How Fit Is Your Mind?

I’ll never lose the weight. It hurts so bad. Why should I try, I’ll never win. I’m ugly, nobody really likes me. — What are the conversations you should be having with God? — right now! Sever depression, chronic pain, hopelessness and social isolation are leading factors that affect people physically, emotionally and spiritually and contribute to the growing number of suicides. Sure, a good workout can release endorphins and group exercise can be a great way to engage with others. But when you’re all alone the loud voice inside your mind is persistent to destroy the good work God has begun in you. It’s time to learn how to avoid injuries and how to be the spiritual spotter for those trying to lift an incredibly heavy burden. Beyond positivity, open your mind to a greater fitness through faith.
