As we wrap up this month's focus on having a growth mindset and being a learning leader, here's a simple reminder: as leaders, relationships are central to everything we do.  Episode 193 invites you to consider five ways practicing a growth mindset can help you navigate the local and global challenges that continue to emerge. Some of these practices are simple. Others take ongoing practice and persistence. Together, they remind us that as Christ-centered leaders, the love of God we know in Jesus is central to everything we say and do. Leaders who model for others the practices we share in this episode are shaping a culture that is based on love and kindness. If you're knee-deep in frustration, fatigue, or fighting, perhaps this episode will help you take a step back and consider a different way forward.  Here are the five practices we explore in this episode: Understand your sources and the perspectives of your sources. Practice curiosity. Test what you're seeing, hearing, and reading. Ask “Does this add up?” Integrate what you're learning into your leadership. Be generous with yourself and others.  Now, although we've listed the five practices above, there's much more to each of those statements on the episode. Take the time to listen to the episode and you'll be practicing what we talk about. And, there's a bonus lesson we didn't list here! Write it down/Talk it Out This is your opportunity for integration. Which one of the five reminders we offered do you do regularly? Which one will you start integrating into daily life? What informs your point of view? Why?

Growing Up in 2020 1 Timothy 4:1-13 Dr. Mike Decker February 9, 2020 Big Idea: I don’t have to be a monk to attain spiritual maturity; but practicing ascetic disciplines do help. 1. Be discerning about who you follow. ➢ False teachers often emphasize works over grace. • Abstinence from people. • Abstinence from sex. • Abstinence from food. 2. Ask: Does this have eternal traction? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/palmharvest/message

You know the saying “it’s not about you”? But sometimes, it really IS all about us! Third trimester, I was frustrated. I was about to launch my podcast and was feeling a lot of fear. I hadn’t been prioritizing my workouts and I was NOT sleeping. I felt pretty miserable and stressed out. My husband got home that night and did something minor and I told him “I am NOT feeling supported. I need more support from you”. And he very calmly said “if you’re not feeling supported, is there an area where you aren’t supporting yourself? Of course, in my tired, moody state, that wasn’t exactly what I wanted to hear, but one of the things I love about my husband is that he works with a coach and works on his own issues and often, the things we are working on mirror each other! I thought about it and asked myself...how can I better support me? Am I setting myself up to succeed in the areas that are important to me before I expect someone else to?And when we can really look honestly at ourselves, we can determine what we need to do.   If you aren’t supporting yourself and you’re expecting others tol, it’s like pouring water into a cup with holes….there will never be enough to fill up the cup.  When I am really supporting myself, I’m high vibing on life. I FEEL support from those around me. Opportunities literally fall out of the sky. There’s no room for negativity or drama and it’s as if people can sense it. It’s YOUR job to support yourself, to make yourself happy, to love yourself. How can you apply this to every day? To what you’re doing? To what you’re eating?  Ask: Does what I’m doing now support me? Does what I’m doing now help me achieve my goals? Does what I’m doing now help me become my highest and best self? Do what you can to be happy, because when you’re happy, you can do anything!   For more info on the host, visit, www.rebeccacafiero.com and follow Rebecca on Instagram @rebeccacafiero !

The Poem is a 4-week series in Isaiah 11, a section of poetry a few of us have thought a lot about over the years. As a result of that thinking, it has had a large influence on how we view things and do things at Timberline Old Town & Everyday Joe's. The hopeful fruit of a month in the poem together is a reminder of our identity: congregationally and individually.    TEXT Isaiah 11:2-4a   TAKEAWAYS A few times this week, read Isaiah 11:1-4a. As for the Spirit of Christ to guide you as you... Reflect - try practicing the Examen prayer. Write down what was brought to your attention in reflection. Ask “Does it burn good?” Look for new life. Where is there unexpected beauty? Rest - Set the list aside. Breath - In, out. Rest in you, resting in me. Listen to The Poetry of Self Compassion   BENEDICTION Risen Christ, Come near to us who are in        places of death, Come near to us who are               struggling to surrender, Come near to us fools        and make us your fools        and let us practice            resurrection in a world        that fears death. Amen  

Becky and Diana explore concepts from David Allen’s book, Getting Things Done.  In Getting Things Done, David Allen describes a 5 step process to master productivity. The steps: Capture, Clarify, Organize, Reflect, and Engage. Capture: Get every idea, task, and to-do item out of your head and put it somewhere. Whether you use an app, a whiteboard, a notebook, or something else, find a place you trust to store your ideas. Developing this habit prevents the cognitive load of incompletions (Roy Baumeister).   Clarify: Process the ideas. Ask “Is this important to me now?” Ask “Does it add value?” Use the 2 minute rule. If it only takes 2 minutes to deal the item, do it immediately.   Organize: Where does this belong? Give ideas and projects a priority. What do I need get done today?   Reflect: Review what your tasks and projects so you learn to trust your choices. Schedule time for reflection. Reflection creates more clarity.   Engage: DO SOMETHING! Take the first step. Don’t let worrying about the end result paralyze you and keep you from moving forward.

