Are your thoughts ruining your life?

If you’re reading this know it isn’t by accident. You were meant to read this and begin the process of letting go of your limiting beliefs.

 

You see, far too many of us are walking around with a ‘poverty mindset’ and then wonder why we lack those things we truly desire.

Whatever you are FOCUSING on the most will manifest itself in your life. Do any of these limiting beliefs sound familiar?

🔹️I’ll never be able to afford it.
🔹️I don’t believe I can do it.
🔹️I’ll never lose this weight!
🔹️They just have it easier than I do.
🔹️I’ll always be alone.
🔹️This is my lot in life.
🔹️I’m just not motivated.
🔹️I have no energy!
🔹️I’m just unlucky.
🔹️I’ll start tomorrow. [procrastinate & avoid]
🔹️I’m such a failure.
🔹️I failed before so why try again?

All of these are self-fulfilling prophecies, and the MORE you repeat them to yourself the MORE you will struggle with them. Think of your thought life as a big magnet. Whatever dominates your thinking the most is what you will attract into your life.

Make sense?

There is abundance EVERYWHERE and you don’t have to struggle for the rest of your life.

You can either CHOOSE to believe that you will always struggle or you can CHOOSE to believe that you will OVERCOME.

Let go of those negative, unproductive, patterns of thinking and being. They aren’t helping you and are only keeping you stuck.

Begin today to FOCUS on the life you want. Follow that up with affirmations that reflect the life you want, and then take ACTION.

Yes, it will be hard to do at first. You will want to reject what you’re doing, but in time you will start to accept this new information.

Remember that in order to RECEIVE you must first BELIEVE. ☝️

Do you need to take out some mental ‘trash’ and renew your mind? Are you confused as to where to start and feel overwhelmed?

If so, I want to help you on this journey. I too struggled unnecessarily for a long time. Then one day I got tired of how my life looked and how I was living. I was tired of not being happy, using food to cope, and missing out on really living life. I had allowed myself to become a prisoner in my own body because of the weight.

I had hit my ‘bottom’ and to be honest that’s the best place one can be at times. You’re left with no other choice but to fight or die. I chose to fight and here I am today. I want you to choose to fight as well.

There will be no perfect time to start, so just do it now. You’ll try to talk yourself out of it like you’ve done a million times before. I want you to stop doing that. That is just a tactic used by the enemy to keep you stuck and miserable. Take a leap of faith and trust that God will help see you through this.

Reach out to me today for a phone consultation. I can work with you no matter where you call home. I have clients all over the globe who are finding freedom from those things that used to hold them back. You can be one of them too.

Go here to set up the call that can radically change your life.

Also, be sure to grab my FREE fat loss guide. It also has a sample menu for you to follow.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Tips on dealing with life’s struggles

I have received a lot of messages from folks regarding depression and this time of year. I know that for many it is a joyous time, but for some of you it is very hard. Maybe you’re dealing with the recent loss of a loved one, a relationship has ended, etc.

No matter the case, I want you to know that I get it. You are not alone and you don’t need to feel guilty or ashamed for FEELING depressed.

If you have followed me for any amount of time you know that I will not say, “I AM” depressed, but I will say that I feel depressed. When we say, “I am” we are owning that thing or feeling, and I don’t want to own depression, but I will allow myself to feel it and process it in a healthy way.

It has been my experience working with clients that far too many Christians suffer in silence when it comes to depression. They feel as if they aren’t ‘spiritual’ enough, so that’s why they feel depressed. You’ll even hear other Christians tell them to just “pray it away!”, as if it was that easy. Now, I do know, and believe in the power of prayer, but comments like that are incredibly insensitive to the person suffering before you.

I’m going to share my testimony of sorts and how I handle dealing with depression. This isn’t advice for you to take, but what I choose to do.

Many people are shocked when I tell them that I have dealt with depression, and anxiety for the better part of my existence on this big ball of mud.

There is no shame in ‘FEELING’ depressed or anxious. I say “feel” because I am very careful in how I choose my words surrounding anything. I won’t own depression or anxiety. I won’t say “I am depressed” but I will say “I feel depressed.” By doing this I have not personalized it or made it about me, it is just a feeling I’m experiencing at that moment.

I think the important thing to keep in mind is that everyone has dealt with this at some point and time, it’s just to what severity. I have found that those who deal with, myself included, often felt like they are the only one or that they are somehow defective.

There are a myriad of reasons as to why someone may deal with depression or anxiety. If you have a history of emotional, sexual, or physical abuse and didn’t have some level of depression or anxiety I would be shocked.

