GO TO GOD FIRST with Kim Dolan Leto

Goal setting and achievement is an important part of living a life of fulfillment and confidence. Why is it that we often struggle to achieve the goals we have in our heart? What keeps us from taking the steps forward toward our goals?

All too often, I get questions like this in the F.I.T. Sisters In Christ community, "why do I feel unworthy of success? I keep doing things to sabotage myself."

Is there a place in your heart where you feel unworthy of succeeding at your fitness goals?

Meet Kerry, a F.I.T. Sister who gave me permission to share her story in hopes of helping you today.

Kerry came to me frustrated that she couldn't put on muscle after being bedridden from multiple surgeries. After a few meetings, Kerry's real problem surfaced.

The emotional pain from her recent divorce and the guilt she felt for the change in her kids' lives was hurting her deeply.

Her emotions were sabotaging her best efforts to care for herself and reach her fitness goals. She felt unworthy of success.

Have you ever felt that way?

I asked Kerry to write out these scriptures in first person, and I invite you to do the same.

This is who God says you are…

• I am redeemed and forgiven. (Colossians 1:14)
• I am given a fresh start. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
• I am loved. (1 John 3:1)

Understanding who God says she is, helped Kerry get free from thinking she didn't deserve to succeed because of what she went through.

I want to remind you today, that there isn't anything that can separate you from God's love!

Here's the truth:

You are worthy!

God only made one you.

He calls you His masterpiece. You are a piece of the master!

It's time to activate and accomplish His perfect plan for your life, and you need to feel worthy to do it.

When you know who you are in Him, you'll stop settling for less.

You are loved, chosen and forgiven. But you have to forgive yourself!

If this sounds like you, will you do that today?

In Him, you can! Remember You are Strong. Confident. His.

With all that is going on in the world, you may be tempted to pause or even freeze. The enemy uses fear to keep us from chasing our dreams and growing closer to God. We must recognize that fear is a liar with the mission of robbing us of peace, joy, health, and even the pursuit of our dreams.

As with all battles, we need to arm ourselves with the word of God and intentionally choose FAITH over fear!

Did you know fear not is in the bible, 365 times? That's a fear not for every day!

So why did God mention this so much?

Fear paralyzes us.

• Fear of what other people think
• Fear of the economy
• Fear of the unknown
• Fear of failure

They all do one thing – keep us stuck in our head and from taking action.

But in God, we can do things even when we feel fear!

Locate your thoughts right now, are they fear-filled or faith-filled? I want you to think about this question…

What has fear stolen from you?

…health, career, sleep, peace?

Did you know? Fear is a thief and a liar, but Faith is a rock and a comforter!

Think about our question:

I have let fear steal my dream/goal to _______________, but in God, I'm doing it ______________ .

Fuel your fire with faith. God is with you, friend!

In Him you can,

During uncertain times we need to remember, we don't have to have all the answers and things don't always make sense; peace comes when we put ALL our trust in Him.

In this episode, I'm going to share 3 tips to help you tap into your inner overcomer: mind, body and soul! The action steps covered in this episode will help you feel better now, fill your heart with faith and intentionally put your hope in God.

Mind: Mental and emotional health is a real struggle for many of us, I encourage you to cast your cares on Him for He cares for you. – 1 peter 5:7

When negative or fearful thoughts appear, recognize that this is the enemy and fight fear with faith. Look back at all God has brought you through and let that fuel your confidence.

Body: Right now we all need to focus on our well-being over weight loss.

Focus on self-care and time with God. This is not a time to feel pressured to lose weight or change too many eating habits. Conversely, it is also not a time to overindulge. Don't eat your emotions, give them to God!

Soul: Put your hope in God, use this time to deepen your faith.

John Paramore wrote something really special, it says,

"I'm only truly certain about one thing, God has a plan. My hope isn't in the food supply. My hope isn't in the cure. My hope isn't in the hospital. My hope is in Him. That's more than enough!"

Our emotional and mental health is more important than ever, let's guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus! Amen!

We need to come together.

Whatever you're facing today, you're not alone. I'm here praying for you, for our country and I want to stay connected.

God only made ONE you, friend.

I know it's not easy, but stay motivated to take care of yourself inside and out, from head to toe.

God has work for you to do!

From my heart to yours, God Bless,
