It's EASY to EXCUSE our behaviors and JUSTIFY our actions by telling ourselves what we are NOT or why we cannot do something: "I am not disciplined" or "I can't do that" or "I am afraid" or "I am too busy" or "That's just not me."
STOP MAKING EXCUSES! Move FORWARD with CONFIDENCE.
"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control." - 2 Timothy 1:7
Repeat to yourself today - over and over - I am powerful. I am full of love. I am disciplined. Make this a new HABIT.
Only four days ago I had a procedure that left me with a few stitches on the bottom of my toe. This has caused me to walk strangely on the side of my foot with my toes lifted up. Even though I have been healing well, and could put more weight on my foot, it has been hard to shake this weird walk. I have formed a new habit. See, for four days my mind has been telling me that I cannot walk normally and shouldn't put weight on my foot. As I have been healing, this is no longer true....yet, I continue to walk strangely.
Sometimes we are more capable than we think. This weak thinking, also weakens our actions and holds us back from making progress. As the verse indicates above, it isn't just in the areas of nutrition and fitness that we can have this battle between our spirit and our flesh. Have a strong mind. Remember, what you ARE!
And, remember, I am doing this and SO CAN YOU! Make it a Level 10 Day!
