COMMUNITY is necessary for LIVING FULLY ALIVE

Just Live Podcast 64 - How important is MEANING?
By Dan and Suzie Potter

“What is the Meaning of this?”

This is one of the greatest questions you can ask. Movies, Music, Art, Literature, Culture and Language all require MEANING. Every conversation, connection, concern and conflict is woven together or shedded because of meaning.

Today we often look for the correct answer, but the secret to Living Fully Alive is to look for MEANING. It is a great adventure that leads to discovery and delight.

Join us this week as we as Dan and Suzie open up the discussion on MEANING.

Thank you for taking time to think about MEANING.

Just Live Podcast 63 - How does AWE look in your LIFE?
by Dan and Suzie Potter

We are surrounded by that which is wonderful, majestic, and magnificent. But often we do not notice. We were created to behold the transcendent, though we would never fully understand.

We call this very important emotion - AWE!

It is our belief that if we are to live fully alive we must regularly experience the power of AWE. It lets us remember what is truly great and small, as well as our connection to the Divine.

This week we will take you deep inside of Zion National Park and talk about AWE!

Thank you for taking time to think about AWE.

Just Live Podcast 62 - How important is BEAUTY?
by Dan & Suzie Potter

They say BEAUTY is in the eye of the beholder, but BEAUTY is adorable whether we are looking at it or not.

This week as we traveled through some of the most barren land in America, we couldn't help seeing all the inspiring BEAUTY. We deeply appreciate the beauty of nature and can clearly see God's hand in making all things BEAUTIFUL in its own time. BEAUTY always seems to show the creators great detail and love for all he has created.

We noticed that BEAUTY also gives us life. When we walk among the trees, scan the distant mountain ranges, or observe the deer watching you from the roadside. We realize that we are surrounded by BEAUTY and we just need to stop and notice. We must take time to behold all the BEAUTY, because if God cared enough to make all that, how much more does he care for us.

To live, Just Live, **we must notice our surroundings and be thankful for all that lifts our souls to divine spaces, to places where BEAUTY is screaming . . . look at me, look at me!

Thank you for taking time to think about BEAUTY.**

Just Live Podcast 57 - Living a LIFE of LEGACY
By Dan & Suzie Potter

Living a life of legacy refers to the idea of making choices and taking actions that will leave a positive and lasting life impact on the world and the people around you. It's about focusing on the things you want to leave behind, especially in people, but could be the contributions you've made or the positive changes you've brought about, even after you're gone.

Ultimately, living a life of legacy is a deeply personal journey. It's about consciously choosing to make a positive impact, whether big or small, and leaving the world better than you found it. It's also about how you are remembered by those whose lives you touch, as your legacy is not solely defined by your actions but also by their perception of you and the impact you had on them.

The truth is living a life of legacy is not about someday, but about today. How are you focusing on the thinks that really matter?

Thank you for taking time to think about your LEGACY

Just Live Podcast 048 - Intentional Connection 7 BLIND
By Dan & Suzie Potter

Do you TRUST ME?

The truth is, TRUST in any relationship is crucial. That's why this week in the INTENTIONAL CONNECTION we are going BLIND.

BLIND is a date or moment making idea that requires TRUST and RESPONSIBILITY.

All you will need is a blindfold, a path and hopefully an hour in which to grow your unique connection.

One is blindfolded and the other leads down a path, through a store or around a park. You can lead by touching and talking, just touching or just talking. Each way requires a new experience in TRUST.

After a hour hour switch roles and begin again.

When you finish, find a place to sit and laugh, talk about the experience and enjoy the moment.

In this Podcast we will take you on one of our BLIND dates. We hope you enjoy it.

Just Live Podcast 46 - Intentional Connection #5 "WHAT?"
by Dan & Suzie Potter

Are you ready to grow your Unique Connection? Start with the word "WHAT?"

What brings you Joy?
What do you value in people?
What causes you to get angry?
What is your concept of God?
What could I do to make your life better?
What did you once believe that you no longer believe?
What is one change that you think I should make?

Every question can lead to a great conversation and every conversation can lead to growth in your connection.

Take time this week to talk about something you do not understand. This could be about the other person, about your life, about God, or anything else. Then take time to discuss it. You don't have to find a solution, just work together through your "WHAT".

Just Live Podcast 43 - How can you connect with a fun experience?
By Dan & Suzie Potter

This week in our INTENTIONAL CONNECTIONS we are helping you create a fun experience called "OPEN WIDE".

Begin by choosing a meal where you must feed the other. The one who is being fed first has no use of their arms, so they must totally depend on the other to feed and give them drink. Once the one has eaten, switch roles.

Make sure you take time to laugh, there is no room in this experience for perfection, just a whole lot of fun!

During this INTENTIONAL CONNECTION look for the following to grow:

TRUST & VULNERABILIY
PHYSICAL TOUCH & INTIMACY
MINDFUL PRESENCE & FOCUS
SHARED EXPERIENCE & BONDING
PLAYFULNESS & JOY
EMOTIONAL NOURISHMENT

Thank you for taking time to OPEN WIDE and create your Intentional Connection.

by Dan & Suzie Potter

This summer we are walking and talking through what it means to BE INTENTIONAL in your relationships, especially as a couple. As a result of each episode we hope you will try, enjoy and allow yourselves to grow your Unique Connections.

The first INTENTIONAL CONNECTION is to have a formal (or not so formal) Candlelight Meal. Make it a special day, so get dressed up or very comfortable and have an intentional meal with lights dimmed or out and only a candle burning. Spend the meal looking at each other through the glimmer of the candle and brag about them to them. Please leave the phones and other noise makers in the other room, except perhaps a lite touch of smooth jazz or it's equal.

Take time to create the following:

Intimacy & Ambience
Relaxation & Stress Reduction
Sensory Stimulation (Sight, Smell, etc.)
Communication & Connection
Emotional Impact

Just Live Podcast 40 - How does PERSPECTIVE move your IDENTITY?
by Dan & Suzie Potter

A few years ago we read the book “Life is in the Transitions” twice! The author spoke about major life transitions as Life Quakes. As we charted our life, as a couple, it seems we have experienced a Life Quake about every 4 years since we got married.

In every transition, whether small tremor or off the chart Life Quake, we always get to choose our perspective, either towards a positive or negative belief.

Often there are inciting incidents that shake us up enough that we must engage our thoughts and feelings. This process forces us to make a choice towards a negative or positive mindset. These choices, consciously or unconsciously, establish our perspective.

Some of the negative (wounding) response could include:
* Overwhelm * Busyness * Stress * Worry * Lack of skills * Unattainable or unrealistic expectations * Trauma * Shame * Brokenness * Lies * Rejection * Failure * Complacency * Unbelief * Response or lack or responses

Some of the positive (awakening) responses could be:
* Truth * Curiosity * Restoration * Success * Awe * Spark * Hope * Support * Belief * Faith * Love * Benefit to self or others * Beauty * Dignity * Meaning

Consider for yourself some of the wounding negative experiences that take you in a downward spiral for you in this season of your life. Consider what you can do, think or feel to take the upward into a positive space?

