🪞 Self-Connection vs. Self-Focus

🔗 Self-Connection is:

✨ Self-connection says:
“I’m checking in with myself so I can show up in alignment with God’s truth.”

🪞 Self-Focus is:

😓 Self-focus says:
“I have to fix myself to be enough.”

💡 In short:

One is Spirit-led.
The other is self-led.

If you’re in a season of learning to take care of your health, emotions, or habits, self-connection will help you tune into what’s really going on—so God can meet you there.

We use the world’s standards to judge ourselves - disconnection

What a fun call!  If you weren't able to join me on zoom...here is the replay!

We talked about the "All or Nothing" Cycle and how to break it to lose the weight we want.

Here's how the cycle works:

How do we break this cycle?  The key is to ask yourself, "What do I think "thinness" will bring me?

Listen in to see how we can create the feelings of confidence and happiness now...so when we want to lose the weight, we do it from a sustainable place!

We also talked about how our 3 week bootcamp will help you break this cycle and create a life of commitment and sustainability!
