Carolyn Costin is one of the most well-known names in eating disorder recovery treatment. Her book, Eight Keys to Recovery from an Eating Disorder, is a pioneering work that was published more than a decade ago and is still regarded as a central text in the field. Some people think of eating disorders in terms of addiction, with programs to actively get drugs, alcohol, and other addictions out of one's life. The problem is you can't do that with food: “You have to learn how to deal with it”, says Carolyn. “It's very different.” Her eight keys provide insights and steps for facing the daunting task of recovery. From her own lived experience, and extensive work in the field, Carolyn clarifies the overarching topics for us to work through and come to the other side of this illness. In fact, she's had a hand in numerous initiatives to progress full recovery throughout her career. She developed the first residential treatment centre in the United States that has been replicated in other countries, including Australia. She's also training recovery coaches to address the very real gaps in care. Carolyn is perennially interesting, and her message of hope is always enlightening.

Total Surrender2 Corinthians 12:9 “but he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (RSVCE)“Worrying does not take away tomorrow's problems, it takes away todays peace.”  Think about this for a moment.  If you really think about this you know it's true.  You know worrying doesn't change the outcome.  You can worry from know until the end of time and your worry still will not change what is going to happen.  I don't say this to discourage you.  There are things you can do to change what may or may not happen.  You are not hopeless or helpless in these situations.  Quite the opposite in fact. You are very powerful in difficult situations because you have God on your side.  It says in 2 Corinthians 12:9 “but he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (RSVCE) This is God talking to St. Paul and He is talking to you too.  God's power is made perfect in your weakness.  Did you know that?  I am betting you didn't.  The reason that I bet you didn't know that is because the enemy doesn't want you to.  He wants you to feel like you are in this all alone.  So, if the power of God is made perfect in our weakness, why don't we feel this power?   Are you actually being weak?  Are you surrendering the worry over to God?  Are you asking Him for help?  Or, are you trying to stay strong and do it all yourself?  Are you not asking God for help because you think He is too busy, you don't think He would help, or maybe you don't think you deserve help?  God wants to help and is ready and willing to help, and also He is waiting for you to decide if you want His help or not.If you want to be strong and do everything on your own, God is going to give you that option.  He isn't going to force Himself on you.  He gave us free will and with that comes great responsibility.  God is asking us to invite Him into our lives and into our worry.  He is there in our lives, just waiting for us to give Him permission to help us, waiting for us to admit that we need Him.  We all need Him.  Sometimes the enemy puts the idea in our head that if we need God then we are weak.  There isn't a person alive that doesn't need God.  Even Jesus, who was fully God and fully human, asked God for help.  The reason I decided to talk about this today is because I have a friend of mine that experienced a miracle on Friday and it got me thinking about how much we all want to experience miracles and yet how we all get in out own way.  I am hoping that by giving you her example, as well as my own, you might be able to see how you are getting in your own way.  Of course we didn't intentionally get in our own way.  We thought we were doing what we were supposed to do.  We were doing all we could to save our families.  Isn't that what anyone would do?  This is a perfect example of the phrase hindsight is 20/20.  If we had known we were getting in the way we could have saved ourselves the heartache and surrendered sooner.  Let me explain.I was really struggling with my family.  My husband and I were fighting a lot and the boys were acting out a lot.  I did pray, and I asked God for help.  I prayed that He would fix it, that He would give us a miracle, that He would show me what to do.  Then, I read every book I could find on marriages and parenting.  I listened to every podcast and searched the internet for the answer to my problems.  I talked to every expert I could find.  I did all I could to fix this problem in my family.  Did you catch that last part?  I did all I could.  I asked God to fix it, and then I took the reigns back and tried to fix it on my own.  Why do we do that?  Why do we kill ourselves trying to solve things on our own.  God is made perfect in our weakness, why don't we let him take over?  Eventually I got tired or fighting, I got tired of doing all the research, I got tired of trying to solve it all on my own.  Eventually I turned to God and said, “I give up.  I can't do this anymore.  This is getting me no where.  Things have to change and they have to change now.  I need a break.  I need you to fix this.  I turn this completely over to you.  I trust that you have all or our best interests in mind.  You are a part of my covenant with Tony and you don't take that lightly.  You love our children more than anyone else and you want more for them than we possibly can.  I surrender Lord.”  If you know me and the situation, then you know I was considering a divorce.  However, I told God that I didn't want it and that I had faith in Him to either find another way, or to bring us back together later.  I promised to be faithful to his Law even if I was divorced.Do you know what?  God gave me that miracle I was begging Him for.  Tony and I just celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary in July and although we argue as all couples do, we are so very happy.  Our children are all doing well in school, doing well at home, and have all overcome some really difficult years.  God is so good!  I wish I could help you all to see and feel how good He really is.  He loves us and wants to help us, we just need to get out of our own way.My friend has been battling similar issues with her family for a long time now as well.  She has been fighting for her daughter for a few years.  She has been faithful to pray, just as I was.  She has been asking God for help.  And also, she has been trying to fix it herself.  She has spoken to numerous specialist, counselors, and lawyers.  She has done her best to love her child despite her child being awful to her.  That is what we do, we fight for our children because they can't fight for themselves.  We feel as though if we aren't fighting for them then we are giving up and how can we give up on our children?  