Breaking Free from Lie-Locked Living with Truth Mindset™

Have you ever felt trapped in your own mind — stuck in fear, insecurity, shame, or doubt?

...especially around holidays?

You try to pray, serve, and trust God, but inside you keep hearing:

• “I am not enough.”

• “This will never change.”

• “God is disappointed in me.”

Sister, this is what I call Lie-Locked Living — when false beliefs chain your heart and mind, even as you long for freedom.

But here’s the hope:

“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV)

We can take our thoughts captive by the Spirit and submit them to God’s truth — unlocking the freedom Jesus died to give us.

...Giving thanks to Him for that sacrifice.

💔 The Lie: “I cannot control my thoughts — this is just who I am.”

This lie keeps countless Christian women bound.

But God says:

Staying physically fit matters to me. I make time for fitness even when my life is very busy. The Thanksgiving holiday is a busy time, but I still have plenty of hours in the day.

I get things done because they are important to my life. The things I do each day have value and meaning to me. Staying fit is one of those things that I value highly.

To stay fit, I make time for exercise. I avoid changing my routine during the holidays. I can enjoy the holiday season and still keep my workout routine. In doing so, I ensure my continued fitness and good health. I make sensible choices during the holidays. I stop and take time for myself when things start to get hectic.

Because I see the value of exercise, I make it a part of my schedule. I encourage others because I want them to succeed in their fitness goals.

By working with others to help them meet their fitness goals, I feel fulfilled. Seeing me fit and healthy makes others want to work toward their own fitness goals. I en...

Stop shying away from experimenting when shopping for fun presents. Social occasions like Thanksgiving are not an ordinary affair. The yearly get-together brings the family hanging hats under one roof. Maybe they are all there for a fancy dinner. But, delighting the host is just as crucial.

Your host might be simmering in stress. After all, organizing a party keeps one on their toes, keeping tabs on several things simultaneously. Popping in with a fun and happy gift could set the mood to be cheery.

Best gift ideas to stand out

1.   A contemporary close-packed cheeseboard -Everyone admires a swanky cheese board. Choose a board that’s chic and relatively new in design. Try getting your hands on the foldable swivel cheese boards.

Thanksgiving is more than breaking bread with your family and friends. Are you new to hosting the yearly feast? Not too positive concerning your hosting skills? Well, you are not the only one. Hosting a Thanksgiving dinner is challenging for the inexperienced. Arranging a glorious celebration is pretty challenging. Have you brushed up on your skills cooking the classics yet? Are you anxious about taking the reigns as this year’s hostess?

I am on the same page. The list of to-dos can keep your head spinning. Guess what? No one says you have to do it alone. Using the assistance and a few extra hands might be worth it. Do not tie yourself up with a long list of chores. Although you are the hostess, you ought to have the merriment of the holidays too. If you are busy juggling a zillion chores and stressing over the nitty-gritty, the spirit of cozy thanksgiving dinner is lost.

Don’t you want to greet and help your guests relax and enjoy the holiday with ease? Performing the role of a stel...

Disruptions are giant time thieves in your life. Have you ever considered how many hours are stolen from your days by other people or situations barging into your schedule?

Tips to help you better manage disruptions:

1. Make time during every aspect of your day for the interruptions that we all experience.

You will never have a single day not disrupted by something unexpected. This is usually what throws women off course. It breaks your concentration, making it harder for you to get the flow back.

If you are at work and a coworker pops in for “just a minute,” you will observe that it repeatedly takes a lot of time. Before you know, an hour passes, and you cannot get time back.

You want to give time for these interruptions by looking at your day and figuring out how much time to devote to disturbances. For instance, if someone walks in your department, you can tell them, “I’m working on a project. I can only spare ten minutes.”

At the end of ten minutes, if they...

Have you been toiling hard to stay in good health all year? Kissing goodbye to your potbelly could be trickier with the holidays and celebrations right around the corner. Isn’t it hard to abstain from the delicious big fat meals?

The finest of foods are at the front and center of the elaborate Thanksgiving dinners. Can you miss the mammoth meal, though? A thanksgiving grandeur is certainly amiss without a luscious feast on the table. With the gravy, stuffing, rich cranberry sauce, an array of sides, and ample other foods, overeating and stretching your appetite is hard to resist.

Overindulging in the delicious snacks and flavorsome dishes is quickly done. Aftermath? You are filled to your gills and feel like a blob. Isn’t it pointless to pine after you have stuffed your face with way too much food? Must you bid farewell to the luscious holiday feasts then?

No! Little did you know that there are intelligent, healthy hacks to welcome the holiday season without fretting about ...

Sometimes I would like to defy change. I find comfort in my routines. Things move smoothly, and I quickly anticipate the usual obstacles. However, when I look outside, I see a world in constant flux. I am reminded that the world is always changing and adapting.

These cycles of change encourage me to change and adapt as well.

Spring brings change. Life is green, growing, and abundant. Opportunities abound. I seek spring forms in my life: new challenges to overcome and build upon, the ability to create new relationships, and methods of improving my life.

During summer and fall, I reap the benefits of spring's new occurrences. I revel in the warmth of achievement.

Winter is cold but necessary. In my life, winter is a period of rest and forethought. I wisely use this time to relax, and I look forward to planting new seeds in the spring.

Even my day is cyclical, like the seasons. When I wake, I see new beginnings, like the budding leaves on a tree. The stresses of the da...

The holiday season brings beauty, tradition, and the hope of joyful gatherings… but it can also bring pressure, fatigue, and unmet expectations—especially for Christian women who feel the weight of making the season “just right” for everyone else.

As a Christian Life Coach, I have walked alongside many women through this sacred season, helping them release stress, renew focus, and embrace the holidays with peace and purpose.

Here is how Christian life coaching can help you prepare for the holidays—not just with your to-do list, but with your heart aligned to truth.

1. Refocus Your Heart on What Matters Most

The holidays can pull your attention in many directions—shopping lists, social commitments, family dynamics. A Christian Life Coach helps you recenter your focus on the real meaning of the season: celebrating the birth of Christ.

Women must make good choices for many reasons, including having a greater sense of self, increasing confidence, and learning from experiences. But, becoming a better decision-maker involves taking risks and knowing that not every decision will be the best one.

Making mistakes is not necessarily a negative thing. It gives you more confidence in your ability to make decisions in the future based on those experiences. But, examining choices helps women make well-rounded decisions and grow as decision-makers.

Make Better Choices

A successful way to embark on a self-improvement journey is to make better choices. Women sometimes make choices without realizing they are making decisions that will impact their lives for the long run.

Maybe you have a weak record of decisions when trying to take care of yourself, but that does not mean it cannot change in 2020. Begin by applying both emotion and logic when you make choices.

No matter what it is you would like to do, look ...
