What Needs to Be Changed?

When's the last time you've taken a good "stock" of yourself? For me, it's been almost a year. There are some things that I know I need to work on changing; things I've been dealing with for quite some time. I've either dealt with them and they keep resurfacing because I never got to the bottom of them, I never dealt with them at all so they're still here, or I deceived myself into thinking I'd dealt with them only to find them back again.

Is this you? If so, I want you to take some time to think of what those things are. For myself, they are the following (major areas to be broken down as we go):

• my weight and healthy eating
• family obligations
• church hurt
• relationships with the opposite sex
• fear
• finances

If you'd like, you can get you a journal (binder, notebook, whatever) and dedicate it to this process. Studies show that maintaining a journal is often thereapeutic in nature and can offer a pathway toward understanding ourselves in an intimate way. It can also help bring healing... This is my expectation when I finish - to be free from all of the wrong ideas about those things and for them to be replaced with the right things. In short, for my mind to be renewed.

If anyone is helped by this as we go, please feel free to send me an email at kimberly.theroadtofreedom@gmail.com

Until next time...
