Change Your Life In 40 DAYS | Full day on my journey to becoming a HIGHEST version of yourself!

[Music] good morning guys I wanted to bring you with me today for the full day as I'm on this 40-day challenge if you want more details on what this is exactly I have another video explaining that and I will link it here here and I will also link it in the description essentially by the end of the 40 days you will be a higher Holier and healthier version of you so if that sounds like something you want to do again you can check it out in one of these places I start my day by waking up 30 minutes before I would typically set my alarm for and I dedicate that to scripture in prayer I am currently only on day four and I will tell you this has been a challenge because I can really find another time in my day to do this but forcing myself to wake up early and being intentional about spending the first 30 minutes with Jesus in the morning I have already felt a shift in my life from this daily practice when I started this 40-day commitment I started with a prayer and I committed everything on this list to the Lord and I said I'm going to wake up at this set time every day 30 minutes before my alarm goes off and I'm committing my mornings to you I'll be setting my alarm the night before and I'm not hitting snooze and I will tell you that first morning when my alarm went off my immediate thought was dread and like I could you know what just justifying in my head right but immediately this phrase entered my mind I'm waiting for you and boy that got my booty out of bed faster than I think anything ever has and since then I know it's only been 4 days I have not had a problem it's actually crazy because if I just commit something to myself 50% of the time I'm going to show up maybe not even 50% of the time but there is power behind promising something to the Lord that will bring changes like you've never seen in your life try it and watch what happens as far as today goes normally I would be getting my kids up feeding them or taking them to school it's a Saturday and I don't have them so I'm really just going to kind of go down my checklist of things I need to do I think I'm going to go make a protein shake right now and start on my first workout because well I will get into this later because I do have to have a second workout in but I'll explain that later in the video [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you [Music] [Music] as I was having breakfast this thought popped in my mind to share with you and it's just a powerful Insight that I feel like I've recently realized mostly because I journal every day and so because I do that I've just noticed a pattern and what I wrote down was God blesses action so anytime I pray for motivation I rarely feel like a surge of motivation okay for example I wake up early and I need to get my workout in I would say probably 90% of the time when I work out I do not feel like it in fact I'm dreading it I'm even thinking of reasons why I should put it off but what's crazy is I'll pray for motivation I don't feel motivated I do feel strength added to me to like just get going the second I actually start moving the motivation flows like a faucet like it won't shut off and it does that for the rest of the day and that's why I feel like for me personally I love to get workouts and in the morning because if I do that if I just get moving it seems like the whole rest of the day I'm motivated to get things done again that I've been just putting off and putting off and it doesn't always have to be a workout but let's say that you have your first task of the day and again you're just driving it you just don't even want to really start my suggestion is to pray for the strength to start once you start notice the motivation stay with you and it will stay with you the rest of the day but I do believe that it's because God blesses action if we're just sitting there and hoping for motivation and then it never comes and then we're like well he didn't bless me with motivation He blesses action and so you'll see continuous strength added upon you the whole rest of the day so those were some thoughts that I wanted to share with you as I start my [Music] morning all right guys I signed my myself up for something and I don't know what I got myself into something I know for sure none of you knew about me is I used to play competitive soccer this is a million years ago it's been over 20 years I was a teenager last time I played and I remember very well why I quit I got pegged in the face with a ball and I was not prepared you know if you like Flinch it like doesn't hurt as bad your girl wasn't flinching and I got hit hard and I said never again will I play this Sport and that's exactly what I'm about to do so how did I get roped into this Bobby signed up for a tournament with a group of girls and they needed one more person on the team I don't know what happened but they needed one more girl and I made the mistake of saying do you know I used to play soccer she's like what so one thing led to the next and now I am playing in this tournament which by the way is four games back to back I think it's two games and then two games one game is intimidating enough but the fact there's four I'm like I literally cannot not train I am doing