Is Something Hiding That’s Keeping You From Being Successful In Your Fitness Journey?

So this could be a little deep. Just throwing that out there before I begin.

Do you have some little “secrets”? Not like straight up naughty skeletons in the closet, but things that maybe you’ve told yourself so many times that now it’s just part of your normal way of thinking?

Some examples:

  • I could never run a marathon, I’m just not an athlete.
  • I could never track my food or cut out x, y, z…I just don’t have the self control.
  • My schedule would never allow for me to workout.
  • I’ve had (insert your number) kids, my body will just look like it does now forever.

Anyone? Pretty sure most of us have thought, or convinced ourselves of one of the above at one point or another. I’m here to help remind you that Christ doesn’t want you to believe those silent, or maybe not so silent, “deals” you’ve made with yourself to justify why you can’t lead a healthier life.

Take this story in John 5: 5 “One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” 7“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.” 8Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” 9At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked.”

Here is a story of a man who had justified in his mind that he was destined to be where and what he was already, and Jesus spoke truth and conviction to him. Once the man snapped out of his silent deal he’d made with himself, he was able to overcome his situation instantly.

Find someone that you can trust to hold you accountable, someone who is a believer and can support and encourage you to stay the course. (If you need someone who meets those criteria, message me) Let go of whatever it is that you’ve convinced yourself is the reason for your lack of action, and trust that God wants you to lead a healthy and joyful life.
