A New Attitude
How do you readjust your attitude? I would like some feedback on this because I would be interested in seeing some of the techniques you use on a sometimes daily basis to change your outlook on life. For me..this time..I am choosing to focus on how God wants me to act and react. Today for example, as I was reading Romans, I came upon verses that apply to my job. Romans 12:7, "If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well." and Romans 12:16, "Live in harmony with each other. Don't be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don't think you know it all!"
I haven't really considered myself a teacher because I have few clients, but in all actuality I should look at this daily to see how I can be a better teacher to them. I am also a mother and I need to look at how I can better teach them no matter what age they are. God has called me to use my abilities and if I have a negative attitude, I am of no use to Him who created me as such. God created me to serve well. He created me to teach well. He created me to be humble. So that is how I am adjusting my attitude today.
Personally, I am training myself to be the body that God created me to be. He created me in my mother's womb to be strong, to be a mighty warrior for Him, to be healthy, and to live my life for Him in service to others. If I am not striving for these, then I am of no use to Him who created me as such. So how am I accomplishing this?
I hope you are adjusting your attitude today as well and my prayers are always with all of you.

If I am not striving for these, then I am of no use to Him who created me as such. So how am I accomplishing this?
- His Word (It lifts me up and gets me ready for battle)
- Prayer (It lifts others up and deepens my communication with Him)
- Water (Pressing myself to get the water needed for my body)
- Food (Eating like I should and not how I am tempted to eat-snacking IS a problem, so eliminate the problem)(Eat the foods I am supposed to eat and not looking back to the way I ate before this process)
- Walking (Bringing my tennis shoes with me every where I go so I have NO excuse for not walking on a break or lunch or to whatever activity my children are involved in at the time)
- Strength training (Because this excess flab is going nowhere unless I do it!!)
- Getting rid of ALL reasons for me to be lazy. Just because I have time off does not mean I have the luxury of taking time off. Rewarding myself for the small steps and giving myself a small amount of time for me is okay, but not the whole day.
I hope you are adjusting your attitude today as well and my prayers are always with all of you.