I want to argue, maybe you aren't giving up, maybe you are handing the fight over to a more qualified candidate.  God is our Heavenly Father.  Think about how much you would fight for you child.  Now take that and multiply it by a thousand. That is how much God is going to fight for you, His child.  The thing about handing things over to God is that He is not bound in the same way we are.  He can see solutions that we would never see.  He can make a way, where there is no way.  In my case, I would have never in a million years imagined that in 3 years our family would go from having several crisis a day in our home to having peace in our home.  Our family truly experienced a miracle and it was only after I surrendered, stopped fighting and let God take control without worrying about the outcome.  I had total faith that I would be ok however, things turned out because I was not in control God was.  My friend also saw her miracle.  After fighting so hard and so long, she just couldn't do it anymore.  She had exhausted her financial means, her emotional and mental energy, everything.  She loves her daughter more than anything and did not want to give up on fighting for her.  And also, she just could not keep putting herself at risk by continuing to fight.  She finally surrendered it to God.  She said she didn't know what was going to happen in court and she listed the few outcomes that she could think of.  She said unless God showed up in a huge way nothing was going to change.  Guess what? God showed up in a huge way.The judge listened to everything that everyone had to say and she came up with ideas that hadn't even occurred to my friend.  She had some great ideas, and she made things happen that my friend honestly couldn't even picture happening anytime soon.  Do you see how crazy good God is?  He wants to help us.  He wants to provide miracles for us.  Why can't we just surrender it to Him and get out His way and let Him work?Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that you bless all those listening to this episode today.  Lord, we want you to help us. We ask that you step in and show us when we are taking over.  Show us how to surrender Lord.  We know you can fix things better than we can.  Give us the courage to surrender all of our problems to you.  Help us get out of our own way Lord.  Help us to step aside and let you help us.  We love you Lord, you are so amazing and we are so grateful for all the ways you help us without us even knowing.  Thank you for the miracles talked about here today and thank you for the millions of miracles that no one even notices.  You are the best and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, AmenThank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.  Today begins our fifth week of the challenge, can you believe it's been 5 weeks already?  Our focus for this week is Forgiveness.  How can we be more forgiving.  This one is near and dear to my heart and has been ever since I found out that God forgives us to the same extent that we forgive others.  I am not sure why I didn't know this before, as we say it every time we say the Our Father, but I still didn't know.  Now that I do know it, I want everyone else to know so that they don't stay angry here on each just to lose that connection with the Father in Heaven.  In the email that went out last night it I put an article titled The Eight Keys to Forgiveness by Robert Enright.  (click here).   Hopefully this article will help you develop a deeper understanding of forgiveness and some ideas of how that can happen. I look forward to spending time with you again tomorrow.  Have a blessed day.

Choosing to Forgive your ExThe Book of Forgiving by Desmond and Mpho Tutu.  Archbishop Desmond Tutu writes:"Without forgiveness, we remain tethered to the person who harmed us. We are bound with chains of bitterness, tied together, trapped. Until we can forgive the person who harmed us, that person will hold the keys to our happiness; that person will be our jailor. When we forgive the person who harmed us, we take back control of our own fate and our feelings. We become our own liberators. We don't forgive to help the other person. We don't forgive for others. We forgive for ourselves. Forgiveness, in other words, is the best form of self-interest. This is true both spiritually and scientifically."Tutu says, “To forgive is also to release yourself from whatever trauma and hardship you have experienced and reclaim your life as your own.”  Eight Keys to Forgiveness (by Robert Enright)This essay has been adapted from 8 Keys to Forgiveness (W. W. Norton & Company, 2015)Below is an outline of the basic steps involved in following a path of forgiveness, adapted from  8 Keys to Forgiveness. 1. Know what forgiveness is and why it mattersForgiveness is about goodness, about extending mercy to those who've harmed us, even if they don't “deserve” it.  Forgiveness is a process with many steps.2. Become “forgivingly fit”To practice forgiveness, it helps if you have worked on positively changing your inner world by learning to be what I call “forgivingly fit.”  3. Address your inner painIt's important to figure out who has hurt you and how. This may seem obvious; but not every action that causes you suffering is unjust. For example, you don't need to forgive your child or your spouse for being imperfect, even if their imperfections are inconvenient for you.   4. Develop a forgiving mind through empathyScientists have studied what happens in the brain when we think about forgiving and have discovered that, when people successfully imagine forgiving someone , they show increased activity in the neural circuits responsible for empathy. 5. Find meaning in your sufferingWhen we suffer a great deal, it is important that we find meaning in what we have endured. Without seeing meaning, a person can lose a sense of purpose, which can lead to hopelessness and a despairing conclusion that there is no meaning to life itself. 6. When forgiveness is hard, call upon other strengthsForgiveness is always hard when we are dealing with deep injustices from others. I have known people who refuse to use the word forgiveness because it just makes them so angry. 7. Forgive yourselfMost of us tend to be harder on ourselves than we are on others and we struggle to love ourselves. If you are not feeling lovable because of actions you've taken, you may need to work on self-forgiveness Soften your heart toward yourself.8. Develop a forgiving heartWhen we overcome suffering, we gain a more mature understanding of what it means to be humble, courageous, and loving in the world.  If you shed bitterness and put love in its place, and then repeat this with many, many other people, you become freed to love more widely and deeply.