Create a short plan/statement:
When _____________ (the negative situation) happens … I will choose to ___________________ (the positive thought / feeling / action). Try this for each of the negative responses you identify.

Philippians 4:8Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
It is important, if you desire to grow your identity you must learn how to choose to awaken a new story, even in the midst of what seems to be an old story.

Here’s the thing, choosing the right perspective takes daily work, as you go from what you think and feel to the positive perspective you choose to believe. This moves your Identity forward . . . Try it!

Fully Alive!

Just Live Podcast 39 - How do your experiences shape your IDENTITY?
by Dan & Suzie Potter

When we were young parents we travelled a lot with our young sons. Both Joshua and Josiah had passports before they turned 2 weeks old. As a family we experienced different people, different foods, different cultures, different time zones and different animals.

One of these animals happened to be a 50 pound male Baboon that jumped through our car window in South Africa. He quickly attacked the boys, but Dan and a few invisible angels fought the beast around the inside of the car and finally out the passenger door, before we took Dan to the hospital.

That was an experience in which our 3 month old quickly forgot, our 3 year old had nightmares about and that Dan’s dislocated shoulder gave him pain for the next 7 years.

Although this experience took place 30 years ago, it still lingers deep in our past, shows up today in our family stories, and perhaps it will be retold in the future when that baboon, car and we are long gone.

Your experiences are made up from events and situations that you encounter throughout your life. They can be positive or negative and can include everything from joyful moments with loved ones to challenging situations that test your resilience and dislocate your shoulder. Your experiences help shape your perspectives, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors, they also play a critical role in shaping your identity.

The truth is your past, present, and future are all essential aspects of your life experiences, they interconnect and outer connect who you are and what you do. The past provides all of us with a foundation for our identity and shapes our experiences, while the present is where we all are currently living and experiencing life. The future which is created by your goals, aspirations and the surprises ahead connect you to who you will become and what you will leave behind.

Here’s the thing, your experiences are the billboard of your life, they identify you and inform all those around you, who you really are. Your identity, experiences, and the past, present, and future are all intertwined aspects of your life and they shape who you are and the goals you set for ourselves. By understanding these connections, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your place in the world.So if you don’t want an experience to shape you, roll up the window, drive faster, and keep the beasts outside, but if you want to fill your life with some fresh air open your window and slow down a bit . . . and see what jumps into your life.

Take time everyday to write your experiences in a journal, tell them to a friend or just reflect upon their impact upon who you are.

Please contact us in any of the ways we are connected to give a response, ask a question, or even share an emotional outburst!

Just Live Podcast 38 - What is your CREATIVE IDENTITY?
by Dan & Suzie Potter

Are You Creative?

Creativity can be described as the ability to generate new and original ideas, concepts, or solutions. It involves using imagination, insight, intuition, and a willingness to take risks and try new things.YOU were created to be "Creative", to see things in a unique way and make connections between seemingly unrelated concepts. YOU are able to think outside of the box and YOU can come up with innovative solutions to challenges, because YOU are in the image of God & He is creative.

But you might have forgotten or been told you where not creative. If you desire to return to your "CREATIVE" self, and build your Creative Identity just begin to . . .

CREATE
We will use CREATE as an Acronym … write it on down the side of your paper, for those taking notes.

1. CHOOSE - “I Want To Be CREATIVE!” It starts with your CHOICE to be creative, then try the other ideas to spark your creativity!

2. RECAPTURE your Kid - Give yourself permission to Daydream and listen to your imagination. Kids are brilliant at imagination and daydreams and everything is real to them. Allow yourself to dip into daydreams & imagination.

3. EXPOSE Yourself to New Experiences - If you are one of those people who like it the same every time, try doing something different and see the creative sparks fly. Try a new taste, take a new route to work or school, enjoy a new season (Spring sparks so much creativity for us), or say YES to something healthy you usually wouldn't try.

4. ARREST Your Creative Thieves - What stops you from thinking and acting creatively? That is your "Creative Thief". Arrest / stop that from happening and release your CREATIVITY freedom.

5. TRANSFORM the Norm - Be Curious, ask "what if" and move out of your new normal space.

6. EMBRACE Rest - Relax and enjoy life (it is a fast restart to creativity). Regular "OFF" days or parts of the day can allow your creativity to flourish freshly.

How does likes, dislikes and hobbies make you UNIQUE?
By Dan & Suzie Potter

Identity is a complex and multifaceted concept that is influenced by a variety of factors, but there are 3 influences that often are forgotten.

What you LIKE
What you DISLIKE
What you choose as a HOBBY

Your likes, dislikes and hobbies play a huge part in who you are.

There are 12 aspects of IDENTITY (who you are + where you fit) They include personality, attitude, likes/dislikes, goals, experiences, habits, hobbies, passions, creativity, perspective, God/ connections, and other.

When you think about your LIKES, DISLIKES and HOBBIES what comes to your mind? Do you have a strong opinion about Food, School Subjects, Places, People, Music, Games, Weather, Movies, Culture, Taxes, Politics? Are you drawn into the world of art, science, history, or math? Do you find yourself building, planting, creating, restoring or competing? There are many things from this list could bring to you enjoyment or pleasure, while others items might be repulsive or fearful.

Likes, dislikes and hobbies can play a role in shaping your identity, as they can reflect your personal preferences, values, and beliefs. For example, if a person likes to read, they may identify as an intellectual or a lifelong learner. Conversely, if a person dislikes certain foods, they may identify as a picky eater or someone who is health-conscious. If you are a painter, that may identify you as a creative. It's important to note that likes, dislikes and hobbies can also be influenced by a variety of external factors, such as cultural norms, social pressure, religious view points and personal experiences or expressions. As a result, these areas may change over time as you are exposed to new experiences, people and perspectives.

The truth is when it comes to your IDENTITY and your UNIQUENESS it has to do with how you THINK + FEEL … which causes you to CHOOSE a life preference which shapes you.

Identity is all about who you are, where you spend your time, energy and money. How you relax and find fulfillment, as well as, what you criticize, avoid and get angry about.
When you take time to identify your LIKES, DISLIKES and HOBBIES you will be able to quickly discover where you express, grow, connect, develop skills, build confidence, and explore, all of which can and will, contribute to your sense of identity.

Just Live Podcast 036 - How does Attitude Focus your Identity?
by Dan & Suzie Potter

Attitude is a powerful force that shapes our thoughts, actions, and ultimately, our FULLY ALIVE LIFE. It's the lens through which we see the world, and it has a significant impact on our happiness, success, and overall well-being.

In this blog post, we'll explore the importance of having a positive attitude and how it can **transform your life.

Mental Health
First and foremost, a positive attitude is crucial for maintaining good mental health. When we have a positive outlook on life, we're more resilient to stress and better equipped to handle challenges that come our way. We're also less likely to experience depression and anxiety, and more likely to have a sense of purpose and meaning** in our lives.

Physical Health
In addition to mental health benefits, a positive attitude can also improve our physical health. Studies have shown that people with a positive attitude have **lower rates of cardiovascular disease, better immune function, and longer life expectancy.

