SHOW NOTES

(0:00) Intro

(044) Introducing today’s topic: A Lesson from Ecclesiastes 11:4

(0:58) The back story that led to this episode:

• Client consultation for accountability

• Turning in a food journal to a nutritionist can be scary!

• The revelation that ‘crazy is the norm’.

• We have to learn how to operate our health within the crazy.

(3:58)  Verse from Ecclesiastes 11:4

He who observes the wind will not sow,
And he who regards the clouds will not reap.

• If you wait for the perfect conditions, you are never going to see results.

• Health is a lifestyle, it is not a diet squeezed in between the crazy.

• Learning how to operate within the wind.

• If  you are not ever sowing your seeds, then you do not reap.

• The food you eat should be consistent.

  • Are you eating well most of the time?

  • You have total control over what you put into your mouth whether it’s a crazy day or a calm day.

 (7:54) When a door closes a window opens

• Missing Jesus Camp on Nantucket

• Declare Conference

  • Knowing that I was meant to be here at this time.

(10:15) How I travel with intention:

• What I packed in my cooler:

  • Tessemae’s Salad Dressing for on-the-go

  • Simple Mills Rosemary & Sea Salt Crackers

  • Homemade pesto

  • Sardines

  • Bulletproof Collagen Bars

  • Organic meat sticks

  • Coconut milk

  • RX oatmeal cups

  • Organic chicken sausages

• You can’t leave your health to what is going to be available to you at a hotel.

• Plan ahead to feel well!

• Don’t let the curveball of travel make you a different person.

• Be a bit of an ingredient snob.

• Don’t eat things that are not worth it to you!

  • Cultivating food peace

• Consider who are you and how you want to operate regardless of the circumstances around you.

 (15:14) Perspective from my Self-Coaching Group

• Consider how we use the things that are against us and wrap it around us like a cozy protective blanket (time, travel, etc).

  • Why can’t I stay on track?

  • Using the ‘crazy’ as an excuse, or protective blanket.

  • Fear

  • Ask yourself, what are you using as an excuse in your life as your protector?

(17:58) Do not put God and your health on the back burner:

• God is always there for us.

• Keeping our priorities straight.

• In the craziest times if your life you need to honor your body and your spirit the most.

• It’s going to be really windy for the next two months during the Holiday season.
