welcome to the Overflow podcast my name is Craig
Booker the title of this episode is planed out the

0:00:06.480,0:00:12.680
material in this episode is inspired by reset by
Deborah feda I will talk a lot about mental health

0:00:12.680,0:00:18.200
but please note that this is not a substitute for
therapy or mental health care there are typically

0:00:18.200,0:00:25.080
two types of people there are the planner and
there are the under planner both types of people

0:00:25.080,0:00:31.520
have their own set of obstacles regardless of
which Camp you find yourself in we must have

0:00:31.520,0:00:38.160
some sort of plan if we want to make progress in
our lives for those who take the whole planning

0:00:38.160,0:00:48.000
activity too far the Bible offers great wisdom to
get us back on track Proverbs 169 of the NLT says

0:00:48.000,0:00:54.200
we can make our plans but the Lord determines
our steps in other words there has to be some

0:00:54.200,0:01:00.160
sort of balance you you don’t want to under plan
but then again you don’t want to overdo it either

0:01:00.160,0:01:06.680
ultimately it comes down to us doing our part and
trusting God with the rest if you’re looking to

0:01:06.680,0:01:13.160
create lasting healthy habits by exercising then
it could be that you schedule time for rest and

0:01:13.160,0:01:18.840
relaxation to prevent yourself from burnout
if you’re looking to establish healthy eating

0:01:18.840,0:01:23.880
habits then it could involve finding healthy
recipes cleaning out all the unhealthy Foods

0:01:23.880,0:01:29.200
in your pantry and and going grocery shopping if
you’re listening to this there is a good chance

0:01:29.200,0:01:35.760
that changes something you desire in one area of
your life the important thing to have before you

0:01:35.760,0:01:41.800
begin is a plan what will this change look like
how will you get from here to where you want to

0:01:41.800,0:01:48.560
go how will you become the person you long to
be it won’t just happen without intentionality

0:01:48.560,0:01:54.560
and that includes making a plan if you remember
in the past few episodes we spoke of the stages

0:01:54.560,0:02:00.960
of change there is precontemplation then there
was contemplation third third we have making the

0:02:00.960,0:02:06.880
decision to change and fourth we have preparation
no matter what you’re trying to change if you

0:02:06.880,0:02:12.760
don’t spend adequate time in preparation
you will fail you don’t lose that extra

0:02:12.760,0:02:18.360
weight without preparation you won’t improve your
marriage without preparation you don’t climb that

0:02:18.360,0:02:24.560
mountain without preparation you won’t improve
your sleep habits without preparation you don’t

0:02:24.560,0:02:31.480
run a marathon without preparation W this is
probably one of the more important stages this

0:02:31.480,0:02:38.640
is typically a stage people Rush past in eager
expectation of their new life you won’t change

0:02:38.640,0:02:46.520
your behavior if you skip past preparation science
knows it and scripture confirms it too Matthew

0:02:46.520,0:02:57.520
24:44 of the ESV says be ready 1 Peter 3:15 of
the ESV says always be prepared 2 Timothy 4:

0:02:57.520,0:03:03.640
2 of the ESV says be ready in season and out
of season maybe it’s time to find a trainer

0:03:03.640,0:03:11.120
purchase some gym equipment hire a counselor or
go see your doctor or call a close friend verse

0:03:11.120,0:03:19.880
for reflection Proverbs 24: 27 of the ESV says
prepare your work outside get everything ready for

0:03:19.880,0:03:27.280
yourself in the field and after that build your
house that’s all for this episode if you like the
