Take a Deep Breath

There are times when you just need to close your eye's and take a deep breath !  Hold it in and very slowly, consciously release it…. while in your mind you are expelling all the emotional energy held inside your soul.

Yet it take the awareness of your breath.  Your life flow.  Your very being to center yourself and zero in on where you are and more importantly who you are.

I am a living breathing being that is a child of the Living God.  My souls purpose is to please my creator.  

I can only please my Lord when I trust in Him (His word).

Tension, worry is self centered.  It is all about "me".  But Trust and Faith is all about  "Him".   

This is where I want to live… in Him… in His word… in His promises.

For instance, He loves my children so much that He gave his life for them.  Why worry about them?  Just trust that the Lord wants their souls in His Kingdom.  He can touch them, protect them, heal them etc.

I will take a full deep breath… breathing in His Love and expelling Me and My Fears and worries

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:6-7


Amen
Good night

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?



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


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"  
.... 15 minutes a day


2.
 GO.....  Exercise 
..... at least 15 minutes a day

3.
Go.... Eat......  
....Organic 
colorful fiber filled 
nutritional life giving foods



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!
