New Year, New Goals, New Rules

So it’s a new year and everyone has resolutions that may be broken by the first of the second month into the year. What new years resolutions have you written that you may have already broken? It’s ok if you have broken one or two. Get back on them and keep pressing forward! We still have 350 days to cover. So let’s get going! Motivate, Inspire, Change Lives and Jump into Action.

Get your calendar, notebook, journal, dream book, or whatever it is that you enjoy writing your dreams and read what you have written and write some more!  I have realized there are times when you have to look back and review what you have written and achieved (or not) in order to see how far you have gotten.

One of my goals this year is to read more books that will help me reach my goals. I have already read a book by Terri Savelle Foy “Dream Big” and it has impacted my life greatly! If you do not like to read there is also the option of listening to podcasts  or audiobooks. Learn, learn, learn and move, move, move unto a better place, unto a better position, unto a better state of mind. The point is to move and not be mediocre.

I challenge you to get your hands on books, articles, attend conferences and seminars that will challenge you to jump into your destiny. Surround yourself by positive people. Take away the negative and recognize when the negative energy reaches your space.

This year, I am going to jump into action and no longer be a wimp or give excuses. I love the acronym that Florida Hospital has on their welcome card (laying on the hospital bed) when you are admitted as an inpatient or outpatient – CREATION.

C- Choice

R- Rest

E- Environment

A- Activity

T- Trust

I- Interpersonal Relationships

O- Outlook

N- Nutrition

After reading their philosophy, I was reminded that in life there should be a balance. At times, we lose that balance when we focus too much on one thing and then all others areas of our lives suffer the neglect.

So, time to get back in the game to focus and keep the balance going. What do you do when you fall off your list of things to do? What is it that helps you stay on track? Is it a phone app? List of things to do on paper? A planner? All are great and the best part is that you use  what works for you.

Live, learn and move on!

2016 will be the best year ever~

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

The word “boundaries” is what I think of when I read Eleanor Roosevelt’s quote.

Growing up a timid and shy girl I had a few bullies tell me awful things. I knew better and should have said something but kept to myself most of the time. As I grew older I became outspoken and created boundaries. I learned that speaking up would keep me safe but I didn’t do it often enough. I still struggle with speaking out at times but for the most part I won’t let anyone make me feel inferior without my consent. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Phil. 4:13).

What are some things you struggle with that keeps you from moving forward? Do you create boundaries?

Know that you were created for a bigger and greater purpose. How do you overcome from others making you feel inferior?

Scripture, prayer, quiet time and by speaking up are just a few I’ve come up with that helps me conquer all of my fears. They give you courage, strength, wisdom and knowledge.

Reading bible verses can inspire you and give you strength. Prayer time alone with the Father allows you time to talk and listen to what God is telling you. Quiet time gives you energy, peace and serenity. The ability to speak up gives you confidence and builds character.

I encourage you to create boundaries and not feel inferior. I encourage you to seek ways to help you to be strong and stay confident. You were chosen for such a time as this to do big and mighty things.

Psalm 139:13-14 says, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. ¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

Be enCouraged and create boundaries.

Godspeed,

Cindy

wisdom comes from above~

Proverbs 31:26 “She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.”

I’m ending this year with my very first blog post but starting the new year filled with wisdom and knowledge able to share with all godly women interested in growing and knowing more (I am not professing to know more by the way…I’m far from it…I am continuously growing in this journey we all call life). The quote for today comes from Proverbs 31:26 “She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” Growing up in a Hispanic home I was taught to speak when I had permission to speak. I respected my elders, authorities and most especially my parents. They were and still are my godly role models. I learned to be silent in God’s presence through them as well. They taught me that wisdom is not taught but that it comes from Heaven and that it is a gift. My challenge for women today and moving forward into 2014 is to seek for God and His wisdom so you can speak into other women’s lives. Bring yourself to a stillness so you can hear what God is whispering in your ear in order to walk in His fullness. Will you take that challenge with me? Email me at growinggodlywomentoday@live.com and I may post your thoughts on a future blog post with your permission. Please note: no profanity, obscure photos, spam, junk mail, or promotions accepted-they will go to spam/junk heaven. Only godly interests and curious godly questions. I will try to response courteously and in a timely fashion. Thank you kindly~God speed!