Emotional Health
But how do we cultivate a positive attitude? It starts with our thoughts. Our thoughts have a powerful influence on our emotions and behavior**, so it's essential to be mindful of the kind of thoughts we entertain. Instead of dwelling on negative thoughts, try focusing on the good things in your life and expressing gratitude for them.

Social Health
Another way to cultivate a positive attitude is to surround yourself with positive people. Negative people can bring us down and drain our energy, while positive people can lift us up and inspire us to be our best selves.

In the Podcast we will unpack Psalms 23 and see how it is the ATTITUDE LENS for our lives.

Finally, it's important to remember that having a positive attitude doesn't mean ignoring or denying negative emotions. It's natural to experience sadness, anger, and frustration, but a positive attitude means acknowledging these emotions and finding constructive ways to deal with them.

In conclusion, having a positive attitude is crucial for our overall well-being. By cultivating a positive mindset, surrounding ourselves with positive people, and dealing with negative emotions in a constructive way, we can transform our lives and achieve greater happiness and success.

Just Live Podcast 035 - How is PERSONALITY Connected to your IDENTITY?
by Dan & Suzie Potter

Your PERSONALITY is a significant part of your IDENTITY. It is the set of characteristics and traits that define how you think, feel & behave in different situations and with various people.

There are over 2500 personality tests/questionaires ... WOW this can be overload!

Knowing PERSONALITIES helps YOU! And it helps you engage with others in relationships and social interactions.

Here are some of the BENEFITS of understanding PERSONALITY TYPES:
1. You can appreciate different perspectives of others around you
2. You can recognize individual strengths & weaknesses & challenges of yourself and in others
3. You can adjust your approach to others by being more aware
4. It helps you develop curiosity & openness to others
5. It helps you improve communication and relationships with others
6. It helps you resolve conflicts in a healthy others-focused way
7. It allows for increased empathy for others and self-awareness personally, and builds a greater sense of community & belonging
8. It will promote greater success in work and life, with more informed decisions
9. It will help you develop authenticity, being true to yourself, rather than conforming to social norms

The first PERSONALITY typing system we were exposed to in our 20's was the "4 Temperaments" (also the "DISC" or "4 Animals" test). It gave us real understanding of ourselves individually, and shaped how we uniquely raised our 2 sons. It also was a yearly training for us within OM especially how it relates to teams working together.

"Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator" was the next level personality typing system that influenced us comparing extraversion-interversion, sensing-intuition, thinking-feeling, judging-perceiving. We are completely different on each of these spectrums except that we are both more intuitive. This allows us to have a more well rounded perspective on life and people around us.

Learning our STRENGTHS with "Strength Finders" allowed us to show up strong in our unique gifts, and the importance of finding teams that are good complements of others using their strong gifts as a contribution to the whole.

The most important PERSONALITY typing system we recently encountered is the "ENNEAGRAM". We learned so much about ourselves and others around us using it, that Suzie got certified as an Enneagram Coach! We now use different parts of the ENNEAGRAM regularly in our "Seasons of Life" COUPLE's Program, coaching others, and general engagement as we journey with people.

If you want to learn more about yourself and your PERSONALITY with the ENNEAGRAM, feel free to take our "SIMPLE ENNEAGRAM" 6-part self paced course, coupled with 3 (or more) Coaching sessions.

Your IDENTITY is YOU! Knowing your PERSONALITY helps you see how God uniquely created you to LIVE FULLY ALIVE and help others do the same!

Just Live Podcast 033 - How does MOMENTUM become a Way of LIFE?by Dan & Suzie Potter

Momentum can be described as a state of motion, forward energy or progress that is maintained through continuous effort and focus. When applied to a your life, it means consistently moving forward and making progress towards your life and relationship goals. Building and maintaining momentum requires discipline, perseverance, and a positive attitude. It can and will lead to a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.

"Momentum as a Way of Life" is all about building momentum through daily actions and rhythms. A “Way of Life” is a philosophy that enables a person to reach any goal. When you consistently move forward, come what may, you can maintain forward progress and grow towards your desired way of living life.
The Bible shows many people who were living on purpose with life direction. None of them were perfect, nor expected to be, but they demonstrated a strong sense of momentum. Think about Adam & Eve, Noah, Abraham & Sarah, Moses, David, Esther, Ruth and Daniel. They all faced challenges and obstacles, butthey persevered and remained focused, moving forward and finishing well. They established life rhythms, relationships, relied on their faith and moved with God.

The truth is, having life momentum is tied directly to living out your purpose and fulfilling God's plan for your life. If you are not sure what your purpose is, it is simple: LOVE. Love God, each other and yourself. When you LOVE, you will make a positive impact in the world.

Momentum as a Way of Life continues to plant and grow Faith, Hope and Love . . . it is the recipe for an unshakeable Life.

In the book of Philippians, Paul emphasizes the importance of perseverance and maintaining momentum, saying, "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me." (Philippians 3:12). This verse encourages us to keep moving forward, even when faced with challenges and obstacles. It motivates us to continue pursuing the desires God has put upon our hearts with determination and persistence as a Way of Life.

Today take a minute and establish one "Way of Life" that will help you live with forward MOMENTUM. What will help you in your Way of Life? If we can help you in any way, let’s connect!

If you need any help we have a coaching program called "MOMENTUM CHALLENGE 90" that will help you find your WHY and move forward successfully. Let us know how we can help you LIVE FULLY ALIVE!

Just Live Podcast 032 -What makes that IMPORTANT to YOU?
by Dan & Suzie Potter

What makes something important to someone can vary greatly from person to person. It may be a value or belief that they hold dear, a personal experience that has shaped their worldview, or simply something that brings them joy and fulfillment.In the process of growing momentum in your life you must ask yourself “What makes that important to you” many times. It is the one question that can funnel a lot of possible answers into your solid gold reason for moving forward.For some people their funnel of questions brings them towards family or relationships as the most important things in life. As a result they begin to prioritize spending time with loved ones, making meaningful connections, and building a sense of community.

Other people may funnel down to a place where their high value is on personal growth and self-improvement, thus they seek out opportunities to learn new skills, challenge themselves, and explore their potential.

Perhaps the question asked over and over again leads towards your career or financial stability. Momentum is focused upon striving for success in their chosen field, working hard to achieve financial security, or seeking out opportunities to advance your career and achieve your goals.

Today we have seen many people who funnel down to health and well-being. These are also critical factors that can shape a person's priorities. They may prioritize exercise, healthy eating, and self-care, seeking to maintain a healthy body and mind. Some may also prioritize social justice and advocacy, working to create positive change in their communities and fight for causes they believe in.

Ultimately, what makes something important to someone is a highly personal and subjective matter. It may be shaped by a range of factors, including personal beliefs, experiences, and aspirations.

Here's the thing, to find your WHY, you need to funnel several surface answers down to your deep core golden nugget of WHY you are wanting to move forward. You do this by asking one question "What makes that IMPORTANT to YOU?" over and over, at least 5 layers deep. When you are honest with yourself and do the hard word of digging down the funnel you will know your WHY. This action will help keep you rolling forward.

