Has Anyone Seen Motivation Running Around Anywhere?

Cause I've lost mine....I go back to WeightWise tomorrow and I can't help but want to cancel the appointment. If I cancelled it, I could get back on track before the next appointment, right? Ok, probably not. It's just like when I say, I'll do better tomorrow...but tomorrow never comes.

Motivation as defined on dictionary.com
noun
1. the psychological feature that arouses an organism to action toward a desired goal; the reason for the action; that which gives purpose and direction to behavior

So, as I'm writing this, I'm trying to remember what my reason is for wanting to change myself physically, emotionally and spiritually. I think part of my recent distraction is that I've only been focused on the physical nature of my journey. I've been focusing on the diet (or lack there of) and the exercise.

But what about the other two components: emotion and spirituality? Where did they go? Or have they even been a part of my equation at all? Did I just ignore them?
I think the answer is 'YES!'

"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31.

Tomorrow night, I will go to my first Celebrate Recovery meeting. When I first heard of Celebrate Recovery, I thought...this isn't for me, I'm not an alcoholic. But the more I've learned about what Celebrate Recovery is all about...IT IS FOR ME! Recovery isn't just for drug addicts or alcoholics. It's also for Control Freaks, Food Addicts, people with poor self-imagine...all of these things distract us from our main purpose here on earth...to serve Jesus!

I'm ready to complete my equation and I know that Celebrate Recovery will help me do that.

That's awesome about going to Celebrate Recovery. I think many of us could belong there if we got real with ourselves. Hoping that you get your motivation (in every part of your life) back soon!!!
