestyle; Change my mind; Change my heart; Open my eyes to change; God empower me with your spirit; I shall live and not die; Amen
"Be Empowered"