When you identify and prioritize the things that matter most, you will lead a more fulfilling and purposeful life, we call it "FULLY ALIVE"!

If you need any help we have a coaching program called "MOMENTUM CHALLENGE 90" that will help you find your WHY and move forward successfully. Let us know how we can help you LIVE FULLY ALIVE!

Just Live Podcast 031 - How do you know if you are making PROGRESS?
by Dan & Suzie Potter

To determine if you are making progress with your MOMENTUM, you need to have a clear understanding of what you desire and what steps you can take to move or breathe life into your goals. Here the steps we are taking:

NO - You first must realize that you might be stuck and you need some important information that if followed can begin you on a path of momentum. This is stuck inertia.
KNOW - This is your information. Do the research, hire a coach, plan your momentum journey. You still have not moved, but you have filled your tank and turned the key.
SLOW - Now you begin to rock forward. You are putting into practice the information and taking the risk to roll. It is not fast, but you are moving . . . celebrate! You now have moving inertia.
GO - Your KNOW and SLOW have given way to a new formation of your life, where newly formed habits and rhythms propel you forward. You are in motion, but you still require focus.
FLOW - Your life momentum has transformed your desire into a lifestyle. You are now fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement and enjoyment in the process of your momentum. It grows your fully alive life.

Overall, making progress requires a combination of steps. Sometimes it is two steps forward and one step back, but do not give up, it is all part of your progress.

Take time to identify your desire or goals that you want momentum in. What step are you on and what will it take to make progress to the next step? Do not fear, risk it and step forward and experience your MOMENTUM PROGRESS.

If you need any help we have a coaching program called "MOMENTUM CHALLENGE 90" that will help you FILL UP and MOVE FORWARD into your FLOW. Let us know how we can help you keep moving.

Just Live Podcast 30 - How do you know what areas you need MOMENTUM in? By Dan & Suzie Potter

"Fill up your Life Tanks" is an expression that means to do the things that will bring LIFE, fulfillment, and inner peace into your whole person. It reminds you that in addition to taking care of your physical needs, such as eating healthy and getting enough sleep, it's equally important to nourish your mental, spiritual, emotional and relational well-being.

There are many different ways to fill up your Life Tanks, depending on your interests and preferences. Some people find that spending time in nature, practicing meditation, listening to music, reading, or spending time with loved ones creates your wholeness. Others may find that pursuing creative hobbies, volunteering, or practicing self-care activities such as taking a relaxing bath or getting a massage can help take your from empty to full.

Whatever activities bring you a sense of peace, worth, belonging and fulfillment, it's important to make time for them in your life.

Momentum is your life moving forward, towards what your being desires, but where to start?

Stress and procrastination are closely connected. We have found this to be true in our lives.

When we experience stress, our body releases a hormone called cortisol, which can interfere with our ability to think clearly and make decisions. This can make it more difficult to focus on tasks and can lead to procrastination.

Additionally, when we feel stressed, we may feel overwhelmed or anxious about the tasks we need to complete. This can cause us to avoid the tasks and put them off, leading to procrastination.

Procrastination, in turn, can also increase stress levels. When we put off tasks, we may feel guilty or anxious about not getting things done.

This can cause us to feel even more stressed and can create a cycle of procrastination and stress. Procrastination causes stress and stress causes us to procrastinate.

When we experience stress, our body's "fight or flight" response is triggered. This response is meant to protect us in dangerous situations by releasing hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. However, when this response is activated too frequently or for too long, it can have negative effects on our physical and mental health.

One way that stress can affect our ability to focus and make decisions is by interfering with our prefrontal cortex, which is the part of the brain responsible for executive functions like planning, decision-making, and impulse control. When cortisol levels are elevated (when we have stress), the prefrontal cortex can become less active, making it more difficult to think clearly and make decisions.

This can make it harder to start or complete tasks, leading to procrastination. In fact, research has shown that high levels of stress are associated with increased procrastination behavior.

Procrastination, in turn, can also increase stress levels. When we put off tasks, we may feel guilty or anxious about not getting things done. This can cause us to feel even more stressed and can create a cycle of procrastination and stress.

To break this cycle, it's important to find ways to manage stress and to develop strategies for overcoming procrastination. This may include taking breaks to relax and recharge, practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or mindfulness, using time-management techniques to prioritize tasks and break them down into smaller, more manageable steps, and seeking support from others (friends, family, or a mental health professional) when needed.

By managing stress and taking steps to overcome procrastination, we can improve our productivity and reduce feelings of overwhelm and anxiety. This, in turn, can help us lead healthier and a more FULLY ALIVE LIFE. Listen to our "Just Live Podcast with Dan & Suzie" episode 022 - 29 for more personal unpacking of your MOMENTUM

Procrastination Kills Momentum

By Dan & Suzie Potter

It may sound a bit dramatic but your PROCRASTINATION is slowly killing your MOMENTUM.We believe your life was created on purpose for a purpose. But when you allow fear, perfectionism, and lack of motivation to distract and stop the progress . . . then your ideas, goals and dreams are sabotaged by YOU! The best version of you is never realized.

The truth is procrastination is not your friend. It is actually you, consciously or subconsciously desiring to feel good right now. YOU give yourself permission to avoid the hard road and take the detour, which means you are unable reach what you truly desire.

Here’s the thing, your procrastination is the reason you are not already celebrating success around losing weight, writing your book, applying for that job, running that marathon or a hundred others things that you wish for.

This year we are focusing on our momentum, thus we must spotlight our giants and fight our procrastination everyday. Sometimes we stop the killer and march forward, while on other days we wonder off and our momentum dies. Sadly, sometimes we even get comfortable in being stuck.

But over the past few months we have discovered and put into action these 7 STEPS TO OVERCOME PROCRASTINATION. We must speak out that will enable us to intentionally slay the giant every time.

Recognize the Killer - You! You embrace your stress, anxiety and fear. You must take responsibility for your detour and refuse to allow your giant to alarm and stop you. Say: “I am killing my momentum".
Speak Life - Now that you have taken responsibility, let it go. Say: “I am not a PROCRASTINATOR” (replace it with "I procrastinate"). It is not who you are, do not let it be your identity. Now move forward.
Break Tasks into Smaller Pieces - Change your overwhelming task to an over-capable moment as you break it into smaller, more manageable pieces. This will make it easier to get started and can help you feel more in control. Try to break it down into something you can do in 5 or 10 minutes. Say: “Oh, I can do that”.
Set Goals and Deadlines - Embrace your timeline by setting specific goals and deadlines that will help you stay motivated and on track. Make sure your goals are realistic and achievable. Say: “Here is what I am doing, the location and when I am doing it” (what, where & when).
Eliminate Distractions - Do an inventory of your distractions. Is it your phone, game, show, friend, hobby or social status that is distracting you? YES! So take action and limit and eliminate your procrastination triggers. Say: “You will have to wait until I am finished with my important progress”.
Reward Yourself - Create a reward system for yourself for after you complete a task. Say: "I can now enjoy my phone, game, show, friend, hobby, or social status” (make sure it is a healthy reward in line with your momentum). Better yet, take yourself on a life-giving walk.
Practice Self-Compassion - Don’t beat yourself up if you do procrastinate again. Instead, practice self-compassion, forgive yourself, remember that everyone struggles with procrastination at times and move forward again. Say: "I celebrate all by success so I will not dwell on one fail.” (Only allow yourself to procrastinate once, then back to your forward momentum!)

