Breaking bad habits

Addictions are bad...everything should be done in moderation, you ever hear that before?

I believe we all have things in life that we struggle with. These trials in triumph are what build our character, in failure are what teach us how to treat one another. Many struggle with weight loss, many with food addictions, or addictions to anything. Addiction is what keeps us from fulfilling our destinies to seek truth in why we even exist.

I believe that I exist to help people, to show them how to stop their addictions to bad things, and focus on moderation. For example, you may have an addiction to come home after a long days work and crash on the couch for 3 hours worth of television. Television is a bad addiction, and is brainwashing. I think the television is a big distraction, that keeps most people from reaching their full potential and possibly even their destiny. If you decided to break away from that negative addiction and fill it with something moderately such as exercise, you would truly see a difference in your mental focus, your strength, your stamina and overall health. Our bodies were made to exercise, and most of us truly lose sight of this.

When I graduated personal training school almost 2 years ago, I weighed 167 lbs, I watched a lot more television with my husband Chip and did not really grasp the regular routine of exercising. This morning I stepped on the scale and am down to 150 lbs. I'm psyched, and although I have a little more to lose and some muscle to gain, my strength, my stamina, and my overall health is phenomenal compared to what it was. I am currently attending the School of Ministry in Rockland, at Calvary Chapel, and everyone here has had a major cold since the start of the school year. I have yet to get sick, I felt a little run down at times, but something minor that a little rest and some good nutrition would solve.

I hope you are all staying well out there in the big bad world of addictions and illness. Drop me an message, let me know what you are struggling with and I will try and help you figure out a way to replace it with something good in moderation.


Yours in health,

Sarah A. Servant
