How to Make Healthier Decisions.

Hey everyone!

During this time of fasting, I wanted to encourage you to consider and seek God regarding the decisions that you make with your health. He cares about our physical body and wants us to seek him regarding it. Read the article below on making healthier decisions:

There are many of us that are STRUGGLING to get it together! For some reason, no matter how many times we do self-talk, we end up makin' the same ol' decisions. I know I can relate to this. One of my biggest struggles is being passive when it comes to certain decisions in life. I kind of have this attitude of, “I can’t do anything about it...”. You know what I mean? I've even asked my husband or called one of my sisters telling them the same story over and over again because I was afraid to make a move. The reasons varied: I was afraid of failing, I didn’t really believe that the decision would make things better, or it felt more like extra work that I didn’t feel like investing in.

I find that many of us struggle with living healthy because we have not had a mindset shift. We have a powerful tool as humans... a will. We have the ABILITY to DECIDE what we want to do with our lives. This tool enables us to walk with a certain authority. Why? Because we can say yes and no every day. But do you know what’s interesting? Humanity has turned this amazing tool around and repurposed it into a weapon. We take others ability to say yes or no away through greed and abuse and war. It’s crazy! But guess what?! (Here’s the good part)...

Finding your personal authority in life can help you to become healthier AND help those around you. I truly feel in my heart that many of us are sitting on the potential to CHANGE OUR COMMUNITIES! 

So how do you do it? How do you make healthier choices?

1. You have to do whatever necessary to see life from a different perspective. Some people may know of this concept as a mind renewal. Reprogram your mind to see value rather than work or pressure regarding health.

2. You have to take authority over your life! Many of us allow our bosses and our families and our friends and our neighbors and celebrities to tell us what we should be doing. Okay. So I’m only gonna say this once (lol jk) TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK!!!!! Now I believe that we were created by God and that God called us to walk with a pep in our step! (Can I get an amen?! lol) I believe that God called us to walk with authority by CHOOSING! Authority does not mean hierarchy, being in power, or being the strongest. It means taking personal responsibility, taking initiative, and not allowing anything or anyone to tell you anything different. It should come from a place of love rather than a place of right and wrong!

3. You have to make up your mind about what you want before the moment of pressure. Deciding to start an exercise regime right after a long workday may not be the best time for everyone... especially if you haven’t previously taken time to consider the cost of that action. Take time to plan and invest in what type of life you want. If not, someone else will. I’m just sayin’!
