Just remembered that I did not tell you in the last post a few of things I learned in yesterday's sessions...even though it was to do with conflict in the church...it also had some stuff that you can apply to your daily life and I saw in my weight loss journey. He said that family patterns and trouble also goes into the trouble that is in church. You bring your own baggage with you.
He said that whenever you redefine yourself in any way ...you can expect resistance (dad)
The key to standing up to resistance is to focus on self and not try to change others.
Questions are a good way to challenge people (Don't you want me to lose weight and get healthy?)
You should persist in your misson despite all the opposition. Stay the course--listen to the opposition but don't cave in. Stay connected. Stay calm and don't become reactive and don't sabotage yourself.
Pretty good stuff, huh?
Very good stuff. Good things to remember as you do the day to day changes that will make you healthier.
ReplyDeleteAmen.
ReplyDeleteI was listening to joyce meyer this a.m. (now that I have to get up at the butt crack of dawn with miss wide awake at 7 a.m.). She was talking about persistence and we make time for what we want to make time for, everything else is just excuses, etc. etc...kind of along the same lines. She was peddling a set of CDs called healthy living: spirt, soul, and body. and a book called press pause before you eat.
