Fit Bit (starting over again 2013)
Dear Kimberly,
Each year I start
out with New Years resolutions. Each
year I break them all and give up within
the first couple weeks. How can I start over and stay with it this year?
Happy New Year,
Starting over again
Dear Starting over,
You are not
alone. Many people have given up on New
Years resolutions, simply because they never seem to work. I believe they don’t work because they are
developed with an inadequate motivator.
It’s a New Year, great but so what?
To succeed at your resolutions, “Seek first the
Kingdom of God”. If you are
changing your behavior to honor God then you will have a meaningful internal
motivation and the ultimate in accountability.
1. Write down the behavior you would like to
change
2. Find and write down scripture that support
your motivation.
3. Pray for strength, guidance and endurance.
4. Forgive yourself and keep trying. Regardless of how many times you mess up make
a commitment to keep on keeping on! Most
of us do not change overnight. It is a
continual effort in the right direction that produces success.
To succeed in your New Years resolution this year, let God
work on your heart and He will show up in your behavior. The easiest way to let God work is by reading
His word.
Mathew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His
righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.”
Philippians 3:14
“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Be fit, be blessed and Happy New Year!!!
Kimberly