In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses How this year Christmas is more for giving forgiveness than for giving gifts. Summary of today Podcast:  Ways to celebrate this Christmas with more love and forgiveness in your heart How stress indicates that we are not letting go and how resiliency can help 8 Tools for simply forgiving self or others Question for today is? Why should forgiveness be part of Christmas? In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses How this year Christmas can be more for Giving forgiveness and finding resiliency than other for giving gifts. Oprah says, “Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different, it's accepting the past for what it was, and using this moment and this time to help yourself move forward.”  We have had a year like no other.  An election that some don’t want to let go of with authoritarian roots being exposed against our Democracy, a Pandemic that seems like it will never end.  Families with sick or dying family members, who may have just had a birthday party or wedding and never thought people might die from Covid 19 from coming to a party. Social unrest that has thrown the blanket off a long history of persistent and ugly battering of human rights in our America. Now we have one of the most stressful months of the year with expectation of giving gifts and being merry, with businesses dying, unemployment soaring and a supportive government nowhere to be found. Where is the hope? The joys of the Holiday Season? Can Christmas Music cheer us up? We do have a choice to focus on all the bad that has happened this year or choose to look at ways to let go of the hurt and heartache and bounce forward into a new year with or without Covid in the rear-view mirror. Christmas in my childhood was a complex time, happy and sad.  My family traveled 2 hours to stay with my grandparents and cousins for a traditional Christmas. My father would turn up the car radio on the way to hear the Santa report of sightings and we 4 kids would look out the station wagon windows to look for Santa’s sleigh in the sky, as we drive past the smell of crude oil from the oil fields of Oklahoma.  The Cousins played the piano and would sing carols.  There was a warm fire in the living room fireplace.  We shared and opened gifts on Christmas eve in the German Tradition and had one present from Santa to open on Christmas morning. Sometimes all the Children would sleep on the floor of the dining room in sleeping bags and peep to see if Santa had come yet.  I remember an old saying, my grandfather would say, so that we wouldn’t get to close to the fire.  “Silly Willy curls and sashes, fell in the fire and burned to ashes, by and by the room grew chilly, but no one came to stir up Willy.”  That is such a troubling image for a child. Why would a sweet grandfather recite that saying to young children?  But that was the worry, or the fear of bad things can happen at any moment, instead of hearing reassuring and comforting thoughts, that your family will always be there for you. We remember things very vividly from our childhood.  How are the children of this year going to remember it? Will they remember it with pleasant memories or of fear and hearing their parents fighting over an election, or financial struggles or of unity, forgiveness and finding ways to bounce back with resiliency and compassion, with their reassurance and hope. Christmas is a tradition around the story of the birth of Jesus, the head of the Christian church and believed to be the son of God.  His last words on the cross that killed him were. “Please Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” So, when is forgiveness the focus of His Holiday celebration? I think we are confused like Silly Willy and somehow, we fell in the fire, of remembering those last word to be sharing around forgiving. Not FOR Giving gifts.  But forgiving ourselves and each other, as the gift of the season.  This year we need it more than ever. What are some ways to forgive from an Article the Power of Forgiving Dr. Tyler VanderWeele, co-director of the Initiative on Health, Religion, and Spirituality at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and from Robert Enrights “8 Keys to Forgiveness” The power of Forgiveness teaches how to overcome lingering bad feelings toward someone who did you wrong. Almost everyone has experienced being wronged by someone. It could be a former co-worker, friend, or family member. But hanging on to those negative feelings can do great harm to Your health. "Forgiving a person who has wronged you is never easy but dwelling on those events and reliving them over and over can fill your mind with negative thoughts and suppressed anger," says Dr. Tyler VanderWeele. "Yet, when you learn to forgive, you are no longer trapped by the past actions of others and can finally feel free." Learning to let go There are two sides to forgiveness: decisional and emotional. Decisional forgiveness involves a conscious choice to replace ill will with good will. Replace that thought will a forgiving thought. "You no longer wish bad things to happen to that individual," says Dr. VanderWeele. "This is often quicker and easier to accomplish." Than emotional forgiveness, For emotional forgiveness, you move away from those negative feelings and no longer dwell on the emotions of the wrongdoing. "Emotional forgiveness is much harder and takes longer, as it's common for those feelings to return on a regular basis," says Dr. VanderWeele. "This often happens when you think about the offender, or something triggers the emotional memory, or you still suffer from the adverse consequences of the action." This may need professional help, it there was trauma from this event.  Please reach out to learn some letting go skills for PTSD.  