These types of childhood trauma, at a young age, literally change the brain. As a child you were constantly on guard, waiting for the next thing to happen. Being in this constant state of ‘fight or flight’ keeps cortisol [stress] levels high, even when the danger is gone. This usually will carry on into adulthood. This is just a snippet of the research I’ve come across, and it helped me as a survivor, to understand what I was dealing with.

I will share how I have managed this in my own life. I am not against antidepressants, but no longer use them. I chose to come off of them as they just made me ‘flat’ emotionally. I never had any really good days or bad days, I just felt ‘meh’ most of the time.

This has worked for me and it has been proven in studies to work for many who deal with depression and anxiety.

  1. I pay very close attention to my diet. I ensure that I get all the necessary vitamins and minerals my body needs to function. Many people who eat a diet high in processed foods, sugar, fat; tend to be more depressed than others.
  2. I strength train, and move my body however I can. This release of endorphins helps tremendously with depression and anxiety. It also give me an outlet for all those feelings I’ve stored up.
  3. When I feel my mood shift I gently remind myself that I have been here before and that it will be okay. I just make myself do those things that help me maintain, such as being mindful of diet, and continuing to exercise. Most who become depressed just say “f**k it” and crawl into a hole. I have found that I have to act against those impulses. I know that if I let myself go there that it will only get worse. I have to force myself to act in spite of how I feel.
  4. I have a support system. It’s very easy to feel like you’re the only one who feels this way, and that can lead to isolation. This is where the ‘enemy’ can really beat you up. You need to surround yourself with people you can safely share with.
  5. I don’t self medicate with food, alcohol, etc. I allow myself to feel EVERYTHING. If you run from this you’ll only compound your problems.
  6. I watch my intake of caffeine. If you have issues with anxiety this can exacerbate the problem.
  7. I don’t allow others to minimize my experience. There are many who say “just get over it.” If it were that easy I believe many would. No one who has truly suffered from deep depression wants to feel that way.
  8. I give myself permission to be human. No one is ‘depression’ or ‘anxiety’ it is just something you’re dealing with at the moment. Remember that no one has it all together, and this doesn’t define me, it’s just a part of my story that I can use to help others know that they are not alone.

I hope this helps someone out there to know they aren’t alone. If this message resonates with you hit reply and let me know about.

PS- Take a look at how some of my e-books can help jump start your fitness journey. They are packed with relevant, easy to apply health and fitness tips.

You can use the 21 day body reset to finally find out what foods work best for you for maximum fat loss and overall health. This comes with a meal plan and shopping guide.

My 30 day devotional will provide the motivation that you need to keep going on those days that it gets hard. It is packed with tips on fitness and daily scripture for you to meditate upon for the day. It also has an area where you will journal your thoughts and feelings for the day. You will focus on what went well and what you can improve upon. This is a great tool for being able to go back after the initial 30 days and see just how far you have come.

Do you wonder if you’re an emotional eater? do you find yourself starting out on a new health plan only to sabotage yourself a few days or weeks later? If so, my coaching guide is for you. It will explain in detail the importance of nutrition, why macros [carbohydrates, protein, fat] are ALL needed, and important, in your daily diet. It also will provide you with in depth questions you can answer to see exactly where you might be ‘stuck’ so you can begin to work on, and be rid of, unhealthy ways of coping. You no longer have to use food or anything else to numb out or ‘escape’ the trials of life.

You no longer have to struggle with losing weight and getting in shape

“At Last!  A Weight Loss Program That Actually Produces Long-Lasting & Life-Changing Results!”

Discover the Tricks to Weight Loss That Bobbi and So Many Others Have At Born Again Fitness…

 

Dear Friend:

It’s really true…You CAN Lose Weight and Keep it Off FOREVER!  And, it really isn’t difficult…once you let me show you how…

Now, for all my skeptical friends out there, let me share this with you first to set your mind at ease and show you how my faith based coaching program is different – REALLY DIFFERENT!

How is it different? 

You mean, other than the fact that IT WORKS? 

That’s easy.  It’s different because…I UNDERSTAND.

Allow me to fully introduce myself and tell you what I mean when I say, “I understand your struggles with weight loss.”

My name is Brandon and if you’ve followed me for any amount of time you know that for years I struggled with my own weight. I was up to nearly 300 pounds, miserable and felt hopeless. I had tried every diet under the sun until I created a program that allowed me to finally be free from emotional eating, lose body-fat without killing myself and the gym and going on unsustainable, deprivation diets.

I take a mind, body, and spirit approach to weight loss and overcoming life’s hang ups. I have found that if you neglect any of these interrelated areas that change will only be short term. Think back to how many diets you have been on only to gain the weight back and then some. This is because you only focused on diet and exercise. This battle is a mental one as well and if you don’t address the ‘why’s’ behind how you got to the place you are, and aren’t aware of your patterns, long lasting change will continue to elude you in spite of your best efforts. 

