New Normal - Let's Do This June!

Hello June!  It's a new week AND a new month so Hello Fresh Start!  It's been too long since I've posted but I thought what better month to get my blogging groove back?!  June is typically the month I reflect on my goals for the year (see this post).  Plus this is perfect timing to talk about the new normal I've allowed!

So a few weeks ago, I got my hair done- nothing new because I'm always changing up my hair!  This time I thought I'd try a new color and that color is BLONDE {yikes}!  It was so funny the first two days I would literally get startled when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror lol.  The second day this happened I just said to myself 'this color will be normal to me soon'.  This statement to myself resonated with me and prompted me to reflect on other 'new normals' in my life!

The hair that made me reflect!

New Normal: A  previously unfamiliar or atypical situation that has become standard, usual, or expected

As I thought the fact that my new hair color would soon become normal for me it prompted me to think about other unwanted things that have become normal like my eating habits.  I started to think about how I've been eating my emotions (literally) like I used to do when I ballooned to weighing over 200lbs.  As I reflected on this I knew if I didn't refocus I would be back in the same situation I was in a few years ago!  It will not be standard, usual or expected for me to use food for comfort.  My Heavenly Father is the only one who can truly comfort me and satisfy me- not food.  I know this all too well right?!?!  Right!!  

So you must live as God's obedient children.  Don't slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires.   You didn't know any better then. - 1 Peter 1:14

More often than not, people find themselves in unwanted situations they would have never imagined themselves in because they've accepted it as normal.  Don't let this be you!  As you reflect with gratefulness on the first half of 2015 I encourage you to take inventory of your habits.  Have you developed an unwanted habit?  Start replacing those unwanted habits today.  We know that 'we become what we repeatedly do so watch what you're becoming!  I know for me my eating habits will change (along with this hair color lol).  I'm committed to using food for fuel not for comfort.  I'm committed to being a great steward of the temple God blessed me with.

What are you committed to?  If you haven't been consistent with your commitments just recommit!  Let's finish the last month in the first half of 2015 strong!  Let's do this June!
