Are we SERIOUS about changing our eating? By Cheryl Graves

Article by Cheryl Graves

If we’re serious about wanting to live healthy lives, we must be more mindful about the daily choices we make. Too many people want the benefits and results of a healthy life but fall short by making UNhealthy choices each day.
We, humans are ridiculous like that! We make Negative Choices, expecting Positive Results! For example, there are basically two choices when you’re confronted with an eating decision. Choose HEALTHY and you Feel one way. But choose UNHEALTHY, and you Feel an entirely different way.
Can I ask for you to notice that I never refer to your Choices as a way of DIEting!  GOD created food for the Purpose of Fueling what HE had created for HIS Purpose! When I go to make food choices, myself, I look at them as Healthy or UNhealthy! Which helps me be reminded what food was crested for. Keeping my attitude towards food in perspective! Food falls under the Physical need in the Power of 4, NOT the Emotional or Mental! Ponder on that for a Moment. Have you gotten food totally out of its Context and Purpose?
We all are sitting right now where our CHOICES put us!  Every health choice you make is a lot like opening a door. Some doors lead you to a new and healthier life, and some doors lead you to more of the same life you’ve been living. IF, one of your WHYS is that you want to make HEALTHIER CHOICES when it comes to Food, then just give this exercise a TRY! Not a physical exercise, but the Mental part of your POWER of 4!!
Each time you go to make a CHOICE about  nutrition or exercise, let each option represent a door. If you open up the healthy living door, you spirit is lifted, your body is grateful and you close the gap between who you are and who you(GOD) WANT TO BE.On the other hand, if you choose the UNnhealthy door, you feel your spirit sink, your body ache and you continue practicing  habits from the past, that have gotten you where you are today (Recognize The Enemy Here, please)! Give this mental visual a chance to work for you, and see if it  helps you CHOOSE WISELY  more often.AWARENESS is the key to CHANGE, so try this new way of looking at your health choices and see if  it might be just what works for you! Look at it this way, what you have done in the past, hasn’t helped you be Healthier. So, at least whole heartedly try a method that has been proven to create wiser conscious CHOICES! So  I ask you out of accountability, “What door will you choose today?”
JESUS came to give us LIFE, and to Give It More ABUNDANTLY! We all need to QUIT Settling with our choices! In EVERY area of our LIVES! Allowing GOD to grow us into that Proverbs 31 Woman we were created to be for HIS PURPOSE!
So, I encourage you to put this method into Practice,  and Expect Different Results! Doing so, will help this become a way of life for you, causing you to be in Control of your CHOICES, and that Empowers us all!
There’s the attainable Challenge that will BLESS you. How blessed you will be knowing that you have made Choices that will bring about a Healthier Vessel, that GOD can use, to change others lives, as well!
See…Nothing on this Journey really is about US…yet, let ALL that we do “GLORIFY OUR GOD!”
