Lifestyle Change!

It’s if not in you, then it won’t come out of you. There’s a saying; “Fake it to you make it”; but “Do it until you become it”, is more beneficial and lasting! 

We ALL, including me, have said something derogatory, held grudges against a person or persons for years, or throw a hissy fit because things aren’t going our way! Now think about what all of theses negative emotions do - Well I’ll tell you; they cause internal harm! 

None of us realize that could be the reason we are on high blood pressure pills or anxiety pills and many more pills that over time can deteriorate some organs. Every pill has a side effect when taken over a period of time, destroy your health more than the reason you are taking them! 

Let’s look at what negative emotions can do 

😡 Anger	Weakens the liver
😩 Grief	Weakens the lungs
😬 Worry	Weakens your stomach
😓 Stress	Weakens your heart and brain
😲 Fear	Weakens the kidneys

All of these emotions lower the immune system and can be a factor of a short life span. Another factor is our diet. What you eat daily is your diet. For instance, if you eat hamburgers and French fries at least 4 days a weak, that is your diet - let’s add doughnuts, candy, pizza, and frozen dinners. When you want to change your eating habits, it’s called a “Lifestyle” change, not a diet; whereas, you are changing how you eat and what you eat for life! 

Now back to negative emotions. Basically they steal your joy, peace and health! 

Now to have peace, you have to let it in you, to have joy, you have to let it in you, to have love, you have to let it in you! What's in you comes out of you - negative or positive! The only way to obtain this is to allow the Holy Spirit to come into your heart and He fills you with "GOOD" things that do become who you are and want to be; because that is Who He is! It is a win-win for you and those around you (Because no one wants to be around unpleasant people. We gravitate towards those who make us laugh and are fun to be around) - as well as for the body, soul, and spirit. 

Galatians 5:19-26 NKJV 

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Recall that the works of the flesh is without God. It has been researched over time that those who have a good sense of humor, laugh often, and maintain healthy relationships, live longer and are healthier than those who do not! 

Let’s Have a “Lifestyle Change”!
