    • 074: Top 5 Secrets to Gain Clarity of Thought & Mind through the Spiritual Discipline of Prayer (Psalm 5)

      There are mornings when my prayer is so simple.  God, please help me today. I need you.  And then I’m off and running. And this is fine - we don’t want to be legalistic or burdensome when it comes to the spiritual discipline of prayer.  We want to foster the mindset that  prayer is a privilege not a must do.  That we GET to pray, not that we have to pray.

      WHO should pray?  Anyone and Everyone.  God is your creator.  He designed you to seek. He created a hole in your heart and soul that will never, ever be satisfied unless filled with Him and His truth. He built you with a mission, a purpose here on earth. He created you uniquely with gifts and talents to be exercised to help and serve others. If you don’t know God, if you long to believe but are doubtful that Jesus Christ died on a cross to atone for your sins, guilt and shame, to offer you eternal life and to give you a fresh start, you only need to call out to Him and tell Him. He is available 24/7. He’s listening and waiting for you to pray.

      WHAT should we pray?  Any thing and everything. There is no topic off limits!

      WHEN should we pray?  Any time and all the time. David models in Psalm 5 that his prayers went up each morning. But if you’re like I am you’re kinda in constant dialogue with God all day long. Maybe evening time is your favorite time to pray.

      WHERE should we pray?  Anywhere and everywhere. Some folks enjoy having a prayer room or a prayer closet, that cozy place to commune with the Lord. Truly every place is the best place to pray. We can pray when we’re trapped in bondage and in prison or when we’re walking in the light, yoked to Christ.

      HOW should we pray?  And this is where it gets interesting. We can order our prayers in the 5 Ps. Not only will we refresh our prayer methods, but we can also gain clarity of thought and mind in the process.

              What does joy do to your brain? 

              • Joy packs a pretty good dopamine and serotonin punch in our noggin that make us want to connect with others.

              • Joy is a fruit of the spirit within us.

              • 067: The Courage to FEEL: Overcoming Bulimia after 40 with LaurieAnn Campbell

                LaurieAnn Campbell, award winning author, blogger, and podcaster shares her journey to overcoming her 30-year battle with bulimia nervosa. According to research from Current Psychiatry Reports Eating disorders, which include bulimia, anorexia, binge-eating, are the most lethal mental health conditions. The Eating Disorders Coalition reports that every 62 minutes, at least one person loses their life as a direct result of an eating disorder. 


                I snagged both of these resources from Amen Clinics where 160,000 brains have been scanned on patients in 150 countries.  As a preliminary side note to today's episode, Dr. Amen writes this on his blog in an article entitled "What 'The Crown' Got Wrong about Princess Diana and Eating Disorders":

                "Based on the brain SPECT imaging work at Amen Clinics——people with eating disorders tend to have abnormal activity in certain areas of the brain. Typical SPECT findings in eating disorders include overactivity in the anterior cingulate gyrus (associated with getting stuck on thoughts and behaviors) and basal ganglia (the brain’s anxiety centers), and issues in the parietal lobe (involved in sensory processing and direction sense and often seen in people with body dysmorphic disorder). Healing the brain with a targeted treatment plan is an essential part of the recovery process."


                As regular listeners know, the Choose 2 Think Podcast we focus a lot on the BRAIN and nueroplasticity.  LaurieAnn emphasizes the importance of accepting the past and moving and looking forward in life.  She encourages those who suffer disordered eating, food fixation, restrictive eating, etc.,  to face their emotions and feelings instead of run from them, to accept the past and live in the moment.  We also chat about toxic vocabulary that keeps those who feel stuck in harmful habits.  Recovered now for ten years, LaurieAnn's mission is to help others, primarily midlife women, to find that peace.  The unconditional love of her sister as well as her faith have proved pivotal aspects of her recovery journey.  You can find LaurieAnn's books, podcast, coaching and social media links IAMTHATGAL.COM.