So, as you can see, I very much understand the weight loss battle, and I know what it takes to lose weight.  I’ve dedicated my life to helping people lose weight and feel great!  Now, I want to help YOU lose weight and feel great, too!!

Fair enough?

Go HERE to get started.

Need to know a little more?

Sure thing. Let me share some more details about my weight loss program and how you can start seeing results immediately. But first, let me overcome one of the biggest concerns I get when I talk to people about my weight loss program:

“Is this program really right for me?  Am I going to be successful this time?”

 or

 “Is this program really right for me?  Is it going to be too complicated or hard?”

That is a very legitimate concern, and actually one I think needs to be asked.  Unfortunately, in today’s quick-fix and make-money-fast world a lot of good people are sold on weight loss programs that just aren’t appropriate for them.  Many of them are too generic, while others are way too advanced, and some are just downright INSANE!

The short answer to your questions is, YES you will be successful, and NO, it isn’t too complicated or hard. It’s easy to follow and can fit any busy lifestyle. 

Now, let me explain how why…

 

“Finally!  A Weight Loss Program That’s Appropriate for ALL Fitness Levels.”

 

  • I take into consideration where you are at right now and create your customized 4 week training program from your fitness questionnaire.
  • You will be able to do this from your home or the gym, whichever you prefer.

  • You’ll receive unlimited email support so that if you have a question or concern, you’ll be able to have all your questions answered.

Seriously, this program works for EVERYONE who wants it to. I bet one of my successful clients started off in a very similar spot as you. It doesn’t matter if you live in Idaho, another state, or anywhere else in the world. I can help you achieve your fat loss and overall fitness goals…

 

 

“Now It’s Your Turn To Lose Weight, Feel Great, and Look The Best You Ever Have.  You Deserve It, Too!”

 

I really am excited to help you lose weight and get in great shape.  Helping others find freedom from the bondage of weight and live their best life is my passion – I’m 100% dedicated to helping you lose your unwanted weight NOW!

With a program so simple to follow you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner.

  • You will no longer have to worry about feeling guilty or ashamed about eating certain foods because no foods are off limits!
  • You can enjoy foods that you actually like and still reach your fitness goals.
  • You no longer will have to endure days of being sore because you killed yourself at the gym.
  • Say goodbye to hours of dreaded cardio and the treadmill.
  • You can actually begin to wear clothes that you like and can ditch the baggy stuff.
  • You no longer have to guess as to what to eat, how much, or what exercises to do as I have done all that for you. 
  • You’ll have access to me via e-mail so you won’t have to go this alone. You have your own personal coach!
  • You will have the support and guidance that you need to finally be successful.

It is as simple as you showing up, following the program,and getting MASSIVE results. 

But I have to be honest with you as there is a downside to all of this. You are going to have to buy all new clothes to fit your newer, slimmer body. I hope you don’t mind. 😉

Let’s get started.  

God bless,

God is good

Matthew 17:20-21
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say unto this mountain, Remove from here to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Math was my MOUNTAIN. As you know I’ve been asking for prayer in regard to this and for a positive outcome. I believe that the enemy will place people in our path to try to block us from becoming who we are truly meant to be.

My weight loss story

I am going to elaborate on my background before I share my weight loss experience today. I grew up in a pretty chaotic environment. It wasn’t all bad but it helped to contribute to me being a very obese child and young adult. I was absolutely miserable although I would try to put on a smile and act like I was happy.

I ate everything under the sun, and would have probably eaten the sun if I could. I was an emotional eater and closet eater. With each bite I felt more and more shame. I felt absolutely worthless and hated myself.

You see, It is my opinion that no one who is obese is truly happy. Yes, I believe that we can have good moments, hours or even days, but I believe that the weight obscures who we truly are and helps to keep us hidden.

I struggled with my weight for almost 15 years. The only reason that I began to lose weight was because I slipped down a flight of stairs and grabbed the rail with my right arm to catch myself and strained some back muscles.

Some lessons i have learned on my own journey called life

Here are some lessons I have learned in my 38 years on this earth. I have had to endure some real mess but God saw me through to the other side. I thank God for my experiences for they have made me the man I am today. I am grateful for the people He saw fit to place in my path that have aided me, encouraged me and saw something in me that at the time I couldn’t see in myself.

You are just as important as anyone else. Your needs, wants, desires and feelings are just as important.

Trust your ‘gut’ as it will almost always lead you in the right direction.

Don’t believe those lies that were spoken over you as a child. There was nothing wrong with you then and there is nothing wrong with you now.
