A Faith-Styled Life: Boundaries
Good boundaries clarify expectations. They serve as a fence of sorts alerting people to what’s acceptable and what’s not in our personal space. Our first FaithStyle habit is centered around establishing boundaries that serve to promote healthy relationships, an...
A Faith-Styled Life
Are you tired of struggling with the same bad habit? Or do you feel powerless to change the rhythm or pace of life no matter what you do? This has been my journey too. As a single-mom for 17 years, I never felt like I had enough margin to create the life I...
Flip The Script
We all have personal scripts that play on loop. Some are helpful while others are not. Our minds race with opinions, attitudes, and beliefs and if we don’t challenge the toxic thoughts that create negative narratives then we are sure to stay stuck in our unhealthy...
Faith-Informed Freedom
What area of life do you need more freedom? The essence of freedom is based on principle of boundlessness. By this definition, freedom is intuitive in nature. Stalwart in stance. And often referred to as containing certain inalienable rights. As such, freedom opposes...
First Response To Anxiety
What's your first response to anxiety? As creatures of habit we develop certain reactions to anxiety, most of which are not healthy. All too often, these reactions are more like overreactions, which come as a result of our past experiences and tend to follow us into...
In The Shadows Of Gratitude
We’ve all heard the adage—the attitude of gratitude—and yes, gratitude is a state of mind. But with a spiritual lens gratitude is actually a gift of great power. A gift that is only discovered by being present in the moment. By taking time to look for something we can...
House Rules
‘Be kind’ is an adage we see everywhere these days. Is it an invitation? A conviction? Or a stance? Perhaps it’s all of these. Regardless, the intention is to spread a message of kindness—to be kind to others in our collective house. And it’s a good message with...
Little By Little
Small steps matter. Especially when it comes to making lifestyle changes. Here, at Beyond The Craving, we put a higher value on making progress more than achieving perfection. And in order to do so it's important to keep our sights on what’s ahead and not what’s...
The Elephant In The Room
Does life feel a little unsteady right now? If so, what area or areas feel the most unsteady? Personal. Professional. Relational. Or perhaps you need to go more granular: mental, emotional, physical, spiritual. Feeling unsteady is to be expected when things don't go...
A Decidedly Good Detour
Habits are hard-wired routines. Instituting a non-negotiable is an invaluable practice in changing a habit because it eliminates a specific choice which interrupts the routine. Simply put, a non-negotiable is a well-defined boundary. A hard stop. A detour you must...
The Sacrifice Of Silence
Silence is a savage. It isolates and alienates. When it comes to a bad habit or addictive behavior, silence will keep us stuck in the same maddening rut. Why? Because silence holds power. If you don’t believe me, try telling someone the truth about your struggle. The...
Discomfort Is A Good Sign
When it comes to changing a habit that continues to keep us stuck in a cycle of self-defeat it’s necessary to develop a tolerance to discomfort. Most likely the idea of this is making you uncomfortable. Me too. However, if we can’t find a way to normalize discomfort...
Look For The God Door
Making the right choice during an emotional storm surge is tough. That’s a fact. But did you know that God gives us a promise in these high octane moments when it comes to making difficult choices? Yep. He promises us that He will indeed provide a way out—an escape if...
Training Your Mental Muscle
Our mental muscles are just as important as our physical muscles in the world we live in today. With stress at an all-time high the practice of mental resistance training is vital to building endurance and changing habits. Why? Because changing a habit is hard. The...
Rhythm Of Rest
Rest is paramount to a powerful life. Our lives are made up of many different rhythms. Some of which we choose and some that choose us. We ebb and flow through tasks, relationships, and every kind of emotion. Most of the time at a frenzied and chaotic pace. Take a...
The SELF Check
Stress. It’s a problem. Emotions tend to run the show. Our goal today is to learn how to de-escalate and regulate our response to stress and the frenzy of emotions caused by this type of tension. The best way to practice this is through a SELF Check. This is a simple...
The Power Pause
When trying to change a habitual thought pattern or behavior it is critical to practice what I like to call: the power pause. What is it and why is it important? The power pause helps us create a tiny pocket of time where our mind has an opportunity to override our...
Stand Firm In The Fight
We all have habits we want to break. Something we want to change. This struggle is as old as Adam and Eve. We seek to satisfy cravings, needs and alleviate feelings of discomfort with all matter of things that will never do the job and in the end, leave us feeling...
