Trust The Process and DON’T GIVE UP!

According to the calendar spring began on March 20; however, IT STILL FEELS LIKE WINTER where I live! We’ve had a few days when the weather was warmer but I’ve still been wearing my coat, hat, and gloves and it’s April. Just a few days ago (yes, in April…we had SNOW FLURRIES!) Just because it still FEELS like winter doesn’t mean that it’s not Springtime. Even though it is still cold, I know and trust that warmer weather is coming! I have faith and trust the process of the changing of the seasons.

What’s my point? Simply this. I just want to encourage you to have faith and trust the process when it comes to the changes you are making in your life, especially at it relates to taking control of your health. You may not see the results you are looking for immediately and it may even seem like you are not making progress but DON’T GIVE UP! Trust the process and keep taking inspired action toward your goals until you get there.

When I initially decided I wanted to “tone my body” I started doing some strength training. I initially did planks (see my previous post How to tone your body without moving a muscle!); but then I started lifting weights. But guess what?! I started by lifting a One-Pound Candle. I graduated from 1 pound to lifting a 3 pound weight, then 5 pounds, 10 pounds, (the most I’ve done is 20 lbs). I didn’t really see much progress at first but as I continued I started seeing more definition in my arm muscles. Yaaay me!

I’m going to be transparent and admit that I have slacked off some and haven’t been as consistent with the strength training BUT I’m determined to NOT GIVE UP on taking control of my health and pursuing other goals! I have decided to faithfully trust the process and keep moving forward. I have a few mentors, role models, and Accountability Partners helping me with my journey and they are instrumental in helping me stay on track.

Whatever your goals are, I want to encourage you to keep the faith and Trust the Process! Keep moving forward. Don’t be afraid to get help when you need it! (And don’t be discouraged when things seem to be moving slowly or you sometimes get off track!). Hang in there and just take it one day at a time. You can do it!

FAREWELL 55! Fearlessly and Faithfully Forward for 56!

faith, happy, health, healthy lifestyle, holistic, wellness, , , , ,

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!! YAAY! #56. Yeah, I said without hesitation or shame! I’m grateful to be alive and on this journey to serve others in a way that aligns with who I am and who God created me to be. I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching and trusting God to help me move forward and not be afraid. (Well, sometimes I do have a little fear but that has not served me well in living out my purpose, so I have decided to exercise FAITH instead.)

MAN! (Or MAANE! as my peeps say in Memphis) I see God moving on my behalf. I’m fully committed to pursuing holistic wellness worthy of the Princess that I am so that I can assist others on their journey in a way that is trustworthy, uplifting, and motivational.

Do I have it altogether? No, but I know that I have come a long way. When I decided to wake up each morning with a praise in my heart and on my lips – just grateful for another day of life – it left little room for the dread and urge to pull the covers over my head that I used to feel upon awakening. The decisions to feed my mind and body with spiritual enrichment, positive inspiration, and wholesome, nutritious food have made a world of difference in my outlook on life. I feel GREAT! And even on the days when I don’t feel my best I’m learning to “Bless the Lord” and trust Him and what He is doing in my life. So, yeah- HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Thank you Lord for my life!

My reflections today lead me to two bible scriptures that I want to share: Proverbs 17:22 “A merry heart does good, like medicine.” and Proverbs 3:5,6 “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.” These verses highlight two components of CROWN TO SOLE Wellness (Optimism and Trust in God). If you haven’t already done so, I encourage you to incorporate these into your life as you move toward an abundant life of holistic wellness. Feel free to leave me a comment of ways that you have found to have a merry heart and what has helped to increase your trust in God.
