Taking care of your body

Posted by John Weir | Health,The Best Life | Saturday 25 July 2009 6:17 pm

With most everyone feeling more stress these days it is very important that we all take better care of the most important thing we have… ourselves. Between home, family, work, uncertainty and all the bad news we hear please take time to eat good, whole foods and get as much exercise as you can.

I recently moved my gazelle into the house because it is too hot outside and I have not been using it for a couple months. I have also been trying to make better choices in what I eat and add more fruit and vegetables to my diet.

I also take a multivitamin and Omega 3 supplements each day. I’ve been doing that for a long time and it does help with today’s stressful life.

Vitamin World has a special shipping offer that can help save you a few dollars, and each dollar saved does help.

Look for an Open Door by Les Brown

Les Brown: Look for an Open Door

Most of us spend so much time talking, grieving and being angry about the closed door in our lives, we don’t see the open door. Les Brown, legendary human-potential expert, says our trials and disappointments can take us all to a door of discovery and greatness. Brown shows you how to:

  1. Be Thankful. It’s easy to think about what is missing and ignore what you have. When you develop an attitude of gratitude, you begin to view things from that positive light and start working toward making something happen. Giving up is not an option you can entertain.
  2. Be Thoughtful. When things go wrong, don’t go with them. As you look at yourself, you have to harness your will, you have to be grounded, you have to pause and you have to go within. Begin to clear your head and give yourself permission to accept the reality that is happening. And then turn the page and start working toward where you will go from there.
  3. Be Active. Matt Jones, one of my speakers, wrote a book with the message: If you’re going through hell, don’t stop. Keep moving. Start with small steps and build from there. When you are not active and you’re not engaging in life, you have a tendency to worry and regret and to engage in less-than-useful emotions. It’s very important that you start moving and working and doing things that can give you some headway. The more active you are, the less chance you have of becoming depressed, angry and immobilized with fear.
  4. Be Connected. Many times, people fail because they can’t see the picture when they are in the frame. They think there is no way out. These are people who are disconnected and feel isolated and desperate. But interacting with others provides a number of benefits, including helping us find new paths and new ideas to explore.
  5. Be Patient. Don’t expect instant results. Plug away carefully and consistently, and keep the mindset that things are going to get better even though you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. We are living in a microwave society where we want instant results. But it’s not that kind of party. Patience and a spirit of expectation and trust will help you work to reach your goals and dreams.

90 Day Goals

Posted by John Weir | Goals | Monday 20 July 2009 8:19 pm

Here is something to try. Get out a sheet of paper and some nice pens, something you like to write with. Now get away from noise and other people and think about the next 90 days. What are some things you would like to do during these three months. How about make a goal to read your Bible each day, or to start everyday with thinking of 10 things you are grateful for. How about trying to exercise a little each day, or to eat more fruit.

90 day goals are short term life changers meant to give your bigger goals a kick start. Use these every 90 days and it will become fun.

Dealing with difficult circumstances

Posted by John Weir | Pressures,The Best Life | Friday 17 July 2009 4:59 pm

We all have to deal with difficult circumstances from time to time. The
good news is that we have been given great help so we can manage the
negative situations in life. It is called God’s Grace. His grace is
truly amazing. It not only takes care of our sin problem through the
cross but also strengthens and sustains us every day of our lives. The
Lord never wavers in His good purpose for us, nor is He ever thwarted.
His sustaining grace is the answer to our needs.

Being a Christian does not exempt us from painful trials or unpleasant
situations. The apostle Paul knew this firsthand. When he presented the
good news of the gospel, some believed but many opposed him. In 2
Corinthians 11:23-27, he wrote that he had been in danger everywhere he
went. He experienced rejection, beating, and arrest but did not give up.
God’s grace continually upheld and strengthened him.

He also wrote about personal suffering. Paul called this his thorn in
the flesh., which caused him great torment. Three times he asked God to
remove it but the Lord answered no. Why? Because the Lord said that His
grace was sufficient. It would provide what he needed to succeed. Grace
had already taken the apostle from condemned to forgiven and from
outsider to beloved as God’s child. Because he experienced the
undeserved love of God, this persecutor of Jewish believers became a
missionary spreading the good news about Jesus. The apostle declared
that he was content with weaknesses, insults, distresses, and
persecutions because he had experienced the Lord’s all sufficient
grace. He knew that God would continue to help him in every situation,
and that regardless of his circumstances, living in the favor and love
of God was enough.

Is this true for you today? Is God’s grace really enough? One sure
test that will help each of us as believers, understand where we stand
on the subject of God’s grace, is to measure how much or how often we
reach out to tell others about His grace. If we have experienced God’s
forgiveness of our sins, and the joy of living in His love and care,
surely we will want to share this good news with as many as we can.

However, I find that Satan has deceived many into believing no one will
hear us or no one wants to hear us talk about His love and His
salvation. The truth is, one of the greatest joys of being a Christian
is telling other what the Lord has done in our lives. We do not have to
be eloquent in speech, or quote verses of scriptures in order for God to
use our testimony. We only need to tell others what Jesus has done in
our life, and the joy we have in knowing all is well in our relationship
with Him. Do not focus on how others respond. Learn to find the joy of
obeying the Master’s will and fulfilling His purpose in our lives.
