Your friend,

We all know that living life with great intentions is like riding a dime-store electric horse. It may be exciting for a minute, but it will never get us anywhere. It takes ACTION to move forward.
 
We have already identified what we need to do before the event to prepare. Then we identified the limiting beliefs, or lies that tend to lead us astray, followed by their corresponding truths. Now, it’s time to identify the actions we plan to take once we are finally in the anticipated situation.
 
What will you actually do when Mom surprises you with dessert and you are already full from her amazing mashed potatoes? Will you ask to take some home and eat it for breakfast? Will you have only one bite? Will you lovingly tell her you’re full? Or will you put it on George’s plate when she’s not looking? The choices are endless, and they are your choices. Identify as many actions as you can possibly take and choose which ones you feel will work best in this situation.
 
Going into these situations armed with a specific PLAY is empowering, and greatly increases your chance of leaving that situation with peace and satisfaction, rather than the old regret we’re all too used to. ​

 
I hope you will be joining me NEXT WEEK for one of our FREE Sample Group Meetings and experience for yourself what it’s like to join a From Food to Faith group. Click HERE to register for the day and time that works for you. 

​Today, we’re learning about the second step in building an effective play, and that is using our “L”, which stands for “lies.” What are the lies, or limiting beliefs that you tend to believe in that situation that make it difficult for you to follow through on your goals.
 
For example, maybe Sunday dinner at Mom’s house is difficult because she makes all of your childhood favorites, complete with dessert, and you usually end up eating way past full and leaving with regrets.
 
Some of the lies you might be buying into could be:

• “If I don’t eat this all right now, I’ll never get it again…or at least for a long time.”
• “The more of this ‘comfort’ food I can get in me, the more ‘comfort’ I will feel.
• “Mom worked so hard to make this, it would be rude to not eat it all.”

Once we examine the lies floating around our heads, it’s important to take a second and challenge those lies, and identify the truths associated with each one:

• “Mom has been making this for 30 years. I’m pretty sure she’ll make it again sometime, or I could ask her to teach me how to make it.”
• “Eating past full is never ‘comfortable’, no matter what kind of food it is.”
• “Mom worked so hard to make all of this, but my stomach has a limited capacity. I can take a little of everything, or even ask her to send something home with me to have later when I’m hungry again.”

 
Simply examining our own thoughts and challenging them creates space in our minds for the next step of creating an effective PLAY, which is identifying the actions we will take.  We’ll learn more about that next week.