In podcast 26, I cover some of those skills. Practicing forgiveness can have powerful health benefits. Observational studies, and even some randomized trials, suggest that when you forgive you can have lower levels of depression, anxiety, and hostility; reduced substance abuse; higher self-esteem; and greater life satisfaction. Yet, forgiving people is not always easy. "It's not that men can't forgive, but for some it's more of a struggle," says Dr. VanderWeele. It's not clear why, but perhaps men have learned to suppress certain emotions. "It also can be difficult for men to admit to themselves that there was this great offense that still bothers them," says Dr. VanderWeele. Or if it is PTSD avoidance is one of the symptoms. So, please reach out. Practice small acts of forgiveness One way to get more comfortable with forgiveness is to practice small acts in everyday life, says Dr. Tyler VanderWeele.  For example, if someone is rude or cuts you off in traffic, use that moment to recognize the wrong, realize it wasn't directed at you personally, and forgive him or her on the spot. "This way you also can learn to immediately stop the negative reaction from progressing into stronger emotions that can ruin your day. Reaching for a solutions Here are 8 Keys to Forgiveness by Robert Enright  When another person hurts us, it can upend our lives. Sometimes the hurt is very deep, such as when a spouse or a parent betrays our trust, or when we are victims of crime or other traumas, or when we’ve been harshly bullied. Especially for a long time. Anyone who has suffered a grievous hurt knows that when our inner world is badly disrupted, it’s difficult to concentrate on anything other than our turmoil or pain. When we hold on to hurt, we are emotionally and cognitively hobbled, and our relationships suffer. This is why with PTSD disorder; we need help to get out of our heads to think clearer on a emotional direction to let go or feel better. Forgiveness is strong medicine for this. When life hits us hard, there is nothing as effective as forgiveness for healing deep wounds. I would not have spent the last 30 years of my life studying forgiveness if I were not convinced of this. Many people have misconceptions about what forgiveness really means—and they may misunderstand it. Others may want to forgive but wonder whether or not they truly can. Forgiveness does not necessarily come easily; but it is possible for many of us to achieve it if we have the right tools and are willing to put in the effort. Below is an outline of the basic steps involved in following a path of forgiveness, adapted from Robert Enright’s book, 8 Keys to Forgiveness. As you listen to these steps, think about how you might adapt them to your own life. Know what Forgiveness is and Why it Matters Forgiveness is about goodness, about extending mercy to those who’ve harmed us, even if they don’t “deserve” it. Does any family member come to mind this Christmas? That you could practice on?  A person that doesn’t even know that they harmed or offended you and you wouldn’t fear, hurting their feelings, trying some of the skills on them. It is not about finding excuses for the offending person’s behavior or pretending it didn’t happen. Nor is there a quick formula you can follow. Forgiveness is a process with many steps that often proceeds in a non-linear fashion. But it’s well worth the effort. Working on forgiveness can help us increase our self-esteem and give us a sense of inner strength and safety. It can reverse the lies that we often tell ourselves when someone has hurt us deeply—lies like, I am defeated or I’m not worthy. Forgiveness can heal us and allow us to move on in life with meaning and purpose. Forgiveness matters, and we will be its primary beneficiary. A skill you can try on That person this Christmas is to imagine, him or her with a clown nose on their face every time they speak.  It will change the emotional reaction to them and in that moment. Chose to see them differently, such as, his so pitiful, he didn’t even have the brains to hurt me.  I interpreted that situations like he meant to.  He just runs his mouth and it is all gibberish.  Or agree to next time, say something to stick up for yourself, like you don’t know what you are talking about I see it this way.  Almost saying anything, show you can for your self and you will feel better. Studies have shown that forgiving others produces strong psychological benefits for the one who forgives. It has been shown to decrease depression, anxiety, unhealthy anger, and the symptoms of PTSD. But we don’t just forgive to help ourselves. Forgiveness can lead to psychological healing, yes; but, in its essence, it is not something about you or done for you. It is something you extend toward another person, because you recognize, over time, that it is the best response to the situation.  It is a choice.  Become “forgivingly Fit” Practice forgiveness, it helps if you have worked on positively changing your inner world by learning to be what I call “forgivingly fit.” Just as you would start slowly with a new physical exercise routine, it helps if you build up your forgiving heart muscles slowly, incorporating regular “workouts” into your everyday life. You can start becoming more fit by making a commitment to do no harm—in other words, making a conscious effort not to talk disparagingly about those who’ve hurt you after the fact. You don’t have to say good things; but, if you refrain from talking negatively, it will feed the more forgiving side of your mind and heart. You can also make a practice of recognizing that every person is unique, special, and irreplaceable. You may come to this through religious beliefs or a humanist philosophy or even through your belief in compassion. It’s important to cultivate this mindset of valuing our common humanity, so that it becomes harder