you are not going to diet, you are going to eat to be healthy and the weight is going to take care of itself.  If you are exhausted all the time, you are going to choose to get seven continuous hours of sleep every night.  You are going to choose to cook so that you control the nutrients that you are getting from your food.  You are going to choose to eat the full rainbow of fruits and vegetables because they work together to create health, and you are going to choose to eat organic.  You are, literally going to choose health with everything you do.

There is a quote that I have always loved.  Make it YOUR mantra for 2021.

William Hutchison Murray said it this way: “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.  Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one commits oneself, then Providence moves too.  All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.  A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!”  

Take back your power in 2021.  Stop sabotaging the life that you want. Commit to what you want and recognize that you have the power to create it.   Focus on what it is that would create the life you want to live and then choose to make it happen. If you need help reaching the goals you want to achieve, then hire a coach to help you get there.  Who hires a coach?  A winner who plans to win.   I am a health coach; how can I help you?

We hold both in tension. The good AND the hard. I want to encourage you to name them both. To acknowledge all the nuances and feelings. Don’t just stuff them or dismiss them because they don’t fit into a neat package.

The longer I live and the more I study the Bible, the more convinced I am that very few situations fit neatly into columns labeled “good” or “bad”. Most things in this broken world are a mixed bag. Nuanced. The person you love most in the world has his or her dark side. Some of your happiest memories had moments of stress or disappointment woven into them. It’s OK to acknowledge and feel both. Hold them in tension. Let God work through both to shape you more into the likeness of His breathtaking Son. Can we let Him do that work as we reflect on 2020 and move into 2021?
