Why Wait Podcast

“You never change your life until you step out of your comfort zone; change begins at the end of your comfort zone.” Roy T Bennett  In life we find things that give us pleasure, help us avoid pain and conserve our energy. The idea that we use to protect us from emotions, pain and uncomfortable situations is a “crutch”. Whether it’s food, shopping, pornography, our phone, video games, gambling, drugs or alcohol we all want to protect ourselves from feeling any pain. Join Julie and I today as we talk about our different crutches that we use to not feel the pain or travel through emotions. When we realize that part of being a human being is experiencing pain, feeling it and then choosing another way that’s where growth comes in. That’s where we leave the comfort zone.  "To be a follower of Jesus Christ, one must sometimes carry a burden and go where sacrifice is required and suffering is inevitable." Jeffrey R Holland www.bethandjulienewellcoaching.com

Julie and I share some goals that we set out to accomplish though using the GROW model as our tool. Join us today as we walk through the process of growth!  www.bethandjulienewellcoaching.com [email protected]

“Conflict is inevitable but contention is a choice.” Dieter F Uchtdorf.  In our journey to transform our bodies, lose weight and have better health are we being contentious or experiencing conflict. In an interview with David Pulsipher this is what he said about the difference between conflict and contention: “some of the most beautiful parts of our world are created through conflict, if you will through the conflict between water hitting against the rocks in the seashore. And so conflict creates beauty. Conflict, when we do it the right way, will take us through a process in which we are co-creators with God. So we shouldn’t be afraid of conflict.” “Contention, on the other hand, is engaging in those differences in a way in which we don’t respect or love the other. So when it comes to human conflict, we can engage in all sorts of disagreements and differences, and out of those disagreements and differences create beautiful arrangements in our families in our workplaces, amongst our friends in our communities. But when we lose that sense of love and respect for the people who are different than us – whether that’s political or cultural or religious or just different personalities – and engage in conflict with anger, with seeing other people as objects and not as people, then very quickly that is what we call contention.” Join Us today as we discuss the reality of experiencing conflict with our bodies but not allowing the contention to creep in.  www.bethandjulienewellcoaching.com  [email protected]

What if you chose to add a filter to your thoughts? What is a filter? Just by adding a simple phrase that speaks truth you can change a negative statement that you say in your brain about your life, body, circumstance or relationships to a positive thought. Thinking, "I am fat" then adding the filter "As Daughter of God, I am fat". Doesn't feel right. The truth and the belief you might have are incongruent with one another.  Try more filters that are true. Remember you have a body and the power to choose your thoughts. Join Julie and I today as we talk about adding a simple filter of truth to optimize your thoughts and therefore your results. “I stand in awe of the miracle of the human body. It is a magnificent creation, essential to our gradual ascent toward our ultimate divine potential. We cannot progress without it. In giving us the gift of a body, God has allowed us to take a vital step toward becoming more like Him. Satan understands this. He chafes at the fact that his premortal apostasy permanently disqualifies him from this privilege, leaving him in a constant state of jealousy and resentment. Thus many, if not most, of the temptations he puts in our path cause us to abuse our bodies or the bodies of others. Because Satan is miserable without a body, he wants us to be miserable because of ours.” Russell M Nelson www.bethandjulienewellcoaching.com [email protected]

What you FOCUS on GROWS! Our thoughts are very powerful. We are having thousands of thoughts each day. What we know is that your THOUGHTS become your results. When you learn to clean up your thoughts, you get different results. "Change your thoughts and you change your world" Norman Vincent Peale. How do you start to change your THOUGHTS? Start to notice them! What are they saying? Sarah Silver once taught......PAUSE, PIVOT and PROCEED. The scriptures warn us to watch our thoughts. Mosiah 4:30, " But this much I can tell you, that if ye do not watch yourselves, and your THOUGHTS, and your words and your deeds........even unto the ends of your lives, ye must perish." If you are looking for a different result in your life take a look at your thoughts. Join us today as we deep dive into thoughts. "Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world" Johann Wolfgang von Goethe  www.bethandjulienewellcoaching.com

“Growth is never by mere chance, it is the result of forces working together“ James Cash Penney  “Between stimulus and response there is a space, in that space is our power to choose our response.