to discount someone who has harmed you as unworthy. You can show love in small ways in everyday encounters—like smiling at a harried grocery cashier or taking time to listen to a child. Giving love when it’s unnecessary helps to build the love muscle, making it easier to show compassion toward everyone. Perhaps you can refrain from honking when someone cuts you off in traffic or hold your tongue when your spouse snaps at you and extend a hug instead. Sometimes pride and power can weaken your efforts to forgive by making you feel entitled and inflated, so that you hang onto your resentment as a noble cause. Try to catch yourself when you are acting from that place, and choose forgiveness or mercy, instead. Forgiveness Institute website: www.internationalforgiveness.com. Address your Inner Pain- It’s important to figure out who has hurt you and how. This may seem obvious; but not every action that causes you suffering is unjust. To become clearer, you can look carefully at the people in your life—your parents, siblings, peers, spouse, coworkers, children, and even yourself—and rate how much they have hurt you. Perhaps they have exercised power over you or withheld love; or maybe they have physically harmed you. These hurts have contributed to your inner pain and need to be acknowledged. Doing this will give you an idea of who needs forgiveness in your life and provide a place to start. There are many forms of emotional pain; but the common forms are anxiety, depression, unhealthy anger, lack of trust, self-loathing or low self-esteem, an overall negative worldview, and a lack of confidence in one’s ability to change. All of these harms can be addressed by forgiveness; so it’s important to identify the kind of pain you are suffering from and to acknowledge it. The more hurt you have incurred, the more important it is to forgive, at least for the purpose of experiencing emotional healing. You may be able to do this accounting on your own, or you may need the help of a therapist. However, you approach looking at your pain be sure you do it in an environment that feels safe and supportive. Please reach out to me, If needed, I can give you guidance where to find a therapist you insurance will pay for or become a client, to work on that specific stumbling block to your peace of mind. Develop a Forgiving Mind through Empathy Scientists have studied what happens in the brain when we think about forgiving and have discovered that, when people successfully imagine forgiving someone (in a hypothetical situation), they show increased activity in the neural circuits responsible for empathy. This tells us that empathy is connected to forgiveness and is an important step in the process. If you examine some of the details in the life of the person who harmed you, you can often see more clearly what wounds he carries and start to develop empathy of compassion for him. First, try to imagine him as an innocent child, needing love and support. Did he get that from the parents? Research has shown that if an infant does not receive attention and love from primary caregivers, then he will have a weak attachment, which can damage trust. It may prevent him from ever getting close to others and set a trajectory of loneliness and conflict for the rest of his life. You may be able to put an entire narrative together for the person who hurt you—from early child through adulthood—or just imagine it from what you know. You may be able to see her physical frailties and psychological suffering and begin to understand the common humanity that you share. Recognizing that we all carry wounds in our hearts can help open the door to forgiveness. Find Meaning in Your Suffering When we suffer a great deal, it is important that we find meaning in what we have endured. Without seeing meaning, a person can lose a sense of purpose, which can lead to hopelessness and a despairing conclusion that there is no meaning to life itself. Instead, try to see how our suffering has changed us in a positive way. Some people begin to think about how they can use their suffering to cope, because they’ve become more resilient or brave.  They may also realize that their suffering has altered their perspective regarding what is important in life, changing their long-range goals for themselves. Or see it as it made you the person that you are today because of it. To find meaning is not to diminish your pain or to say, I’ll just make the best of it or All things happen for a reason. Still, there are many ways to find meaning in our suffering. Some may choose to focus more on the beauty of the world or decide to give service to others in need. Some may find meaning by speaking their truth or by strengthening their inner resolve. If I were to give one answer, it would be that we should use our suffering to become more loving and to pass that love onto others. Finding meaning, in and of itself, is helpful for finding direction in forgiveness. When forgiveness is hard, call upon other strengths you have from faith to beliefs in old sayings. Forgiveness is always hard when we are dealing with deep injustices from others. I have known people who refuse to use the word forgiveness because it just makes them so angry. That’s OK—we all have our own timelines for when we can be merciful. But if you want to forgive and are finding it hard, it might help to call upon other resources. First remember that if you are struggling with forgiveness, that doesn’t mean you’re a failure at forgiveness. Forgiveness is a process that takes time, patience, and determination. Try not to be harsh on yourself but be gentle and foster a sense of quiet within, an inner acceptance of yourself. Try to respond to yourself as you would to someone whom you love deeply. Surround yourself with good and wise people who support you and who have the patience to