Quit living in the past. We all have our pasts to deal with. We cannot fix it but we can let it go and decide to move on. Pick up yourself from the vicious cycle of the past and live your life to the fullest. Do not justify the past by blaming others. Accept past mistakes but do not wallow in them. Surrender everything to God. Allow Him to work in you, resting in the thought that He will completely erase the past. Loosen up. Have fun. Allow yourself to be like a child all over again. Never allow the past to ruin your future.

Being Motivated

Bear in mind that your thoughts determine how you feel. Captivate your thoughts and filter them into positive tools to become an overcomer. Refrain from criticizing yourself, instead find an opportunity to reaffirm yourself that you made the right choice. Do not blame or make excuses for your behavior, but rather firmly resolve that the change you desire emanates from the very core of your being. Take responsibility, accept and love yourself. Feel good about your accomplishments.

Do not go back to the vicious cycle of worrying especially during eating. This is disrespect to our God. If you have problems you must have to deal with, write them down on paper and leave it behind for awhile. Do not ever attempt to tackle problems before eating. Once you have decided, stop the worrying and do something positive. If things cannot be changed, leave it all to God. Nothing can be hidden from the Lord. He knows your heart, your desires and wants. He also knows your strengths and weaknesses. Always ask for wisdom for you to be able to accept your situation.

Look at the future from a new perspective. You are a new you. Your brain is no longer filled with the negative thoughts, but rather, it is replaced with fresh and new affirmative thoughts that you are a new creation. Create a new list of your priorities and goals. Make a list of positive statements to say to yourself for encouragement. Joy and peace will no longer be easily snatched away from you because it is in your heart. It is your choice to be joyful and at peace.
