  • E142: Emotions follow Actions!Ultrarunner Carilyn Johnson on running, habits, and discipline.

    I recently met Ultrarunner Carilyn Johnson on Twitter. When I learned more about her, I reached out to see if she would be interested being on the Podcast! I'm thankful she was willing to be on the show. Carilyn is a mother, lawyer, ultrarunner, 4 x Team USA 24 Hour team, Adventurer, Open water swimmer, and scuba diver. She is also a graduate of the New School of Cooking.  In this conversation we discuss the following: How exercise helped Carilyn during the grieving process. How Carilyn first got into running. The value of keeping a routine. How it's never too late to get started when it comes to running. Knowing that we go further than we often think.  Understanding how emotions follow actions.  Why it's important to do the mundane actions like making your bed everyday.  The value of having a coach.  The benefits of fasting. You can find Carilyn on Twitter @CarilynJohnson

  • E141: How to handle problems
    I love books. I recently picked up a book someone had gifted me. It’s called “Success is Simple” by D. Paul Reilly. It’s a book from the 1970’s. It’s a quick read. One of the chapters I really enjoyed is called “Problems.” In it, the author shares how to handle problems. Challenges and problems will come in every aspect of our lives. How we handle them will help determine how successful we may be. In this episode, I share how to handle problems according to the author.

      I’m currently leading a study on Meet-Up. We’re going through 1 and 2 Thessalonians. I’m calling the study Excel Still More. 2 Thessalonians 3:1 caught my attention with what Paul asked pray for from the saints! It’s something we need to be praying about as well.

      The messages Jesus gives to the seven churches in Asia Minor serve a s a reminder for us. Jesus knows who we are. He knows the good and bad. He sees all. What He sees really matters to Him.