allow you time to heal in your own way. Also, practice humility—not in the sense of putting yourself down, but in realizing that we are all capable of imperfection and suffering. Try to develop courage and patience in yourself to help you in the journey. Also, if you practice bearing small slights against you without lashing out, you give a gift to everyone—not only to the other person, but to everyone whom that person may harm in the future because of your anger. You can help end the cycle of inflicting pain on others. If you are still finding it hard to forgive, you can choose to practice with someone who is easier to forgive. OR Alternatively, it can be better to focus on forgiving the person who is at the root of your pain—maybe a parent who was abusive, or a spouse who betrayed you. If these initial hurt impacts other parts of your life and other relationships, it may be necessary to start there. Forgive Yourself Most of us tend to be harder on ourselves than we are on others and we struggle to love ourselves. Or continue with self-abusive statement or act or continue the abuse that the other person started. If you are not feeling lovable because of actions you’ve taken, you may need to work on self-forgiveness and offer to yourself what you offer to others who have hurt you: a sense of inherent worth, despite your actions. In self-forgiveness, you honor yourself as a person, even if you are imperfect. If you’ve broken your personal standards in a serious way, there is a danger of sliding into self-loathing. When this happens, you may not take good care of yourself—you might overeat or oversleep or start smoking or engage in other forms of “self-punishment.” You need to recognize this and move toward self-compassion. Soften your heart toward yourself. Develop a forgiving heart When we overcome suffering, we gain a more mature understanding of what it means to be humble, courageous, and loving in the world. We may be moved to create an atmosphere of forgiveness in our homes and workplaces, to help others who’ve been harmed overcome their suffering, or to protect our communities from a cycle of hatred and violence. All of these choices can lighten the heart and bring joy to one’s life. Some people may believe that love for another who’s harmed you is not possible. But, I’ve found that many people who forgive eventually find a way to open their hearts. This kind of transformation can create a legacy of love that will live on long after you’re gone.

It surprised me to learn that we have over two million people in prison in the United States.

This episode presents the results of research just completed on a novel therapy for rehabilitating men in a maximum security prisons. Learn the elements of an approach which seeks to address the root of the problem, and in the process learn techniques for healing and breaking free of anger and resentment.Guest Dr. Maria Gambaro is a licensed psychologist who has dedicated the last twelve years of her life to forgiveness counseling, research and assessment. She is one of the principle authors of the research and paper we will cover today.

Bob Enright is a professor of educational psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the founding board member of the International Forgiveness Institute, Inc. He pioneered the social scientific study of forgiveness and is the author of over 120 publications, including seven books. Professor Enright is not just a leading scholar, but also a world leader in fostering forgiveness in conflict zones such as Belfast, Athens, Liberia, and Galilee. Many of the coaches we've learned from on the SGG podcast have noted the importance of overcoming conflict on teams and developing trusting relationships. Forgiveness is at the heart of this trust and Dr. Enright shares some insights on forgiveness that can greatly help coaches and team. We discussed: 1. How he came to the study of forgiveness…and the risk he took in doing so. 2. When you forgive, “you get your life back, your energy back.” 3. Why forgiveness is important in competitive settings, like team sports. 4. The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. Forgiveness is a “moral virtue that we offer when we are mistreated.” It is unilateral. Reconciliation is “when two or more people come together again in mutual trust.” It is dependent upon both parties. 5. When we forgive, we seek justice. 6. Forgiveness is not an acceptance of injustice or an excusing of injustice. 7. Why it is important for leaders of teams – coaches in particular – to model forgiveness. 8. Forgiveness is a counter to resentment that can linger for many years. 9. Aristotle says you grow in any virtue through three things: “practice, practice, practice.” How do sports help us with this practice of forgiveness? 10. One who forgives on a team is saying, “This is a human being and a teammate who is more important than what just happened.” 11. Preparing for the injustices that are to come for us…and still being committed to ending the injustices. 12. Forgiveness deals with the effects of injustice. The effects themselves are often worse than the injustice itself. The injustice may be one particular act in time (or even numerous acts), but the effects go on and can be passed on through generations. 13. Coaches can play a role in stopping the hurt of injustice. 14. Bob's experiences working on forgiveness in Palestinian communities. 15. Aristotle: “Never practice a moral virtue in isolation from the others.” 16. Why just “fixing” an injustice does not bring about healing. 17. Eight Keys to Forgiveness and the Forgiving Life as tools for coaches to begin learning about how to cultivate forgiving cultures on teams. 18. Self-forgiveness is harder than forgiving others. One step to begin: forgive someone else first, then apply the same process to yourself.

