I NEVER want to be embarrassed like that!

A few years ago, a friend of mine was hosting a women’s conference. One of the guest speakers called her up on stage… in front of everybody… for a pushup contest! 

YIKES!!! (I was just glad they didn’t pick me!)

It had been so long since I’d done pushups… I didn’t know if I could do even ONE!

So afterward, I thought getting in shape might not be such a bad idea. You know… just in case. 

I had the perfect plan. Every day before work, I was going to drop and do twenty. No big deal.

Day one… I was ready. I was pumped! 

But, before I could do all that, I was gonna need some strength. 

I needed… uhhh… leftover pizza!

(Admit it. Pizza does sound pretty good right about now!)

As you can imagine, after I ate the pizza… I kind of forgot all about doing the pushups. (So much for my workout plans.)

It happens to all of us. When we allow ourselves to lose our focus, we can become easily distracted. 

So, how do we get our attention back on our GOALS? 

Being intentional can make a bigger difference than you think!

• Intentionally throwing or giving that leftover pizza away. (Even though it pains us to do that.)
• Intentionally setting a pop-up reminder on our phone to remind us to exercise when we forget.
• Intentionally reframing our thinking to realize that the momentary pain is well worth the tremendous gain.
• Intentionally telling a friend (the annoying one that will keep you accountable) so we have someone to answer to.

Intentionality can take little tweaks and turn them into GIANT peaks! So last January, I decided to start small. 

I began doing daily counter pushups. (Leaning into a countertop and keeping my feet on the floor.)  I was only able to do 18 pushups at first.

But there’s value in starting and sticking with it every day. Because now I can do 110! 

You won’t get strong in a single day. But inch by inch… it’s a cinch!

What you focus on tends to manifest!  And when you focus on God, He rushes in to do what you could never accomplish on your own!

Don’t quit. Don’t settle. God’s POWER is on the inside of you…  just waiting to be tapped.

Let’s DO this!

Blessings!
