Hi ,

Is fear ruining your health?

It's not something mentioned by other health programs, but I believe that this emotion sabotages good health intentions more than any other.

It makes sense when you think about it. Fear is expectation with alarm. You imagine your current situation changing for the worse if you take action. Fear drains the energy you need to move forward.

If you're having problems staying focused on your health goals, then I want you to write down the answer to the following question. Be honest; no one will see it but you.

• Cindy feared that she would receive increased attention from men if she lost her excess weight. She subconsciously gained weight for self protection because the extra fat on her body made her feel insulated and obscured her womanly curves. She feared if she lost the weight, she would become more attractive and she wasn't sure if she could handle the attention.
• Darlene feared that she could never eat her favorite foods again and would be doomed to a life of deprivation and denial.
• Sharon feared that her emotions would overwhelm her. She ate when she was upset or bored. If she wasn't eating, how would she handle her emotions? She wasn't sure what she would do with herself.

Either fears of success or fears of failure can sabotage your efforts. In particular, fears of failure can trigger your inner critic, who lies that failure means that you are worth less as a person.

And since fear is from the enemy, you cannot allow it to become a mental stronghold and keep you from being your best.

• Cindy has faith that she can reach her perfect weight and can handle the extra male attention as it occurs. She can celebrate and appreciate her womanly curves.
• Darlene has faith that as she pursues a healthier lifestyle, she can make room in her eating plan for all of her favorite foods. She decides that she can save them for special occasions rather than eat them every day.
• Sharon has faith that she can manage her emotions with God's help. She can pray, praise, worship, and study God's word to nurture her relationship with him and be empowered with strength and emotional stability.

I challenge you to expose any fears that are holding you back and ask God to empower you to shift from fear to faith.

I guarantee with that attitude shift, you will enjoy better health results in reality sooner than you think.