The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 245: Izabella Wentz and Thyroid Medications Intro (0:00) News and Views (0:40) Sarah and her kids went to her local March for Science! Sarah feels passionate about her adopted home and about science, so this was a perfect event for her! Check out her Instagram for her pictures! Stacy hasn't done any marches with her kids, but loves going into DC and talking about the history in the city Stacy, meanwhile, sold her house, but unfortunately the buyers backed out and it was very disappointing. Our guest is Izabella Wentz, the Thyroid Pharmacist! (7:21) Izabella is the "Thyroid Queen", a professional pharmacist who has developing a ton of resources for people with thyroid conditions Sarah was in her documentary The Thyroid Secret recently. She has a new book called The Hashimoto's Protocol, a holistic, functional medicine look at treating and living with Hashimoto's Izabella is very interested in helping people find relief from thyroid issues and reverse their damage. Sarah remembers being frustrated that even after diagnosis, she might have to tinker for years to get the best lifestyle for her disease. Sarah, Stacy and Izabella all remind you that medication isn't failure. In fact even for early stage Hashimoto's early hormone medications can help preserve the thyroid and improve health Izabella wants you to put everything in your "Toolshed of Healing" including medication. Synthroid is the most prescribed Thyroid hormone medication. It is T4 medication, which is supposed to be converted to the more active T3. But that doesn't always happen that way. Doctors say 90% of patients see improvement with Synthroid, but Izabella says that only 20% see great relief with only T4 medication. She recommends a T3 medication as well. There are two main thyroid hormones, T3 and T4 Izabella thinks people with Hashi's often can't convert T4 to T3 and thus recommends getting a compounded thyroid medication with both hormones in a bioidentical (a ratio that is similar to the body's) ratio. Find a compounding pharmacist that is accredited by the Profession Compounding Centers of America. The other option is desiccated thyroid hormones, or hormones that come from animal sources Sarah asks what someone should do if they only have access to a regular medical endocrinologist without success. Izabella says to check to see if you are underdosed. They're on the borderline of hypothyroidism, but not optimal (optimal TSH is between .5 and 2) Check into T3 and T4 levels. If your T4 is on the high side and your T3 is on the low side, you're still not converting well. Some endocrinologists are hesitant to prescribe T3, so if your TSH is fine but you're still not doing well, tell your doctor your symptoms and suggest T3 supplementation. If they're not prone to prescribing T3, maybe get a second opinion. Ask your compounding pharmacist. Izabella has an article on why doctors don't like to prescribe T3. It's because it used to be used on people with normal thyroids with amphetamines to lose weight. Which isn't healthy! It would induce hypothyroidism, heart issues and mania. Thyroid medications are "Goldilocks" medications. You dose in micrograms, not milligrams. You need not too much and not too little. Sarah says that you have be patient with medication. Wait a while after changing before testing again. On average it takes 2 years to get the right therapeutic dose. And doctors start very low. Izabella tests every 4 weeks and increasing very slowly. Target is TSH levels between .5 and 2. Symptom changes between dose changes are super important. You have to ask the right questions Izabella tests more frequently when a medication is changed or if they have had a thyroidectomy And when taking T3, test before you take your medication or you will look abnormal. Sarah finds you can't predict a therapeutic dose based on initial test levels. If you're dose isn't right, symptoms to look for: tangled, thinning hair and eyebrows, face puffy, brain fog, memory loss, sadness, fatigue, colder than average person, improper sweating, struggling with weight, joint pain, GI symtoms, heavy periods or carpal tunnel. Symptoms of hyperthroidism: excessive sweating, heart palpitations, insomnia, unintentional weight loss, scant periods, overheating, or very irritable. If you have Hasimoto's Thyroiditis, check out The Hashimoto's Protocol to help you take control of your life and teach you how to manage your body. Izabella wants you to be an empowered patient: know what you can do on your own and what role you doctor can do for you. She recommends a functional medicine doctor. Ask: Does your doctor prescribe compounded medications or natural desiccated thyroid? Does he or she prescribe low dosages of Naltraxone? Does he or she order adrenal saliva testing? Does he or she have an account with functional medicine lab companies? Check out Izabella at ThyroidPharmacist.com Rate and Review us! Goodbye!
