Ten Things I'm Doing To "Lose Weight" This Year

The new year is almost a full day old and the resolutions and goals are being worked on as we speak.  I need to lose a few pounds and am making a few changes to accomplish my personal goals.  The weight I have already started to lose goes beyond the pounds measured on a scale.  Below you will find a list of what I am doing to shed some extra weight I am carrying around.  Feel free to join me on this weight loss program or develop a list of your own!

1.  I am letting go of the mistakes I made last year and will not carry the weight of guilt into 2016.

2.  I am letting go of dead relationships that are weighing me down and investing in healthy relationships.

3.  I am refusing to carry the weight of worry about things that are completely out of my control.

4.  I am continuing on the path of getting rid of debt that is weighing down my financial future.

5.  I am getting rid of excess clutter that is just sitting around taking up space.

6.  I am going to do better at saying "no" to things that don't matter so I can say "yes" to the important things.

7.   I am trying to stop carrying the weight of worry other peoples opinion about me or my decisions.

8.   I won't let fear of the unknown prevent me from taking risks and will put my faith in God instead.

9.   I am going to take responsibility for my future and allow God to carry the weight of what I can't handle.

10. I am going to eat a little bit better, exercise a little more and replace a few sodas with water.

Happy New Year!
