YoYo.... I'm back

HI

I'm back  :)

Speaking from the Heart or What's your BMI?

Wadda ya afraid of?   Seriously,  what are you afraid of?

Fear can be a tremendous motivator  and  Fear can also disable a person.


It's strange,  but once again I feel a tug at my heart to speak out about something and it won't let me go until I "blog it".   Gheeze what would I do without the ability to Blog?   Well, what did I do before blog.... I "journalize" (or talked to myself in the car with the windows rolled up).
 It just wasn't as creative and fun.  I love to blog ... and I  get to use pictures!
 I just love that.

Ok, Who or What is knocking at your DOOR?

Tonight as I was getting ready to slip into bed, 

I just felt I had to blog about "Fear".  

Sure enough, I opened up my blog and THERE IT WAS! 

 Good Grief... my last blog was about "FEAR".

Have you ever had a thought that just wouldn't let go... but ya didn't know what to do with it?  Well, if your reading this....  then won't you join me?

What are we really running from?  Oh, I don't mean actually "running".  No, that would mean you're exercising.  Hey, that's true.  There are many people who take up "jogging" and don't realize they enjoy it because it so "cathartic" to their spirit.   Running ... RUNNING... just running!

Wow,  this is too deep for me.  I think it's time to take an assessment of what's "RUNNING" through my head.  Yap,  it's running so fast I can't even see what it is.  But, I know it's there.

Changes  that happen in our life, in our world....    can certainly cause us to feel "insecure", "scared", "weak", "apprehensive"  A N X I O U S...   Hummmmm 

a little like.... "fearful".

Changes that we feels we have NO control over
Changes that came about through NO choice of our own.
Changes.... that "rock" us like an earthquake.  Shaking the foundation beneath or feet causing us to have a sense that we can't balance ourselves.

Since my blogging is all about "HEALTH and WELLNESS"...

let me reel myself back in

FIRST: Stop and ask "Am I afraid?"   BUT DON'T ANSWER right away.... really think about the choices you are making lately, the emotions you've been feeling lately,  the words you've been using lately... Then ask yourself again "AM I AFRAID?"

Are you "A F R A I D"?? of the answer you may have in your heart? Many times our Mind Ignores what is in our heart.  It's called DENIAL.  Our bodies feel it, Our bodies react to it (elevated blood pressure, inflammation, decreased immune system, insomnia, headaches... etc etc etc

Hey, It's ok, we are fragile humans.  Until we stop and exam our choices we may find ourselves "running".... needlessly "RUNNING" expending a lot of energy running "no where".

 The root of "anxiety" is Fear (click here to see the link)



Ask these question:

"Do I experience Joy?"   

"Do I experience moments of Peace?"  

"Do I at times feel Relaxed"

2 Timothy 1:7

 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Put a FACE on what scares you!  

Then dig deep into your soul and find the David in you.  Yes, David.  Ya know.

David and Goliath.  

He faced the BIGGEST GIANT  of ALL. 

 He was able to do this because of  his Faith.  

In fact, the world wanted to equip him with a suit of Amour. 

 But, all he needed was HIS FAITH.  Faith in the GOD of the Universe

the GOD who knows us ... knows our every thought... 

knows our hearts

knows what scares us

WHO LOVES US  

And FAITH swallowed up FEAR.

Ok, That's it ! 

NOW...  Listen to YOUR heart
Then SPEAK UP  because "YOU ARE listening" ya just don't know it.

Ciao and Salute to your Health and Wellness!

PS
Running from Fear is sometimes running to the Refrigerator and soothing yourself with a carton of Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream! 

What we "choose" can give us the "blues"

because it leads to a 

 high "BMI" (isn't that cute?)

GO LOOK IT UP : What is your BMI

pss
I blog, to blog....

A four letter word or A five letter word

Is your life ruled by a "four letter word"?

Oh, I know you don't like to say it... but are you living in it?


Don't get excited... the word starts with "F"
               (oh, what did you think I was saying? Ooooo need to clean your mind up)

  F E A R !  

I mean it!  Clean up your mind

Detox your Mind

Take inventory... are your thoughts centered in Fear?

Negative words being used?

I could quote verse after verse after verse... about fear 

But let me encourage you to RENEW your MIND

Center your thoughts

Surround your thoughts  in WORDS OF FAITH

Ooooo  what about that?

Where is YOUR FAITH?

Ecclesiastes 11:10

When all is said and done, clear your mind of all its worries. Free your body of all its troubles while you can, for youth and the prime of life will soonvanish.

Romans 12:2

² Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

1.  

GO ...... Think! 

 Live a Life of FAITH not FEAR..... 

By Detoxing your Mind!  

Drench your mind in Word of "A living God"

2.

3.

Gotta GO...    

Again let me say.... ya I know it's your choice to choose:

FAITH not FEAR 

to guide your thinking.

to guide your life

I'll blog on this HEALTH TIP again later!

Salute to Your Health and Wellness

Ciao!     

Go "Balance yourself" or GO "Blog yourself"

WOW
It was in April 2009  that I began Blogging FOUR YEARS AGO!   So Surprised! 4 years !!!!

 It has evolved into more than just a place where I can 
"talk to myself" (although I still "freak'uently" do)

This "blogging thing" that  I love  is my  self examination and  discovery of the following:

True Health and Wellness 

is obtained when we seek Balance

_jesus

 Balance  is when we daily!

    Feed  & Exercise

our 

Spirit,  Mind & Body

SO, 

Stop and take a deep Breath and then  Exam the condition 

      of your Body, Mind and Spirit!

"The Unexamined Life is Not Worth Living"

Some of What I have discovered during my blogging and seeking truth is the following:

• Being overweight is a symptom of an unbalanced life 
• 80% of illness are rooted in an unbalanced life
•  Animals are ruled by instint & Humans are ruled by habits
• Habits are a product of our choices  and can be changed ! 
• THE war we face is within ourself 
• When we treat ourself with respect we can win the war 
• Our body is a temple and needs our respect  
• Our Spirit is often neglected and overlooked

Ok.... blah blah blah..... blog blog blog...

Now.... GO     " Balance"    yourself !   

Ciao and Salute! 

NOTE:
There is Always Exceptions to what I have said here.... but make sure they are "exceptions" and not just "excuses". 

Oops Not done...

A scientific study  took female rats and divided them into two groups.  It was discovered that rats who exercised  choose the  healthier food when give a choice.  The rats who "were allowed to live a sedentary lifestyle"  choose the high fat foods.   http://ajpregu.physiology.org/content/260/3/R518.short

Ah, Confucius says: 
We are better than rats (right?) 

Don't you see.... when you exercise it signals a message to your brain (chemical reaction takes place)  and YOU will make healthier choices in what you put in your mouth! 
     SO.... Make the Choice to Respect and Balance yourself 


Don't forget what I'm preaching  B A L A N C E 

The Same is true for "exercising" your Mind....  

The Same is true for "exercising" your Spirit... 

Please,  Make Better Choices for Life

Galatians 5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit  is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness...

Fruit is produced when we FEED and CARE for the TREE! 

Ok,  That's it.... I done
