I feel like I want to quit so bad this week! Do you ever feel this way?
After running my longest run of the season I’ve been struggling with my mindset. It is totally crazy because I actually did very well on my 8 mile run.
For some reason I’m wrestling with a negative mindset and keep questioning myself … Can I really do this? Am I really strong enough?
And then I go to a long list of “what ifs” …. What if I get an injury? What if I don’t finish the half marathon?
Have you ever done this? Worrying about the future and not living in the present moment?
Earlier this week I shared with you about Chapter 13 in my book Just Live Today. Honestly some days I can live in the moment and embrace what’s right here in front of me and then there are other days, like today, when I struggle feeling overwhelmed, stressed out and insecure about all kinds of things worrying about the future.
As much as I would like to tell you I’ve got it all figured out and I Just Live Today perfectly that simply is not true. Life is a balancing act. When you think about balancing, it does not mean that you are perfectly steady but that you are still slightly juggling things to keep the balance. I like to tell my clients, “Life is about progress, not perfection”.
Leave me a comment and let me know if you are struggling to Just Live Today and live in the moment? If not tell me what you are doing to stay live in the present.

Believe in yourself and all that you are
know what’s inside you is greater than any obstacle Isaiah 41:10 ….you can do this focus on the what if I finish the half marathon strong what if I can be a witness to someone what if through my struggle I can show someone else who is struggling that all things are possible with God what if you turn those negative what if into positive what ifs ?!?! I am talking to myself today too because the what ifs have been working on my mind what if I don’t have the money to pay for the Christian coach program what if it’s too hard for me what if I pay my first payment tomorrow and then I realize I can’t do this But God reminded me through a post I saw from team 4:13 stepping out in faith may require much sacrifice running the journey of life under His grace requires great courage as you strive to be at the place God has called you to rest assured God will honor your effort when you honor Him! Praise His name He knew I was struggling and this quote and your video helped me to remember the mind can be a place the devil will use against you or you can turn it around and let it be a place where God encourages you !!! Let’s allow Him to encourage us today to keep pressing on and say why not me I am worthy !!! Thank you Jesus !!!!!!
Kelly I love how God shows us over and over exactly what we need to hear. That always amazes me the different ways He speaks to us.
You will did amazing at CCI!!! Thank you for your words of encouragement here 🙂 ((hugs))
I did it !! I’m stepping out I took a crazy leap of faith … I am registered for Chrisitian Coach Institute classes start Jan 21 ! Praise His name anything things is possible is a person Believes ! Mark 9:23
I’m so excited for you Kelly!!!! Congratulations!! You will love the program.
Yes, i am struggling too Linda. Had a shocking break up 6 weeks ago.. Ran only a few times since. I usually run 3-4 times a week which are my days off from being a nurse. I dont even have the energy to run a mile right now. I’m with ya.. Second guessing why am I still single at 40, what is wrong with me, ehy did he say he loved me then dissappear.. But.. Prayer life has become focus, bible study has replaced runs.. So I am getting stonger in faith now I need to strengthen my body again.
Tonya I’m so sorry to hear what you are going through. I do believe in God’s perfect time (even though we want it faster!) He will provide the perfect person for you. I pray that you find great comfort and a deeper connection with God during this season of your life.
You are loved perfectly by God. Sending you ((hugs)) today~
Yes! I struggle with Just Live Today. I always have. I am trying to work on that by re-focusing and praying when I find myself worrying about the future and the “what ifs”. I pray to live in the spirit and ask God: what does he want me to do?
Thanks for being real here Cate. It is hard work to “Just Live Today”. It takes intentional work on my part over and over throughout my day to slow down, breathe and be in the present moment. ((hugs))
I do struggle with Just Live Today sometimes. I think that health issues have really dragged my spirit down, even though I pray and know God has a plan for me. Lately, I have had myself a “pity party”. Thank you Linda for giving me encouragement and inspiring me to go to God for help with my insecurities. I AM WORTHY. Yes, thank you, Jesus. 🙂 Hugs!
Melissa I’m so sorry you’re struggling with health issues. It can be very discouraging. I pray that during your down time God will fill you with His peace that surpasses all understanding. Do not be discouraged. Healing is right around the corner. Sending you lots of love, hugs & prayers.
Oh Linda I can not express how grateful I am that you do share your struggles and that you let us see you after and during runs\workouts. I needed this encouragement more than I can express. I have been in such a bad health place the past week and it has kept me from writing but the truth is I have let the bad health place become a safe pit if that makes any sense. I so desperately want to believe what I know is true that I am chosen, equipped, appointed and anointed by my Abba! I am writing Bible Study content for Proverbs 31 Online Bible Studies and Thursday will be leading my second live Bible Study event and even though I know that God was with me tonight as I made the final touches, I know He planted the material in my mind and helped my fingers to write and I have the ultimate confidence and faith in HIM I don’t in myself.
Your Blog, launch team and the P31OBS ministry are such precious gifts that keep me grounded in God’s word and truth. I AM WORTHY! Thank you Jesus!
I would love to have that necklace to give to my friend’s 23 y.o. daughter, who is a lung transplant recipient, presently in hospice care. We’ve been praying for a miracle. She is #Worthy Of A Miracle.
