In this episode of the Choose 2 Think Inspirational Podcast, host Victoria opens up about the transformative power of confession in her Christian journey. Drawing from personal experiences and reflections, Victoria shares candidly about the struggles and challenges she has faced, inviting listeners into a space of vulnerability and authenticity.

One of the most significant ways you can renew your mind and take your thoughts captive is through deeper intimacy with the Father. Gail Root's book, Master Your Morning: Six Steps to Life Transforming Intimacy with Jesus, offers: Practical guidance to awaken to the Kingdom life God has planned for you An opportunity to experience God in ways you never dreamed possible A pathway to help you give up the rush, the worry, the doubt, the fear of the world and instead WAKE UP to God’s love and His plan for your life Gail knows all too well what it's like to live in a state of constantly going, whether it's physically or mentally. At one time, she lived to check off all the "boxes" daily. She was striving in her work life and also in her relationship with the Lord. It wasn't until the Lord spoke very clearly to her one morning and revealed that her life was causing self-induced anxiety; that she needed to stop. This led her to drastically change how she was starting her day. Which in turn, led her to the six-step morning practice that is not only part of her life but she gets to share it with others through her book as well as with her clients. Gail Root is wife, mother to three amazing sons, lifelong entrepreneur, love of travel, adventure, and all things Kingdom! After years leading teams in both direct sales and network marketing, God called Gail to retire, so that she can focus exclusively on coaching His daughter to partner with Him and build on Kingdom values.

"Scott Moore is living proof that great players only get better with time. After 30+ years as a tennis player, he began playing pickleball competitively in 2013 and has since gone on to win the triple crown—not once, not twice, but six times. His aggressive playing style has earned him the fitting nickname “The Beast.” Widely regarded as the No. 1 senior male player in the world, Scott’s success expands beyond his age category. In 2018, he and his son Daniel won the 19+ division at the Northwest Regional tournament in Bend, Oregon, and less than a month later, he and his son Jon won the Italian Open." --Paddletek "Scott has been ranked the #1 Senior male player in the world from 2014-present. He is a 6-time Major Triple Crown Winner and 20 time USAPA National Champion (6 gold medals in 6 events in 2016 and winner of 12 straight events from 2015-2017), 12 time US Open Champion (including 8 straight events) and 12 time TOC champion (including 10 straight events). Scott has taken his success in pickleball, and developed a comprehensive pickleball training program that he teaches all over the Western Hemisphere. He currently resides in Colorado with his wife, Susan. They have 4 adult children." --High Performance Pickleball Join Scott and me today as we discuss two of my favorite topics: pickleball and MINDSET!

In this episode, let's explore the transformative power of a single word: "yet." Focusing on emotional well-being, we'll highlight the significance of intentional thinking using examples from Psalm 38. The key is to introduce "yet" into negative thoughts, reshaping them positively: "I've fallen into the same temptation again; I feel so distant from God." → "Yet, I know Your grace is boundless. I can learn, grow, and find redemption." "My body aches, O Lord, and these health issues are overwhelming." → "Yet, I trust in Your healing power. In weakness, I am held and cherished by You." "O Lord, I thought my fellow believers would understand." → "Yet, I know Your love surrounds me. I can find a supportive community through Your love." Drawing inspiration from biblical figures, we highlight the positive impact of "yet" on our perspective. Benefits of aligning thinking with God's truth include stress reduction, improved mood, cognitive function, physical health, social interactions, optimism, and overall well-being. The episode concludes with a reading of Psalm 38, emphasizing the depth of misery, the grasp at God's mercy, and the ultimate comfort found in God's presence. As always, I continue to encourage you to recognize the power of your thoughts. By adding "yet" to your thinking, you can find joy and peace, even in challenges, promoting mental, emotional, and physical well-being. #liveyourbestthoughtlife CONNECT WITH VICTORIA: NEW BOOK: ⁠⁠⁠*PICKLEBALL PASSION A MARRIAGE DEVOTIONAL: 21 DAYS TO A STRONGER CONNECTION ON AND OFF THE COURT⁠⁠⁠: https://amzn.to/3GTNdtN *⁠⁠CHOOSE 2 THINK DEVOTIONAL:⁠⁠ https://amzn.to/3Hcl7v1 *⁠⁠CHOOSE 2 THINK JOURNAL⁠⁠:  https://amzn.to/3WvinND EMAIL: choose2think@gmail.com ⁠⁠WEBSITE:⁠⁠  www.choose2think.co ⁠⁠MENTORING:⁠⁠ www.choose2think.co/coaching.html ⁠⁠YOUTUBE:⁠⁠ www.youtube.com/channel/UCz8Z2B9TtXvWn0RKelVY5DQ ⁠⁠FACEBOOK:⁠⁠ www.facebook.com/groups/choose2think ⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠: www.instagram.com/victoriadwalkerlydon/ *When you click on these Amazon affiliate links, I may earn a teeny commission from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.

We live our lives based on what we believe about ourselves and what we believe God thinks about us. This all starts with our thoughts and emotions that shape our beliefs. If we aren't aware, our lives can be shaped by lies. Meliza Farndell's passion for helping others untangle from lies comes from her own experience of being completely overwhelmed with lies she had been believing that began as a little 7-year-old girl. At age 7, she accepted Jesus as her savior, and then shortly after, she was molested. That event became a building block for who she would become. It wasn't until many years later when she had an encounter with the Father and his love that everything changed. For the first time in her life, she felt completely loved and accepted. This began the process of healing and getting untangled from all the lies that had shaped her life. Throughout the process, the Lord led her to write the book, Untangled. Tune in today as we chat about overcoming lies, choosing to think, and taking back your emotions! Connect with Meliza: www.melizafarndell.com @melizafarndellauthor (Facebook & Instagram) Her book: Untangled: Break Free From The Lies That Keep You From Your True Identity and Purpose https://amzn.to/3tDwgB5 Meliza is a wife, mum to two awesome teens. She currently lives in the UK and is the author of several books. In addition to writing, she helps others who desire to publish their own book. She also has a passion to see others get untangled from the lies that keep them stuck, and help them discover their true identity and purpose. This is the message found in the pages of one of her books, Untangled.