Procrastination is a difficult habit to break, but with effort and commitment, it is possible to overcome it and find your momentum. By understanding the causes of procrastination and implementing the 7 STEPS to overcome it, you can become more productive and achieve your goals. Remember this is your battle for you, speak to yourself and the giant and stop your killer.

Momentum through Good News Glasses

Dan & Suzie Potter

What you look for you will find.Jesus wore a pair of "Good News Glasses". He was characterized by compassion, love, humility, and selflessness, because he looked into dark spaces so he could light it up.

We all wear glasses, they are either with rose-colored or color-cancelling lenses. If, like Jesus, we choose to see the world around us as a place to grow love and compassion, to emphasize the importance of forgiveness, humility, and treating others with kindness and respect . . . our life momentum will enhance beautiful colors of life.If we live focused on the Color-Cancelling Lens side (the dark side), our perspective or attitude could point towards fear, pessimism, and judgement . . . we will live with an unhealthy negative or doubtful outlook.

"Momentum through Good News Glasses” refers to a mindset or approach that prioritizes forward movement and progress, rather than dwelling on past events or shortcomings. Good News Glasses is where you view the world with true optimism and positivity, without dwelling on the negative aspects. Not that the darkness does not exist, but your forward momentum is founded upon a positive, good news outlook on life. As an added bonus, you have the possibility of encouraging others to adopt this way of thinking, because it can be contagious.

Momentum at its best focuses on serving a world of people through lenses that make everything seem brighter and more beautiful.

Your perspective, attitude, and focus can shape every experience you have with people and the outcome of every encounter. If your daily life has a positive and proactive outlook, you will be more likely to find momentum opportunities and solutions. While if you have a negative and reactive outlook, you will be more likely to find yourself “stuck” just looking at the challenges and problems.

The truth is your glasses, the way you see the world around you, will influence the way you interpret events and interactions. This will lead you to find what you are looking for, be it positive or negative outcomes.

Jesus seemed to think that you were going to be the light of the world, and you were to let your shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. (see John 5:14 - 16)

Here’s the thing, if you want your life to have real momentum, you must open your eyes to see the world as a beautiful place with beautiful people in which you can grow love and compassion. But if you are walking blind, you will remain “stuck" in the fear that you are some kind of victim upon this most dangerous planet.

We encourage you to have "Momentum through Good News Glasses".

How do you SUPPORT your MOMENTUM?
**Dan & Suzie Potter

MOMENTUM is movement**, but often times when your MOMENTUM is a solo experience your progress is slow and often stops completely. This leads to thoughts of failure and feelings that your choice was unimportant.

It is very crucial to see your MOMENTUM by tracking your progress and maintaining a sense of forward MOMENTUM in achieving one’s CHOICES.

When tracking one’s MOMENTUM, accountability can be the game changer. Having others on your journey will help to ensure that your time and energy are being used effectively and that your goals are being met in a timely manner.

Surrounding yourself with a person or a group, gives a strong sense of support, as well as, responsibility. Accountability can involve setting specific goals, creating measurable targets and regularly reviewing journey to ensure that progress is being made. They also help you make adjustments if necessary.

We believe every CHOICE towards life MOMENTUM needs 5 relationships:

CHEERLEADER they encourage you and celebrate your victories
CHALLENGER they push you to do hard things and grow
PARTNER they agree to move with you on the same journey
MENTOR they have success in your area of growth and guide you along
MENTEE they are watching you to see if they too could do the same

Here’s the thing, you were created for community, you need people. You many not run the marathon with them, but . . .

A CHEERLEADER might help. Can you ask a few people you know to support you, they can ask you how your are doing, send you encouragement or just celebrate every mile marker.

A CHALLENGER might help. They will be invited by you to be like a coach to help you win, to grow, to remember and to kick your butt on those days when you just want to give up.

A PARTNER might help. They are another person who desires the same MOMENTUM as you, look for them and invite them to come along side.
A MENTOR might help. They have been up the mountain and can guide you on the best ways for you to prepare, climb and reach your mountain.

A MENTEE might help. They are watching you to see if you can make it, because they want to come to. They will give you a sense of responsibility to see this as more then a moment for you, but a movement for others.

The TRUTH is success is possible, but hard. When you take the time to surround yourself with the right people your strengthen as well as grow your chances of finishing well.

So take inventory of your CHOICE, who do you need to add to your journey? Take time to invite them on your team.

How do you GROW your HABITS?
Dan & Suzie Potter

Slow down your life for a second and take a look into your MOMENTUM.

MOMENTUM is that force that keeps you moving in a certain direction, propelling you forward to accomplish your CHOICES.

HABITS, on the other hand, are the actions or patterns of behavior that you repeat regularly both intentionally and subconsciously that cause your choice to become a reality.

Suzie has been HABIT STACKING for years. In 2023 she is choosing a new HABIT of dancing every day. She chooses to dance for 5 minutes a day, which makes this a MINI HABIT and it is so easy to check off that she did it. She normally dances a bit longer because she’s got MOMENTUM and that helps her continue successfully each day.

MINI HABITS are important because they are an easy accomplishment. Begin by choosing to do something in the direction of your new BIG GOAL for only 5 minutes a day and a few things will happen.

You will prove to yourself that you can do it.
You grow your “muscles” for it in the process.
You will find yourself “in the mode” and do it a bit longer which reinforces and strengthens your HABIT.

As of January 1, 2023, Dan made a CHOICE to return to the weight he was at his wedding. He has gained 50 pounds over the last 37 years and has chosen to lose that 50 pounds in 52 weeks. That is his CHOICE, what he desires to have MOMENTUM towards. Now he must set the HABITS that will promote the CHOSEN MOMENTUM.

Here are his top 5 new HABITS to align his life rhythms with his CHOICE:

Walk over 10,000 steps daily
Drink a gallon of water daily
Track his eating with the “Lose it app” staying under 1800 calories daily
Have 3 workouts per week
Make his HABITS accountable to Suzie

At the time of this writing he is entering the third week of January and he has 45 pounds to go. He has reached a 10% MOMENTUM mark. Celebrate!When it comes to personal development whether diet, health, sleep, stress, relationships, growth, or mindset, building momentum through the formation of good HABITS is crucial. By consistently taking small but meaningful actions towards a desired outcome, you can gradually build MOMENTUM that will carry you forward. For example, if our goal is to exercise more, you can start by going for a short walk every day and gradually increase the duration and intensity over time. By making this a GROWING HABIT, you will be more likely to stick with it and build MOMENTUM towards your life CHOICE.

