A typical News Years Resolution includes becoming healthier or looking better. You may not know how you're going to do it, but you're determined to shed some pounds this year. Maybe you've had success before but you keep slipping back into old habits.
What's missing?
Balance.
That word that's overused and seems impossible to achieve. Balance.
For those of you who don't know, I've been struggling with keeping weight off. I'm a part of a great gym/nutrition program through FXB. I've had multiple successes including losing 15 inches at one point. Unfortunately I haven't been able to keep my body transformation. One reason is because I am not balanced in other areas of my life. A big one is my relationship with the Lord. I pray before bed and occasionally throughout the day. But I'm not growing in my faith or challenging myself. When you're too focused on food macros, getting to the gym and work it's easy to let God slip into the cracks.
This week I decided I am going to pray for 15 min. before bed each night and read a few chapters of a spiritual book, Resisting Happiness, each night. I'm ready to become more spiritually balanced.
I'm not the type of person who makes New Years Resolutions as I feel they are pointless. I strive for smaller, more measurable goals. But this year I might just become a believer. My goal is to become more balanced in order to become healthier- not only to lose weight or feel better in my skin, but to feel healthier in mind & spirit.
Stay tuned for more posts on ways to stay balanced to become an all around more healthier you.
