Good morning!Breath prayers have been the topic this week. If you missed the other days, read back about this.After looking into all the health benefits of breath work, I looked up all the benefits of prayer and wouldnβt you know many of them are the same. So, to me, it is the beautiful combination of using the body we were given to refocus our attention and the minds that have the ability to cause healing as we think differently. God made these resilient bodies and minds and we get to honor and thank Him even through our most basic function ...

"Being good at what you do is partially about competence, but not exclusively.Two other things that matter:Reliability. You do what you say you're going to doβon time and as expected.Enthusiasm. You're excited to be here and eager to work on this problem.Skills matter, but in many cases it's your reliability or attitude that separates you from the pack."James Clear

"Highly focused people do not leave their options open. They select their priorities and are comfortable ignoring the rest. If you commit to nothing, youβll be distracted by everything."James Clear, Author of Atomic HabitsI will add my own 2 cents here :)Focus can be different for each person, but the choice to honor your priorities is all yours.If I prioritize people over my plans, then that is going to look like my plans changing to meet the needs of people. I have sometimes allowed my plans (aka checklist) to override the person in...
Breath prayers
Good morning!Breath Prayersβ¦β¦such a wonderful way to be in a moment and get anchored in Godβs peace and truth!My friends and I did a devotional on the Bible app (YouVersion) that talked about how to incorporate breath prayers.As you breathe in, you think or say one phrase and as you exhale, you think or say the second phrase. I love this as a simple way to relax and remind myself that God is still in control and I am His. There is a lot of science behind the act of breathing in and out intentionally and how it affects so many reactions in...

No what ifs
Encounter Godβs Heart...Act on FaithWhen fear has chained us within gates of complacency, itβs time to do something radical. To stop cowering behind the questions and put an end to our internal debates. To face the challenges of βWhat if this or that happensβ and find resolve in our courageous answers.Sometimes we just have to run as hard as we can into the unknown. To stop letting the fear of what may or may not happen hold us back. When weβre frozen in place and faith feels scary, we need to find God. We need to courageously confron...

no more chains
Good morning!One of my favorite things about what I get to do with On Fire Fit is to hear about things that are going on personally for people. One common theme for many of us is the feeling of not being able to get rid of chains that hang on us or that we hang onto!Those chains come in many forms: addiction, unwanted personality traits, past regrets, shame, habits that donβt serve us, mindsets that resurface when we least expect it and any number of other things that seem to hold us back from the best life we could hope for.Iβve been in Ps...

βIf I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud.βC.S.Lewis
Love that
Good morning!I smiled so big. Really, God? Again?!Over the past few days, each and every day, I have had a Bible verse pop out at me in something I read. Later that day, in a different source, the exact same verse would be repeated.Some would call that a coincidence. Some would say βeh, no big deal.β But I say βhallelujah!β My God delights in showing me things that He knows will remind me that He is watching over all my details.Today, I had been in an online Bible app and the verse imbedded was Psalm 107:9How He satisfies the souls of t...
