When was the last time you did something that gave you so much JOY that you lost track of time?
 
Live intentionally and joyfully in the present moment.  Dwelling on the past causes depression and regret.  Focusing on the future causes anxiety.
​
The goal is to be present in all you do.
 
How do you like to play like a child?

​Daily invest in J.O.Y. Be joyful always, pray continuously and give thanks for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
 
How do you invest in J.O.Y. daily?

​Are you celebrating yet? What are you waiting for? 
 
Look for reasons to celebrate your success and don’t dwell on setbacks. Every goal is made up of steps. You should be proud every day that you stay on your path, or when you get back on track after a bad day/meal/decision. Set mini-goals along your path and reward yourself when you meet them. 
 
What are you proud of today?

​When we START toward a goal, excitement makes it easy to stay motivated. We are all in. We tackle every new task with energy and enthusiasm, determined to achieve our vision.  
 
Once the ‘new’ wears off, the work begins. Discipline is not a dirty word. Discipline is what it takes to STAY motivated through the middle. 
 
The MIDDLE is where we develop habits that will make our new goal a way of life. 
 
Self-control...one part of fruit of the spirit that is needed to practiced DAILY to reach and MAINTAIN goals.
 
How do you practice self-control to reach your goals?

​Would you like to be … 
longer & leaner 
more flexible 
balanced 
stronger 
less stressed
mentally tough 
 
Would you like learn to enjoy the moment by connecting breath with movement to live in present tense? 
 
Yoga provides these benefits inside the yoga room, but the benefits transfer outside the yoga room to live a purposeful, mindful, strong life for Christ!
 
What benefits do you experience with yoga?  

​Your morning sets the tone for your whole day.  If you sleep until the last moment, skip breakfast and rush around until you run out the door, your are not setting yourself up for success.
 
Reading a devotional or something motivational sets your mind in a positive direction. Planning your food for the day keeps you from making poor meal choices when you are busy, hungry and tired. Eating a healthy, high protein/healthy fat breakfast keeps you satisfied and focused until lunch. 
 
How do you start your day?  

​4 weeks down.
4 weeks to go to achieve your 8 weeks goals.
 
Pastor Kyle Idleman (and Winston Churchill) say Never, Never, Never, GIVE UP.
 
This is a good time to reevaluate. Are you on your way to meeting your goal? Do you need to make a new goal because the first one is already met?  Start Week 5 with the same enthusiasm and energy you had at Week 1! 
 
Restate your Week 1 goal or a new one. Frame as if already achieved...ex I am healthy and alive at 135, even if you are currently 145.