So if you want to have MOMENTUM in your life, you must CHOOSE HABITS. Start by looking at ones you can make into MINI HABITS and over time GROW them. That is MOMENTUM.What is ONE HABIT you can commit a 5 minute a day MINI HABIT? This will get you going in the right direction and give you MOMENTUM!

How does CLARITY launch your MOMENTUM?By Dan & Suzie Potter

MOMENTUM is a powerful force that can help you achieve your goals and move closer to what causes you to be FULLY ALIVE. It's the driving force God uses to help you be you, and keep you moving forward, even when you encounter obstacles or setbacks.

We have found that MOMENTUM begins with CLARITY

If you desire your life to have MOMENTUM you must Clarify your sense of direction and purpose. Clarity will push you forward, rolling your MOMENTUM towards your intentional life direction.

To find CLARITY it is helpful to draw a 3 circle target. On the inner smallest circle write WHY. Your WHY will clarify the life towards which you are aiming.

For us our WHY ARE WE ALIVE is simple . . . Love. We were created to:

Love God because he exudes Love
Love ourselves because we are created full of wonder and awe
Love everyone else within our reach, because they to are in God’s image

The next circle moving out is HOW. Your HOW will clarify WHY you do what you do, as you move towards your life momentum.

For us our HOW ARE WE ALIVE is found in living out our unique passions and skills.

The last and largest circle is WHAT. Your WHAT will clarify HOW you do what you do, as you move towards the life momentum.

For us our WHAT answers the question, What do we offer the world? We believe your life is a remarkable story, a story only you can create. So what can we do to help you put LIVING back into LIFE so you can LIVE FULLY ALIVE everyday?

The truth is clarifying your MOMENTUM takes time, so you must be patient and persistent in your study of YOU. It's important that you don’t get stuck. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, even when progress seems slow. Trust that every small step you take will bringing you closer to your WHY, HOW and WHAT. For more on this tool check out Simon Sinek & the Golden Circle.

We believe you were created on purpose for a purpose. Your Creator created you to be FULLY ALIVE! This means you've embraced your WHY, HOW and WHAT. This clarity will begin to push your MOMENTUM forward. If there is any way we can help you with your Clarity please reach out to us.

ONE WORD Can Change EverythingBy Dan & Suzie Potter

We stand at the beginning of a new year, perhaps the best year of your life. It is like starting a grand journey where adventure, loss, courage and awe lay just head. But can we stop you here at your first step and ask 3 questions:

Where are you going?
How will you get there?
What are you expecting?

It has been said, “what you look for you will find” and “what you feed will grow”. So we invite you to map out a word or two that will serve as your compass, come what may.

Here’s the thing, a motivational word can powerfully serve as a daily reminder of what you want to grow, achieve, become and focus on over the next 52 weeks.

We started this practice of “Word of the Year” several years ago. During the first few weeks of a new year we choose a word or two which becomes our mindset, map and mantra in the days to come. Here is our list:

**2016 - “PASSION”
2017 - “ADVENTURE”
2018 - “JUST LIVE”
2019 - “THRIVE”
2020 - “FULLY ALIVE”
2021 - “COURAGEOUS IMAGINATION”
2022 - “YES”

For 2023 we are excited to follow “MOMENTUM.”** How about you?

One motivational word can be an important factor in helping you achieve your goals and live a fulfilling life.

Some people find it helpful to choose a “Word of the Year” or phrase that resonates with them at their age and stage of life. For example, you might choose a word like "courage" or "resilience" to remind yourself to stay strong and persevere in the face of upcoming challenges or changes. Alternatively, you might choose a word like "gratitude" or "compassion" to remind yourself to focus on the positive and grow your character of kindness to others.

Whatever word you choose, it's important to keep it in mind and in front of your eyes. We stick it on the mirror, paint it on canvas, and journal it often. Every year it has been as a source of inspiration and guidance as we navigate through the new year.

We have found that our “Word of the Year” launches our forward momentum. This is why we say: “ONE WORD can change everything, especially me!”The truth is, this year will come with its own list of words to weigh you down or you can choose:

Where are you going?
How will you get there?
What are you expecting?

. . . with your ONE WORD.

If you have your ONE WORD, or theme of the year, we would love to hear it. Send us a note here: connect@duzie.com

If we can help you in any way to find and release your “Word of the Year” into 2023 please let us know.

Have a focused new year!DUZIE.com

How to reALIGN your CHOICES with SELF-CONTROLBy Dan & Suzie Potter

The Dan & Suzie story contains many chapters when we have made poor CHOICES, those CHOICES have always led us into regret, disunity, loss and stuck-ness (body, mind and spirit).

We have a commitment as a couple to never make major decisions when we are down, because those CHOICES, made during low places, always prove to be poor.

That one commitment has helped us also write many amazing chapters with great CHOICES because we were SELF-CONTROLLED.

Here’s the thing, as we have mentored and coached hundreds of people towards forward momentum, most often we see either deep pain from a past CHOICE or a fear of a future CHOICE.

God has given humanity FREE CHOICE which is to be celebrated, but this gift can get so misaligned if we do not parallel it with SELF-CONTROL.

The truth is we love FREE CHOICE, but we don’t love CONTROL, especially SELF-CONTROL it means we have to choose between what we can or should do, and what we can’t or shouldn’t do.

What can or should you CONTROL?

Boundaries, beliefs and values
Goals and momentum
The way you adapt or handle challenges
What you give your energy to or take energy from
How you speak to yourself and others
Your attitudes, thoughts, responses and actions

What can or should you NOT CONTROL?

Options or emotions of others
How people respond or react or what motives them
If people like or dislike you
The outcome of your effort
The future, past, weather or what happens around you
How others take care of themselves

So the realignment of our CHOICES must begin with our SELF-CONTROL.

It has been said “If you learn self-control, you can master anything.” We are not sure about the “anything”, but the practice of SELF-CONTROL does lay the perfect foundation for making GREAT CHOICES, ones that align with your life values.

Solomon, the wise king, once wrote:“Like a city whose walls are broken is a person who lacks self-control.”

If your life seems to be crumbling in a few places, like a broken wall, there is one way to realign your LIFE . . . be SELF-CONTROLLED in your mind, body and spirit. Then you will be able to LIVE LIFE and ENJOY GOOD DAYS.

The 9 ALIGN tool is a full circle of how the fruit of Spirit reALIGNS every area of your LIFE!

How to reALIGN your POWER with GENTLENESS

By Dan & Suzie Potter

If we say “POWER” what comes to your mind?

Political Power?
Power you’ve experienced at your work, church or school?
Power to do good or evil?
Super Powers you wish you had?
Power structure or struggles in your family?

As we talk to young people it seems their view of “POWER” is the thing they wish their authorities had less of and they had a bit more of. When we talk to older people “Power” is what they used to have back in another day. When we talk the “Powerful” often they feel weighted down by all the responsibilities. When we talk to those with very little “Power” they speak of how someone else should do something to bring equality to all.

Power is very confusing.

We have been in places where we had great power over thousands, and we have been in places where we were powerless to barely get out of bed.