The legacy of conflicts and hurtful words can stick with us for a long time, let alone the pain of betrayal, trauma, and abuse. There's a lot to forgive.

With the start of another new year, many people find themselves making health goals, from fitness to diet, to sleep or earlier mornings. This fascination with health related New Year’s resolutions may be the result of two back to back holidays when most people eat too much, do too little and feel too bad. Or maybe we all have the inherent conviction that the best way to improve our lives is to start by improving our health. And the start of a new year gives us the perfect launching point to begin new health journeys. My wife and I have found ourselves focusing more on our daily health practices over the years as we need increased energy and effectiveness for our busy family and business lives. We’ve found that abundant health doesn’t come from just focusing on one or two areas at a time but by making continual progress in 8 areas that foster wellness, vitality and ultimately effectiveness. Prioritizing Health with a Busy Schedule  With busy families, businesses, jobs, social activities and causes...and through random unforeseen challenges that pop into our lives, it’s easy to just get busy and accept what is as the way it must always be in our health. Making health a priority starts with embracing how healthy practices make a visible and tangible difference to our lives and bodies. I know that when I make health a priority I feel good. I have energy and a clear mind. It takes less time to get more done. I see an increase in effectiveness and fulfillment in my family life and in my business life. We are the architect of our own body’s health. Without our health, we have nothing else. At some point we need to acknowledge that we have significant control over our own health and that our actions can truly make a significant impact. Through acknowledgment of our control, we will find it easier to muster up the discipline to follow through on our system with daily and weekly actions, even when it’s not easy or convenient. While we may not be perfect in practicing what we know is good for us, we can make it one of our top priorities to continue to make progress and to get back on track when life derails us from that next work out or getting to bed on time. Don’t Make Changes, Create Systems that Become Habits.   We often get those urges to change some health practice. Like saying, today I’m not going to eat sugar. But creating the long term results you want in our health happens best when we systematize our health practices using a process we’ve developed that works for our unique body, lifestyle and preferences. Find a set of regular health practices that work for you and that you can follow fairly consistently over time...even when you’re traveling or in crazy busy seasons.    If you were to ask Shelley or me to create the perfect health system for you it probably wouldn’t work. Why? Because what works for me is not likely to work for you. It may not get the results you need because your body and needs are different. Or it may get results but you may not enjoy the system enough to sustain it because it just doesn’t work in your lifestyle or schedule. Think about what you enjoy doing. Do you like walking your dog? Great, walk the dog longer or faster. Do you like making and eating stir-fries? Great, make more of them, put in more vegetables or make them all organic. If someone else lost 30 pounds eating a certain way, that’s great for him/her, but that may not be great for you. If you want to live every day like health is truly your priority, your personalized health practice must be full of actions you enjoy enough to sustain your unique system for health over time. I am only able to maintain my healthy lifestyle because I have created habits that I either enjoy or that produce results that I enjoy. Our 8 Health Systems We have found that it’s helpful to compile all the processes needed to create our own personalized health system into eight categories. We’ve actually seen that every human being needs to pay attention to these 8 areas of life in order to optimize their health and wellbeing. If you determine what unique practices you need to regularly incorporate into your daily lives to progress in these eight areas, it is quite likely that you’ll end up continually improving in health, energy and vitality. Quality Rest Our bodies need rest in order to function. I’ve struggled with getting the appropriate rest and it’s on the cutting edge of my personal learning this year. Rest is the key to restoration in our bodies. Are you getting the right quality and quantity of rest? Do you nod off whenever you're not active, yawn during the day, just run low on energy, need multiple settings on your alarm clock to wake up, or sleep a lot longer on your days off? If so, you are probably not getting enough quality sleep. Physical Activity Our bodies were made to move and these days most of us spend a lot more time sitting than moving. We sit to work, watch, talk, drive, eat, etc. With all that sitting, how can we make our bodies move more? What type of exercise is best for you? How do you create a sustainable system for exercise that works for you over time? What’s the balance between aerobic exercise, strength training and flexibility training that’s best for you? Pure Water Our bodies are made of mostly water and yet most of us aren’t very intentional about giving our bodies good, pure water. Our thirst is like the gas gage on a car. Our body runs on water but when the gas gage hits empty (when we get thirsty), we fill it with all kinds of other stuff besides water. Trying to run your body on soda is like saying I’m going to try to run my car on pop. Even if we drink enough water, it often has other pollutants and chemicals in it...chlorine and fluoride being the biggest offenders. If you put gas that’s mixed with a bunch of water in your vehicle, it might still run if you have a great in line fuel filter to extract the water from the fuel your vehicle is actually designed to run on.  