Goldie’s Life Coach Tips for 2021:
- 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.”
- 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!
- Forgive often and let go of past offenses. Keep short accounts.
- Maintain an attitude of gratitude, and remember praise reduces stress.
- Stay content. The apostle Paul reminds us that godly contentment is great gain.
- 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.
- Exercise regularly, enjoy healthy eating (less processed foods, sugar, and lower carbohydrates).
- Sleep 7–8 hours a night, and take naps when your body needs them.
- Laugh often. Remember, “…he who laughs lasts longest.” (W.E. Nesom). Watching more comedy and less news will greatly improve your mood.
- Take up a new hobby, learn an instrument, or take an online class on a subject that interests you.
- Practice random acts of kindness. There is always someone who needs encouragement.
- Pray often, worship the Lord, stay in fellowship, and study the Bible.
- 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)
