Why New Years Resolutions Fail

How to keep focus


Are you ADD?   Golly Ghee WHIZ  dumb question right?

                             However, do YOU HAVE  an ATTENTION DEFICIT ?  

Meaning, do you keep  "focus" on your GOAL?

  What will your "GOALS" be for 2013?

Now the BIG question, 

what happened to 2012 

New Year's Resolutions (goals)?

Let's do this.

Take a look a the habit you have when you wake in the morning.
Let's say it's a work day.  Do you do the same thing each morning you wake, in the same pattern?  

HABIT:   A recurrent, often unconscious pattern of behavior that is acquired through frequent repetition.

Stop and Think about this.


YOU want to set Goals

YOU  need to keep your F O C U S on those GOALS

"True Success"  can not take place until you take a hard honest look at your

H A B I T S that inhibit your focus 

and 

interfere in reaching your goals.  

So THEN,    you're not really a person with ADD, you just have developed habits that over rule your ability to change your focus  and achieve your goals.

Measure that Waist line!     

So before you start the "NEW YEARS RESOLUTION" 

 sit  facing a  corner and have a talk with YOU.

What is your eating and exercise habits!  (ouch that conversation may be painful) 

OH YA....How about the daily habit of  feeding and exercising your Spiritual Being?  

How much time and effort do you spent keeping your Spirit Healthy? 

Then have a come to Jesus talk with yourself before writing your "new years resolutions"
  
Discuss the Habits you have developed that grew from Laziness and Selfishness  of choosing to live an indulgent life of self pleasure and instant gratification. 


It Stinks!   But, we actually need the Therapist Couch and Jesus as our Therapist to figure out why we fail.   It starts with being honest with what is the TRUE DESIRE of our Heart!

Is our Focus and Goals to Please the Lord and care for his Temple

 or

Please our Carnal Nature of Self Pleasure?

1 Samuel 16:7

For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance,

 but the Lord looks on the heart.”

Every year we make New Years Resolutions!  

And they are the Same STINKING resolutions!


Cheer's to the NEW YEAR, NEW BEGINNINGS and Health and Wellness

BEING ME! re-born, re-invented, a "do over"

Why wait?


First Day of the Rest of my Life.

 "once again" 
I'm trying to develop a new habit of taking care of me with this new "FITBIT"
Device I received for Christmas.  It's a device that keeps record....

It will hold me accountable with FACTS not what I "think and want to believe I am doing".  OUCH! 

My goal is not about losing weight and getting fit, but being"ME".  

  The "ME" who knows what to do and isn't doing it consistently!  
 (consistently being the operative word)  

To walk the talk is to: 

To Act on what we KNOW! To  show good judgement and strength and wisdom to say "NO" to poor choices.  This is about BEING ME!  The Me God Created  is the "ME in HIM" 

Acts 17:28 

In Him  Jesus)

we ("ME" )

live and move 

and 

have our being. 

2013 Goals

HABIT #1  Commit All I do unto him

Whether it is eating, drinking, moving, "talking"

HABIT #2 Keep my Mind on Him... when distracted 

I will STOP, BREATHE and Speak His Word!

HABIT #3  Learn to Shut up! and LISTEN

Listen to HIM (His word)

CIAO and Salute!

MIND Heart CONNECTION

 Isaiah 55:8

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD.

Health starts in our Mind

What is in our Mind starts in our Heart

I was reminded yesterday as I took a walk at lunch time (trying to do the right thing) listening to music to uplift and minister to me, praying for those I love...

anyway

... the Scripture when Christ  was hanging on the cross and saying to His Father  

 

“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me;

 yet not my will, but yours be done.” Luke 22:42

It was an "ah ha" moment.   What was Jesus's will?   Seriously, did Jesus think something else could have, should of be done.... did he have his own agenda for his life.  An agenda that allowed him to live longer?  Ya, why didn't Jesus live to be 100 years old?  Just think of the work he could have done.

If Jesus had to say "not my will" then I need to re-think why I believe "I know".

Leave it all to GOD who knows what needs to be done here on Earth. TRUST HIM.  

His Thoughts, His Way.... 

Just some "Spiritual FOOD ".  

Feeding my Mind and Heart GOOD NATURAL ORGANIC FOOD. 

Having a Cup of God's Word to start my day.  (ok, I also have a cup of coffee with me too)

Salute!  To your Health and Wellness