We are fortunate that our body does have a great in line filter to take out the other “stuff” that’s in the liquid we drink besides the water our body runs on. And our body filter is smart enough it actually tries to use whatever it can from what it filters out of the liquid we put in it. However, often the “stuff” that’s in the liquid we drink just clogs our filters or worse yet, has toxins that destroy our body systems. So how much water do you need, how often should you drink, how to you make sure what are drinking is really clean water and how does even the water you bathe in impact you? Fresh Air Fresh air is a key element for optimum health! Do you know the quality of the air you breathe both indoors and outside? How do you improve the quality of air you regularly breath? And how do you make sure you’re getting enough air in your lungs? Many people go through an entire day and never fully fill their lungs with air. This would be like running a car always at idle and never revving up the engine. Optimizing your lung capacity and usage is really vital to optimizing your energy and longevity. Nature and Sunlight There is something very therapeutic about being outside. Our bodies are made to sync with the vibrations of nature. Have you ever gone on a walk in nature on sunny day at the beach or on a beautiful trail in the mountains and you just feel so refreshed? Unlike our ancestors, modern life keeps us indoors the majority of time. But regular time outside in nature is a key system for success in health. Even being exposed to sunlight brings many health benefits when we enjoy it in moderation. Healthy Whole Food and Targeted Nutrition Yes, we are what we eat. So what we eat is always important. Most people eat things because they like them. What's wrong with that? Shouldn't we like the things we eat? Absolutely! The question is what is your system to determine the food and nutrition your unique body needs to function at optimum health, energy, and vitality? What foods are best for your body? Of all the vitamins out there, how do you know what your body needs? Self-Discipline Self-discipline is foundational to maintain the other 7 systems for health success. We can have the best intentions in the world in all the other areas but what good is that if we don’t have the personal discipline to do the right things our body needs for great health and wellness? It also takes self-control to practice moderation in those pleasures that may not be super good for you in excess but that bring you great joy. So what is your system to regularly foster your own self-discipline?   An Attitude of Faith This one impacts every area of our inner life and therefore it impacts every area of our outer life, especially our health. Our state of mind has a major impact on our health. Faith is the ability to see things you want that are not yet there in reality as though they are already there. I also believe if we trust in a power outside ourselves, (what I call trusting in God) it is easier to see a better, brighter future for our life, for our family, for our business and for our health. My attitude is formed by my personal belief that there is a God who has good plans for me and for my health. What would it feel like if you were able to maintain an attitude that believes there is a better future ahead, that anything is possible and that you have access to power outside yourself to help you bring that desired future into the present? Do Something to Improve Your Health System Now I challenge you to do an honest assessment of your practices and outcomes in each of these eight categories. Rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 in each of these categories.  Make a list of the practices you are currently doing that foster success in each of these areas then pick one category and brainstorm a few practices you could experiment with that would help you experience more of the success you want in that area. Over time, do this in all 8 categories to build your own unique health system for success.

Foundational to your success is how you define it. Depending on your definition, you may or may not achieve success. The Bible defines success and successful living in dramatically different terms than the world. It is important for your definition to be consistent with God's views of a successful life. The Base While your definition of success must correspond to God's, so your spiritual development must be built on your relationship to Him. Nurturing your spiritual life is imperative to living a successful life. This episode offers seven other areas which will help you build the life you desire. That said, and returning to the initial point, none of it will matter unless and until your relationship with the Lord is firmly established and growing. The general things to keep in mind when planning and working toward the successful life you desire include but aren't limited to: Doing what you love - starting as a hobby and building up Seeking balance in your life - body, mind, spirit, emotional, etc. Focus on your personal growth - specifically in the area of spiritual development Write out your goals - iv you can't articulate you likely won't achieve Control your thinking - living without fear or regret is a byproduct of having a right relationship with the Lord Surround yourself with people who will help you achieve your goals Have an accountability partner - your spouse, close friend, or personal coach can meet this need Build it all on a Christian foundation and biblical worldview Your life is going to go through regular ebbs and flows - ups and downs - keeping your self focused will help you overcome and find success. It is interesting to think about these things and see how they are interrelated. You might be surprised by how working in one are will help you in another, and vice versa. Keeping your eyes on the prize and making regular effort to move in a positive direction will often lead to successes you never imagined. ________________________________ Related Podcasts Understanding God's Universal Will For Your Life Understanding God'Specific Will For Your Life

These are principles that helped me stay in the teaching profession at times when I didn't think I could take another day.

My inbox is typically bursting with messages from overwhelmed teachers. Help! I can't do this! I feel so inadequate—it's just too much for one person and I don't think I can teach anymore. The situation is so bad—I'm thinking of just quitting.

This week and next, we’re going to look at eight keys to help you regain your confidence and avoid burn-out. These are principles that helped me stay in the teaching profession at times when I didn't think I could take another day. They are based on what I've seen happen in my own life and in the lives of other teachers who overcame feelings of hopelessness and frustration and regained their enthusiasm for teaching.