Jesus saw POWER as no one before him ever imagined it. Through his words, actions, and sacrifices, he turned Power on its head. He shifted POWER from great privilege to great responsibility. The kingdom he created was about love, serving and forgiveness. He spoke of Power with these words in Matthew 5:38-39

“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.”

In this life you may not always be free to do less than is being demanded of you, but you are always free to do more.

Jesus reframed our view of POWER to such an extent that we now expect our leaders to serve the common good.

The key to misaligned POWER is GENTLENESS.

Gandhi once said “In a gentle way you can shake the world.
Paul in Philippians 4:5 challenges us to “Let your GENTLENESS be evident to all . . .”.
Anne Frank wrote while in hiding “In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit."

“Be GENTLE” is always the POWERFUL choice, even if many power holders today miss that point completely and if even seems like the opposite. GENTLENESS is POWER wrapped nicely in self-control.

GENTLENESS is part of the 9 ALIGN Series. We can help you to create your own ALIGNMENT tool kit. It will cover your relationships, thoughts, emotions, time, significance, values, connectedness, power and choices. Just imagine having the right tool at the right time.

How to reALIGN your CONNECTEDNESS with FAITHFULNESS
By Dan & Suzie Potter

When we were kids, it seemed like every health issue was cured by taking vitamin C. As we got older we learned that one can never have too much vitamin C, but we will suffer greatly of we have too little.

In life our “Vitamins C” is CONNECTIONS. It is the cure-all mentally, physically and spiritually.

Yet we live in a world, both pre and post COVID, where we have isolated many important connections. We are surrounded by disconnected relationships, disconnected goals, disconnected beliefs and disconnected priorities. People are leaving work, education, church and each other like never before.

A disconnected life is like trying to put together a puzzle with missing pieces, WE MUST LIVE CONNECTED.

What we need is “Vitamin F”. FAITHFULNESS is today’s cure.

One of the fruit of the Spirit is FAITHFULNESS because it holds our connections together. FAITHFULNESS is what a couple commits to on their wedding day. Best friends on the school playground pledge FAITHFULNESS with a “Pinky Promise”. When we join a job, university, church or health club there is this FAITHFUL intention.

But something happens inside, outside or beside . . . that causes us to set aside FAITHFULNESS and we slide into DISCONNECTION.

Here are the 2 FAITHFULNESS secrets from Proverbs 3:3-4

“Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
1. bind them around your neck,
2. write them on the tablet of your heart.

Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.”

If you want to realign your CONNECTIONS, you have to:

“Bind them . . . neck” - place FAITHFUL reminders around you, so you can remain connected, even on really tough days. The reminders turn your head and take you from “feels” back into the “facts”.
“Write them . . . heart” - Commit! At weddings we say “I do!”, at work, on a team, for a party, or with a secret we say yes not only for the good moment, but also through the hard. So deep in our heart, where we deeply feel we write “You can trust me because I will be FAITHFUL to you!”

FAITHFULNESS to ourself or to others is one of life’s hard things. But that choice is the one thing that can cause everyone to remain CONNECTED.

So begin by finding one disconnection and work towards you being FAITHFUL . . . neck and heart!

FAITHFULNESS is part of the 9 ALIGN Series. We can help you to create your own ALIGNMENT tool kit. It will cover your relationships, thoughts, emotions, time, significance, values, connectedness, power and choices. Just imagine having the right tool at the right time.

How to reALIGN your VALUES with GOODNESS
By Dan & Suzie Potter

What do you VALUE?

There are people, places, and things, beliefs, behaviors, and belongings, time, memories, and dreams that you VALUE . . . actually you VALUE far more than you think you do.

VALUES change like gas prices and they remain the same like the date of your birth.

VALUES guide us like road signs on an unknown journey
VALUES remind and refocus us
VALUES help us do the hard things
VALUES give us the boldness to say yes, no and go
VALUES make us choose
VALUES need to be realigned as we grow

When we moved from Georgia to the Seattle area, the one thing that stood out more than all the repeating questions was our VALUE for family. It was stronger than a house we loved, the weather we loved, the people we were locally connected to, and the many treasures and collected junk we loved but had to release. Our VALUE of family realigned our VALUE of location.

We live in a world where VALUES are confusing. Some people challenge your VALUES. Grief and loss shake your VALUES. And faith questions cause you to deconstruct or reconstruct your VALUES.

So what realigns your VALUES?

GOOD!

Doing GOOD. Acting out of GOODNESS always realigns your true VALUES, for GOOD is more than just “not bad”. Good is excellent, virtuous, honorable, beneficial, and “towb”. “Towb” is the Hebrew word used when God said all he created was good . . . it means beautiful.

Everyday you make choices not simply between right & wrong, but between the GOOD you will do and the GOOD you will not do.

Right & wrong is a judgement of a VALUE, where GOOD is a high VALUE that when acted upon, realigns other VALUES.

When you are faced with VALUES out of alignment, remember the words from Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s handiwork, created (“towb”) in Christ Jesus TO DO GOOD (beautiful) WORKS, which God prepared us in advance for us to do.”

So when the VALUE questions come, step fearlessly into what is GOOD! For that is right!

GOODNESS is part of the 9 ALIGN Series. We can help you to create your own ALIGNMENT tool kit. It will cover your relationships, thoughts, emotions, time, significance, values, connectedness, power and choices. Just imagine having the right tool at the right time.

How to reALIGN your SIGNIFICANCE with KINDNESS
By Dan & Suzie Potter

“DO I MATTER?”

This is the question most people continually seek to answer throughout their lives. One’s “mattering” defines one’s sense of significance.

Who am I?
What can I do?
How do I know I am enough?
Where do I belong?
When am I needed?
Why am I here?

These questions must be answered, but too often we seek our “SIGNIFICANCE” answers solely from the clear approval of others. Their response to us, their remembering us, their “LIKE” button of our existence often sets our life relevance.

But what if significance comes from another place? What if our “mattering” comes from the inside instead of outside of us?

In the 9 Align Tool, the fifth tool is KINDNESS. We believe that this tool can and will directly effect your sense of SIGNIFICANCE.

Recently, a dear friend was in a hard financial situation. They needed a miracle and we became their miracle. We were able to give them more than what they needed. Yes that was KIND, but it was something more. It was a “mattering”.

Our purpose of life is to love one God, all people and ourselves. When we act in KINDNESS towards others, something good and essential happens inside. We experience “mattering”. It is a SIGNIFICANCE that does not depend upon others, it is produced by acting upon our belief that others are valuable and thus we are KIND!

Proverbs 11:17 says it so well: “Those who are KIND benefit themselves . . . “

Research clearly shows:

KINDNESS increases oxytocin and serotonin in your body which aids in improving overall health, including self esteem, optimism, energy, happiness and lifespan.
KINDNESS decreases pain, stress, anxiety and depression.

We are not saying that people's options don’t matter, they do! But our significance can not depend on the intentional or unintentional response (or lack of response) of others.

