It isn’t knowing what to do that produces change—it’s having the incentive to tackle the hard work it entails. We have to get motivated, to get energized to change, and then stay motivated and energized long enough to form a new habit.

It’s 11:00 p.m., you just got back from another long day of ministry two time zones away from home, and you’re sitting alone on your hotel bed, exhausted. Tomorrow you fly back home through O’Hare, but right now all you want is to relax for a half an hour or so before bed. As you’re flipping through the channels trying to find ESPN Sports Center, there right in front of your eyes is a graphic, X-rated sex scene...

Last time I wrote how being driven by distraction causes us to respond to impulse and urgency to the detriment of self care and relationships. This has a domino effect in that, when self care and relationships are not adequately met, we find ourselves driven by needs.

A client seems to be his own worst enemy. He started well, but ran out of enthusiasm/confidence along the way. The “why” seems weak in the face of the discouraging results or boredom or painful experiences.

I don't feel depressed. I haven't lost interest in these things. I just don't do them. I'm excited about the possibility to accomplish my goals and the idea of being an independent woman, but I have trouble acting on it.

How do I get that focus and discipline now that I am out of such an oppressive and damaging marriage?

Women often find themselves hiding. Ever since Eve chose to eat the apple, mankind has been covering themselves up with the fig leafs. There are a lot of reasons.

For Christians, the first "bite" is to acknowledge that we can't do it alone. We need each other and we need empowerment from the Holy Spirit. When we begin to rely on our own strength to reach our goals, we are setting ourselves up for failure.
