Spark Faith Podcast

What are you committed to? So, if you’re like I was - I kept promises to myself way less thanI kept my word to others - For so long I hid behind people pleasing, traffic, getting busy, got overwhelmed, the inevitable “something happened and I…”

It’s like having a cloud over your head though right? What does it feel like when you let yourself down? - I’d love to know how it makes you feel...

Proverbs 25:13-14Reliable friends who do what they say are like cool drinks in sweltering heat—refreshing! Like billowing clouds that bring no rain is the person who talks big but never produces.

If you’re unsure what your typical excuses or what may also be described as a well designed lie to yourself….

**Ask your self a different question….

***What is consistently more important than keeping your word to yourself?

****Who else do you think this is affecting in your life?

I can tell you - all those excuses - were affecting my parenting. Your kids do what you do - not what you say - they will also learn to self sabotage and not keep their word to themselves. So much more...

How often do you flake on your friends? How often do you flake on yourself?

I’m going to continue on this path of mental/soul/gut health. I believe that when we get these three parts on the right path, we can really start to transform all the parts our life for God. And my guess is, if you're really honest, and like I was - you rarely flake on your friends - you rarely let them down. However, you let yourself down regularly and then beat yourself up for it!

So, as important as it is to get help when you need it. There’s also a time to do the work, and start getting real with yourself.

Biblical - Galatians 6: 2-5 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. 4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, 5 for each one should carry their own load.

This episode is for your heart, from the heart. My heart is heavy today with everything that has happened this week and I am here to encourage you....

*I believe that our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health are the cornerstones to living the BIGGEST life God has planned for us.

*I believe that we are to get and stay healthy FOR God, not out of guilt and shame but love and gratitude.

*If we persevere and stay uncomfortable, I believe our world will change when we step into THAT GIANT God-sized life.

You can all do a little better everyday, with everything.

*You can be more kind to ourselves FIRST.

*You can learn that your validation, self confidence and self worth is from God, not things you do, or your job, or anything else in this world. *God put you here for a purpose, ON purpose and knows everything - the good, the bad, and the messy about you!

*AND He LOVES YOU! Psalm 139:14-16 Jeremiah 29:11

SHALOM:Forming your own mental health strategies

Means complete wholeness and wellness - not just peace - inner peace

800 days of hard

KA shared traumatic reality

Body keeps score

NS has taken a hit

Empathy is low

We need a team: Not the time to go it alone!

Jeremiah 29 tells the exiles to find shalom…to the exiles, they were sent to Babylon for 70 years - we all may feel like exiles in our own hometown. He told them to settle down in a home, plant gardens, and eat the food they produce

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. 14 I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land.”

Empathy is low

People we normally count on don’t have the bandwidth. We need a team: Not the time to go it alone! Researchers and professionals tell us we need 4-7 people on our mental health team. Inner circle friends, Psychiatrist, Psychologist, social worker, therapist, counselor, pastor/priest, spiritual director, Life Coach.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗹? I don't have it all figured out...

I was reminded yesterday and this morning, I must have a strategy to fill my soul and 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝘅𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆, 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻) 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲.

4 things:

1. Dive into Bible study and other positive mindset reading.

2. Move my body!! Run, walk, listen to uplifting music, praise and worship or country are my choices.

3. Garden 4. Bake. But only if Cooper is in the house to eat all the extra calories.

I ate donuts this weekend! Just so you know I’m not perfect. Every once in a while I splurge - big time! Not even going to kid you, those donuts were no joke YUMMY!

However…

How about you? Did you stick to your plan and totally nail it this weekend? Or did you slide down the slippery weekend slope? This is where I see so many clients really self sabotage. They do great during the week. But…then Friday and one glass of wine and by Saturday night all bets are off and they’re totally off plan!! Only to be frustrated on Monday because they gained the three pounds they lost the week before.

And then I remember WHY I only do it periodically:

1. Physically, I feel gross today!! Mild headache, kinda bloated, a little sluggish and less productive

2. Mentally and emotionally, my anxiety is higher, the sugar highs and lows leave my blood sugar unstable

3. I’m craving again - I don’t like any of those feelings.

Now I could really beat myself up - which happens to a lot of you and the slippery slope gets longer - and this certainly used to be my pattern until I figured it out. (Learn HOW I figured it out on my upcoming Masterclass - link for info below) ALL that reminds me of my ultimate WHY!

Because I grasp God’s enormous live for me - as best as humanly possible, I know I love myself, so I can love on you… I know I deserve to feel good everyday. You don’t have to be the victim of your own choices and live in that shame. I know that when I make the healthy choices, I feel topnotch I can do more for God and my family. God gave me His best, He deserves my best.
