Leanne started us out telling us that we need to be in the
habit of being decisive which can help us to overcome that bad habit of procrastination.
She even gave us the Five-Step Decision Making Process which should make it
easier for us but sometimes we are still indecisive. Melanie went on to share
with us the misery of being indecisive, yet Kara showed us how easy it was to
lay choices out before us, and choose!
So here we are, the decisions are still hard to make. I have
to be honest…I am a Libra, and I am truly a middle of the road, it doesn’t matter,
whatever you want, kind of Girl. Yet when it comes to those hard, tough
decisions, I will seek opinions of others, read about it, and then make a
decisions….
So what if you still cannot make that decision. You are
indecisive, or worse you will just wait hoping that perhaps the right choice
will appear. When it comes to eating and exercising, sometimes we have to
simply start small…one little small choice. I like how Joyce gives us an
example of joining a committee for a month to decide if it’s something you want
to do for a year. It’s the same with eating, and even exercising. I love to
walk and I have even tried jogging a time or two. By trying out jogging a few
times, I realized that even though I felt great afterwards (mentally), my knees
did not appreciate my exercise of choice.
How can you start small? Walk a block, run to your mail box
or do 10 jumping jacks. There are so many ways to start small to see if you
like that exercise. You can do the same thing with food. You have to try some
different things to see what works best for you.
Dear Father,
I want to thank you
for being our father that is loving and forgiving. I pray that you give us the
wisdom to make even the smallest of decisions and help us to learn to me more
decisive. Abba I pray that you continue to open our hearts allowing us to seek
you with each choice that we must make, no matter how small or insignificant. Father I also ask that you continue to give us the love and
strength we need each day.
Amen

We are so blessed with such awesome bloggers!! Thank you Sherry! I did switch water for soda and now it has become a habit to order it at a restaurant. (still struggling at fast food joints where you fill your own glass!) One thing we have started with regards to food and trying new things is our supper is meatless - Meatless Monday. We had spaghetti squash alfredo & salad last week. This week my son made black bean enchiladas! Pretty tasty!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on switching from soda to water Mel!!! I love the food choices for Meatless Monday! Very cool! I am wondering if I could get my husband to do that. I'd love that recipe for the Spaghetti Squash Alfredo AND Black been Enchiladas!!!! Share with us on the page if you will! Kudos to your son! And great job Sherry - small steps - if we make the decision to move forward and take those small steps - good habits are on the way!!!! HUGS, Kelley
