Develop Your Potential

Develop Your Potential

by Joyce Meyer - posted August 08, 2012 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might. —Ecclesiastes 9:10 Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language defines potential as “existing in possibility, not in act.” Potential cannot manifest without form. Like concrete it must have something to be poured into, something to give it shape and make it useful. To develop potential properly you must have a plan and pray over that plan, you must have a purpose, and you must be doing something. Many people are unhappy because they aren’t doing anything to develop their potential. In fact, many of them never develop their potential because they don’t do anything except complain that they’re not doing anything! If you want to see your potential developed to its fullness, don’t wait until everything is perfect. Do something now. Start laying your hand to whatever is in front of you. You cannot start at the finish line. You must start at the beginning like everybody else. From the book Ending Your Day Right by Joyce Meyer. Copyright © 2004 by Joyce Meyer. Published by FaithWords.

Lavender bath for sore muscles

Here is my go to remedy for sore muscles or if you just need to relax. Draw a hot bath and add 1 1/2 cups Epsom salts, 1 tsp lavender essential oil and some fresh dried lavender if you have it on hand. Then just grab a book, a glass of wine (or preferred beverage)light some candles and enjoy your bath. Ahhhh.....

Juicing

So, we bought a juicer about a month ago. Let me tell you, I LOVE juicing! I juice as often as possible. I mainly juice fruits for pre workout meals or post workout pick me ups.I've tried making detox juices with veggies and had a really hard time getting them down. One of things I love about juicing is that I re-use the fruit pulp as facial masks or I throw it in a pot of water on top of the stove to simmer and make my home smell fabulous! If you're not juicing, I highly recommend it. We bought the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer Express. It's easy to use, easy to clean and quiet. What are some of your favorite juicing recipes?

My favorite Pre or Post Workout Juice 6 fresh strawberries - tops cut off 1 orange - peeled 1 carrot 2 small or 1 large Granny Smith apple cored Handful fresh blueberries Handful fresh green grapes Handful fresh baby spinach 1 scoop vanilla protein powder ice cubes Juice all fruit. I use a glass and do this in increments. When the glass gets too full, I pour the juice into my Protein powder shaker then continue juicing in the glass. When all fruit is juiced and poured into shaker, I add the protein powder on top and two ice cubes. Shake and enjoy. I found that if I put protein powder in shaker first and juice on top of powder that the powder has a harder time dissolving. Enjoy!