at least two days every single day when it comes to running Sprints soccer drills just all the things the crazy thing is when she brought this up there was this feeling of like you need to do it I love myself a girly walk but I hate running however I do love pushing myself and doing things that make me uncomfortable because I know it's making me stronger and so that day that I signed up I looked at the time frame that I had and I think it was only 45 days at the time over the next 45 days this is going to push me to the max like who I have to become to be comfortable enough to play with these girls it's going to be an uncomfortable Journey but I'm excited for the outcome of that with that being said I am meeting Cy right now and we're about to do some [Music] drills it's easier with cleat though can you roll back oh is there a difference do you need to get some different ones no I have I really don't know how to play I'm King it to [Music] you yeah yeah you know how to yes I should have brought cones there's the drill I need pass to you so pass me and then run okay so pass it back to me you want to give it back so ready [Music] right the wet spot he get it you there no I [Music] here the [Music] way wo anyone coming from that house over there Kitt k got but also that's all you but also there's one I think I hit the PO what okay so we played for about 2 hours played two different games one game with her neighbors and then we played another game with a bunch of teenage boys and that was a little bit scarier you know teenage boys are quite aggressive but this is your sign to get out there and do something that's going to challenge you I stopped by Smith so I could just grab some frozen veggies this is my favorite brand of stir fry I really only cook as much as I'm going to eat right now and the chicken that you see in here was added I just picked up some already made chicken so it was ready to go I just added that in there with a little bit of the teriyaki sauce and then of course I have a minute rice I already cooked this and when this is just about finished I'll dump this in and stir around guys I feel like I've been going going going since this morning like I have not had a break to sit for 1 second so I'm going to enjoy this and watch a show and drink my Resa and chill out in my sweats what does this taste like I don't know but this is my favorite cheers it's not tipping YY m- is it all right guys it's actually the next day as I was editing I realized I didn't really talk about fasting and although I was fasting for my specific thing I didn't talk about it so I wanted to end this video going over this topic because this is actually the most important part of the entire challenge ultimately this is where you're going to grow closer to God over the next 40 days when deciding what to fast from I prayed for guidance on this topic what would be difficult for me to say no to for an extended period of time and the answer was immediate sweets even on any health Journey I've been on I've always found a way to incorporate sweets into my diet literally every sing single day of my life I eat some kind of sweet I'm not sure if I've ever really gone more than 2 days without sneaking something I knew this was going to take extra strength for me to do this for 40 days so here's the deal I offer this as a sacrifice to you Lord I want to grow closer to you I know I'm going to be tempted multiple times through the day with this and because of that every time I'm tempted it reminds me what my focus is and that I gave this thing up in order to grow closer to the Lord so that's the whole purpose of this if it's something you're not regularly tempted with then it's really not a sacrifice so I knew for me that was going to be something that would be hard the law of sacrifice is also the law of increase so where you sacrifice something you will also see increase in another area and for me I wanted to feel closer to the Lord I wanted to feel more aligned with him I wanted to just have more guidance in my life that's what I'm really needing right now and I also know that when you sacrifice something you can experience breakthroughs you can overcome things you thought you never could overcome if you do feel in encourage to do this journey at any point in your life if you stumble across this video and you want to do this I would also highly encourage you to at some point within the 40 days to also do a full 24-hour fast obviously if that's something that your body permits but I have seen true miracles happen through 24-hour fast so you're not eating anything and obviously this is with prayer so prayer and fasting now there is a scripture about this Matthew 17:21 it says how be it this kind goeth not not out but by prayer and fasting what this verse is suggesting is that there are some spiritual forces or some things that you just cannot simply overcome except for by the power of fasting and prayer so if there is something that you feel like you have been struggling with your entire life prayer and fasting is one way you can expect to see Miracles so I wanted to leave those thoughts with you thank you guys for watching and being a part of this 40-day journey whether you're doing it with me or not I've been having a lot of fun with the girls in our group we do have an