About 2 miles from my house several homeless people spend their day. They are cold, hungry and thirsty. What if today we drove there with a few coats we no longer use, a tray of sandwiches and same hot chocolate? The cost might be $5 and an hour or 2 of our time. We think we would leave those special people a bit happier and healthier and we would know:

“WE DO MATTER!”

TIME is fascinating!

Every person who has ever lived has been given the gift of time . . . 24 hours everyday, 168 hours per week and 8760 hours a year. When it comes to time all people are equal. At the same time every person is limited by time. We live between a time to be born and a time to die. Everyone’s clock is ticking.

Time is the continued sequence of existence that occurs in an irreversible succession from past, through the present, into the future.

Laws change, relationships change, governments change, beliefs change, education continually changes as does the weather . . . times change, but the measurement of TIME ALWAYS REMAINS THE SAME.

So it is up to us to change WITH time or be changed BY time. Time allows us to choose better and grow wiser. But how?

PATIENCE

Patience is a healthy tension that can create beauty, meaning, dignity, awe and community. Patience is like a hammock, a place to find rest in the midst of time. Impatience on the other hand is a chosen curse in which you always feel pushed or pulled uncontrollably by time.

If impatience is being short-tempered, then patience is being long-tempered.

When we are out of sink with TIME we experience:

Too Busy & Too Tired
Procrastination & Regret
Hurry & Hustle
FOMO & FOBO

Patience is a choice, but time is not a choice. In good times patience invites us to be at peace, for this too shall pass. In hard times patience guides us back to peace, for this too shall pass.

Patience is a friend who invites you to accept what you can’t change, to adjust your expectations and surround your life with margins, so you can breathe . . . come what may.

Proverbs 14:29 reminds us that “whoever is patient has great understanding”.

Patience is part of the 9 ALIGN Series. We can help you to create your own ALIGNMENT tool kit. It will cover your relationships, thoughts, emotions, time, significance, values, connectedness, power and choices. Just imagine having the right tool at the right time.

Each week you can read about it in our blog or listen to our Just Live Podcast. Both are being created to help you put LIVING back into your LIFE.

How to ReALIGN your EMOTIONS with PEACE (9 ALIGN tool - Part 3)

How many emotions can you name?

Perhaps the BIG 6: Happy, Sad, Disgust, Anger, Fear and Surprise. Recent studies say there are more than 27 distinct emotions and some believe we can experience up to 34 thousand emotions, but hopefully not all at once.

Emotions are not good or bad, they are just indicators created by God to be felt. But they were not created as places where we should get stuck. Emotions open our imagination towards what could be or not be. Emotions always invite us to make a choice between fear and desire.

This week Suzie was helping Dan get in touch with his emotions. She pulled out an Emotions Wheel. Dan took time to feel Sad, then go deeper into Abandoned, and finally he realized he felt Ignored.

This journey into his real feelings allowed him to discover how and who the Ignoring was connected too.

For Dan taking the time to feel, led him into a time of deep Peace. Because he pinpointed the ache and asked what is true? He identified one as ignoring him, but many as embracing him.

Peace is priceless. It is the tool every LIFE ALIGNMENT Tool Kit must have.

Peace in the Old Testament is “Shalom”, it means safe, well and happy. In the New Testament the greek word used for Peace is "Eirene" which speaks more of health, wholeness and quietness. Peace in its various forms appears 249 times in God’s book.

Now think about the chaos that is often created by our emotions. What can happen when you reach for Peace? It invites you into safety and wholeness, it whispers that "it is going to be alright."Jesus said: “Peace I leave with you: my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled - do not be afraid.”This is in John 14:27 just after Jesus told the disciples he was leaving them.

Sometimes life leaves us feeling afraid and troubled . . . that is always the right time to reach for the soul kind of peace the Jesus gives, it is true peace that sets us free.

So how do we reach for Peace? We remember that Jesus left us peace, so we need to look for it, recapture it and know . . . it is well.

Peace is part of the 9 ALIGN Series. We will coach you to create your own ALIGNMENT tool kit. It will cover your relationships, thoughts, emotions, time, significance, values, connectedness, power and choices.

What grows your FREEDOM?

We have never met a person in the 78 countries we have worked, that has ever said, "I don't want to be free!"

But the truth is we have met very few who actually live FREE, truly FREE.

Freedom is something God desires for you, but like a seed, freedom has to be planted, nurtured and grow. LIVING FREE has to do with the story you tell yourself. That story comes directly from what you SEE, BE, and WE.

This week Dan & Suzie invite you to take the last step in the LIFE CYCLE, so you can have a FREE LIFE.

In this episode Dan & Suzie Potter . . . DUZIE, ask the question "What grows your FREEDOM"

What does your CONNECTED LIFE look like? Are you focusing your time and attention on creating your LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM?

You were created for COMMUNITY and your best life starts with people! The truth is it takes intentional time to create your community? Here's the thing, COMMUNITY essentially is "Common Unity". To build your "WE", your people, you will need to grab those who can pour their lives into you, reach out to those you can pour your life into and surround yourself with those who you can journey alongside.

This week Dan & Suzie invite you to take the next step in the LIFE CYCLE, so you can "WE LIFE". Honestly, today it is easier to find common disunity, but that does not build LIFE. This podcast was created to enable you to LIVE A CONNECTED LIFE.

In this episode Dan & Suzie Potter . . . DUZIE, ask the question "What does your CONNECTED LIFE look like?"

"To BE or NOT to BE" is the opening line from Hamlet, act 3, scene 1 by William Shakespeare.
It is also the question we must ask ourselves often if we desire to live fully alive.

You were created by God to BE, and your BEING matters. No one else can take your place upon your stage. One of the greatest studies you can do is the study of you.

Who are you?
Where do you fit?

This episode asks and helps you answer these most important questions about your identity. We again will look at life through the LIFE CYCLE, how you must move from SEE it to BE it. "NOT to BE" is really out of the question because you and your world needs you to show up and JUST LIVE.

This week Dan & Suzie invite you to take the next step in the LIFE CYCLE, so you can BE LIFE. Your LIFE, right now, stepping boldly from behind the certain and onto your stage.

In this episode Dan & Suzie Potter . . . DUZIE, ask the question "To BE or NOT to BE?"

Some say Seeing is Believing, while others say Believing is Seeing. The truth is, like the chicken and the egg it is hard to say which came first. But in the LIFE CYCLE we choose to first open our eyes, and see the Life we were created to LIVE! This hatches our God given ability to imagine LIFE and believe.

This week Dan & Suzie begin to walk with you, step by step, through the LIFE CYCLE, so you can SEE LIFE. Your LIFE, right now, freely moving outside the egg shell.

Don't be a chicken . . . you were create to Just Live (and fly).

In this episode Dan & Suzie Potter ask the question "What does it look like to JUST LIVE?"

Life, all life, begins with a choice. The word LIFE has many different meanings. When Jesus talked about life he meant living with quality, vitality, and blessed by God. It is the kind of life you were created to live. The truth is Jesus came to earth, so that you would LIVE FULLY ALIVE, so we invite you to choice to . . . Just Live!
In this episode Dan & Suzie Potter ask the question "What does it mean to JUST LIVE?"
