I'm working on a new program (and maybe even a boo I'm working on a new program (and maybe even a book 😉), so I'd love to know your favorite Psalm and why it's your favorite. #WalkThroughPsalms #Psalm #DailyDevotions #AmWriting #DevotionsForWomen
Consistency beats intensity. How many times have Consistency beats intensity. How many times have you heard (or even said), "I can do x for 60 seconds/an hour/1 week"? (X being something crazy or insanely difficult.) "I can sprint for 60 seconds." "I can walk for an hour." "I can cut out sugar for a week." But sprint for the next hour? Cut out sugar for the rest of your life? Go back to January 1 and read all those posts, maybe even your own. Are those resolutions still happening today? Likely most are not. Why? They weren't realistic. They were extreme. Consistency beats intensity. It's impossible to maintain a high level of intensity over a long period of time. You wear out. You burn out. Insert Mile A Day Challenge. One mile. That's it. You can walk. You can run. You can bike. You can get on the elliptical machine. You can do half mile in the morning and the other half in the evening. One mile a day. Instead of feeling like you have to get a gym membership and workout for an hour a day five days a week, commit to one mile each day. One mile a day is something you can keep doing, but an hour a day? That's hard to maintain. And consistency is what gets long-term results. Isn't that what you want?

And there’s more to come for you. ⁠ ⁠ No matter your age or stage of life, God still has plans for you. ⁠ ⁠ Job had everything, then he had nothing. His life was hard. But God was always with him. Job could have folded. Because Job continued to follow God, He was blessed. The Lord blessed him in his old age because there was more to come. God still had plans for Job’s life. ⁠ ⁠ Are you living your life with expectation, or have you given up? Have you allowed things to distract, discourage, or sidetrack you? Have you spent so much of your life trying to become someone God never meant for you to be? Has a lifetime pursuing weight loss and struggling with your body image caused you to miss out on living life? There’s still time. ⁠ ⁠ You’re too old to be chasing the perfect body, but you’re too young to keep hiding from the life God designed for you. There’s more to come. God has placed you where you are because He needs you there. The people around you need you. God loves you. He wants to bless you and use you. Will you let Him?⁠ ⁠ Action Step: What’s on your bucket list? What have you put off because of body or age insecurities? Be open to God’s blessings in your life.

"for in Him we live and move and have our being" A "for in Him we live and move and have our being" Acts 17:28 Every challenge I do has a Bible verse tied to it. This is the one for Mile a Day that begins in just over a week from now. (Although I saw someone at Farmers Market this morning who told me she's already getting started!) God entrusted this one body to you. One way to show appreciation for it is to move it. Regular movement will help you clear your mind and give you opportunity to get outside and commune with the Lord. Plus, it gives you the opportunity to go exploring and stop to listen to the sounds of rushing water 😉 Day 21 #sirunstreak22 ✅ Sign up link in bio! #sirunstreak #eyecatching #stillirun @stilliruncommunity #saturdaymorningrun #go1aday
One of my morning requirements is fresh air. Some One of my morning requirements is fresh air. Some days it's as simple as walking outside to get the paper. Other days, I run a few miles and do my alley workout. How will you get some fresh air today?

Gratitude changes everything. Today's mental heal Gratitude changes everything. Today's mental health tip: Adopt an attitude of gratitude. What is something you can be grateful for today? One of the things I do to help me fall asleep is go through the alphabet and think of one thing from that day for which I'm grateful that starts with each letter. For instance, "A" might be the air I breathe. "B" my body that ran that day. "C" my car that got me where I needed to go. What are you grateful for today? #AttitudeOfGratitude #BeGrateful #ThankfulThursday #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthTip

Today I'm planning my content calendar for June an Today I'm planning my content calendar for June and scheduling some posts. Mental Health Tip: Make plans. Set a schedule. It's easy to get overwhelmed with our to-do lists. In areas where you can, make a plan. Have a schedule. Work ahead and plan ahead when possible so that when things pop up, you won't get overwhelmed. Do you use a phone app or paper planner or something else? I can't imagine life without my Kitlife Planner! #MentalHealthTip #MentalHealthAwareness #MakeAPlan #HaveAPlan
{About automation and trust} If you've been aroun {About automation and trust} If you've been around for awhile, you know that I get a small flower delivery on the 16th of every month. It's a standing order my husband set up over 21 years ago - one month after we were married on December 16, 2000. On January 16, 2001 I was pleasantly surprised to get a flower delivery. I was surprised again on February 16, 2001. When I got a delivery on March 16, 2001, I finally noticed a pattern. That's when I asked Kent if this would be happening the 16th of every month. He assured me that it would until he told them to stop. Thankfully Cossairt Florist is still in business, and I haven't done anything too terrible to prompt Kent to stop the order. 😇😂 He had to set up the order, but once he did it became automated. Now I trust that it'll arrive on the 16th of every month. I'm taking a group of women through #Moderation365 nutrition education. They are becoming more aware and mindful of their hunger and fullness cues. They are setting up things like Daily Nutrition Commitments and learning to increase satisfaction factor so they never feel starving or stuffed. Once they do this work, it'll become automated, just like my flower deliveries. At first, the flowers arrived at my work. Over the years, I changed jobs, so he updated the florist. There was no interruption in the monthly delivery. These women will also go through seasons when they might need to make adjustments, but it'll be a small tweak that won't interrupt the patterns and healthy habits they have in place. The key is that they've learned to trust their bodies and trust themselves around food. #Moderation365 is the forever solution to never dieting again just as I trust I'll always have fresh flowers in my house every month 😉 #HealthyHabits #ConsistencyIsKey #MakePeaceWithYourBody #MakePeaceWithFood #ListenToYourBody
