Self-Care: It’s never too late to begin an exercise program!

Self-Care: It’s never too late to begin an exercise program!

As a Life Coach, I encourage my clients to come up with a self-care plan that encompasses many areas for personal growth. Exercise is very important for optimum physical and mental health. Remember age is only a number.

Meet Rita Libman who gave me permission to share her picture (above with me) to offer inspiration.  

We both attended Zumba® classes at LA Fitness before COVID-19. She always knew every step, so I made sure I could stand behind her. She is one of my earthly heroes. FACT: SHE JUST TURNED 88 and takes the same high-intensity Zumba class with me at Retro Fitness Gym in Delray Beach, FL. She danced and exercised all her life, and it really paid off. She is still very well-toned and has the best attitude. No more excuses, lol! It’s never too late to begin!

Consistency and accountability are the keys to success! I have a walking partner and someone else I exercise with at the gym. It’s fun and makes exercise more enjoyable. I hope you will set up your own self-care plan and make exercise a priority. You got this!

Here for you,

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

As we start the new year, it is very important we don’t carry any baggage from 2021 to 2022! It’s time to reset and have a fresh start.

Is there someone in your life you haven’t been able to forgive?

If so, now is the time to ask the Lord to show you how to truly let go and release the person (or persons) into His loving care.

We only hold ourselves hostage when we refuse to forgive. It isn’t that we forget the hurt we experienced, but when we forgive, we remember the offense in a “healing way!” It then allows us to love more freely and embrace the present with a new perspective.

I love how Nathan the prophet lovingly confronted King David about his sin with Bathsheba. Thankfully, David fully repented and poured his heart into the writing of Psalm 51. He was totally forgiven, and in the New Testament, he was referred to as “the man after God’s own heart.”

I leave you with this exhortation from Scripture: “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.”  (Ephesians 4:32) NIV

Jane “Goldie” Winn’s Book Signing Event at The Brooklyn Cafe Show 8.20.21

Jane “Goldie” Winn, author of Rainbow in the Night: A Journey of Redemption, had her first book signing on August 20, 2021 at The Brooklyn Cafe in Boca Raton, Florida. 

Covid restrictions were in place, but there was an excellent turn out. After “Goldie” shared with the audience facts about her book and some of the “behind the scenes,” some people who had read her book came forward and shared the impact the book had on their lives. 

There was a great Q&A to follow with thought-provoking questions. There were giveaways and delicious refreshments! The ambiance was perfect, thanks to the amazing staff at The Brooklyn Cafe.

People bought books for themselves and as gifts for friends and family. A florist dropped off a gorgeous bouquet that happened to match the colors on the cover of the book! A fabulous time was had by all!

To get the book about my life story, you can buy RAINBOW IN THE NIGHT: A JOURNEY OF REDEMPTION on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or Kindle.

Time to Reset for 2021

Time to Reset for 2021

Goldie’s Life Coach Tips for 2021:

  1. Stay in the gift of present living. This will decrease anxiety and the need to worry. Corrie Ten Boom said it well: “Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.”
  2. Trust in the Lord’s faithfulness and sovereignty. Don’t focus on circumstances, and keep up the faith! He knows the end from the beginning!
  3. Forgive often and let go of past offenses. Keep short accounts.
  4. Maintain an attitude of gratitude, and remember praise reduces stress.
  5. Stay content. The apostle Paul reminds us that godly contentment is great gain.
  6. Choose “life giving” activities to help offset “life taking” events in your life. Make a list and choose at least one a day to improve your overall sense of well being.
  7. Exercise regularly, enjoy healthy eating (less processed foods, sugar, and lower carbohydrates).
  8. Sleep 7–8 hours a night, and take naps when your body needs them.
  9. Laugh often. Remember, “…he who laughs lasts longest.” (W.E. Nesom). Watching more comedy and less news will greatly improve your mood.
  10. Take up a new hobby, learn an instrument, or take an online class on a subject that interests you.
  11. Practice random acts of kindness. There is always someone who needs encouragement.
  12. Pray often, worship the Lord, stay in fellowship, and study the Bible.
  13. Don’t focus on looking through the rear view mirror at 2020, but instead, have a forward focus for an exciting 2021 with renewed hope!  

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 (NIV)

Remember…God’s got this!

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)

Pain Points: Forgiveness

Pain Points: Forgiveness

FORGIVENESS IS “A PROCESS AND NOT AN EVENT”

In my book, “Rainbow in the Night: A Journey of Redemption,” I wrote about the forgiveness process in my own life. It was not easy and actually took many years of counseling and prayer before I could truly forgive the people in my life who hurt me. Now as a counselor and life coach, I can look back through the rear-view mirror and understand from a different perspective how very important it is for our spiritual and mental health to begin the process of forgiveness.

It is unhealthy to keep those hurt feelings locked up deep inside our hearts. If we harbor resentment for too long, it can turn into bitterness and rob us from living a joyful and peaceful life.

“Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
Ephesians 4: 31-32 (NIV)

There are many examples of forgiveness in the Bible. One of my favorite passages is the story of King David and his sin of adultery with Bathsheba. That sin led to further sin as David manipulated circumstances and misused his power so that Bathsheba’s husband would be killed in battle. In the end, the Lord used the prophet Nathan to confront David with his sin. Thankfully, David repented, which we can read about both in Psalms 32 and 51.

When David repented, the Lord forgave him completely. It is clear in the New Testament that David’s sin was not mentioned, but instead, he was referred as a man after God’s own heart. That is true forgiveness and redemption.

There are two parts to forgiveness.

The first is admitting our sin, repenting, and asking the Lord to forgive us.

The second part is receiving the Lord’s forgiveness, which can be very difficult for many people.

In my case, there were a couple of sins that took me quite awhile before I could forgive myself. In order to get past that block, I needed to truly accept, at the heart level, Yeshua’s (Jesus’) death on the cross that covered my sins and set me free.

It’s also important to remember that forgiveness is not “forgetting” the wrong perpetrated against us (which could
include abuse). Most of the time, it means we need to seek and receive professional help, set healthy boundaries, and ask loved ones to pray for us. I tell my clients, that in time, we remember our painful past in a healing way so that the Lord can use us to help to others who might be stuck in their forgiveness process.

In my book, I talk about how the Lord helped me in a very specific way to forgive my mother. It was God’s grace that I was able to make peace with her before she died. We need to be “willing to be willing.” The Lord will do the rest as we allow Him to heal and set us free from the bondage of anyone we have not yet forgiven.

I will close with this Scripture that David penned after he was forgiven by the Lord:

“Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.”
Psalm 32: 1-2 (NIV)
