There aren’t good emotions and bad emotions. Only healthy and unhealthy expressions of them. Emotional health is a component of total health…

Let’s discuss…

Many of our emotional disruptions are normal responses to abnormal events. Though most of us aren’t diagnosable for a mental or emotional health disorder, we will all benefit from “leveling up” our health in these areas.

New season, new project...

Recognize, read, respond... emotional wholeness...

[Andy Jenkins @AndrewEJenkins]

Realistic.

There's a lot do it...

If you've been building up for a long time, trust the process. All the little gains of the past are going to come together.

[Andy Jenkins @AndrewEJenkins]

Where you are isn't who you are...

Where you are isn't where you must remain.

Where you are is where you must begin

[Andy Jenkins @AndrewEJenkins]

Honor the perfect gift of God inside of imperfect people...

[Andy Jenkins @AndrewEJenkins]

It's ok to "not be OK" yet not know when it started not being OK.

Sometimes there's a cumulative effect to it all...

[Andy Jenkins @AndrewEJenkins]

It can be both.

Rather than thinking, "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey..."

Consider, "Maybe I can enjoy the process as I unleash my full potential."

Simple objective today: show people the perfect love of their Heavenly Father

The problem with plans... is that most plans don't work out EXACTLY like you thought.

But, at the same time, only a plan can get you there...

[Andy Jenkins @AndrewEJenkins]

Maybe you find yourself in “liminal space,” that odd space where you haven’t quite left the past season YET you haven’t quite stepped into the next season, either.

You’re in the middle, on the threshold.

Restoration and redemption doesn't always mean "return" to what was...

Sometimes a loss (and hurt) remains.

Re-thinking Job here.

The goal when dealing with emotional stuff isn't to GET a diagnosis NOR is it to AVOID one...

The goal is to move towards health, taking the path (diagnosis or not) that gets you there.

[Andy Jenkins @AndrewEJenkins]

I've though this a LOT about projects around the house, exercise programs, trips and adventures...

Chinese proverb:

When's the best time to plant a tree?

Answer: 50 years ago

When's the SECOND best time to plant?

Answer: today

[Andy Jenkins @AndrewEJenkins]

Don't based your expectations on past experiences...

Raise the level.

[Andy Jenkins @AndrewEJenkins]

Get advice from people in the right lane...

[Andy Jenkins @AndrewEJenkins]

You now have a new identity, because...

[Andy Jenkins @AndrewEJenkins]

Total wholeness involves SO MUCH MORE than just going to the gym...

We're complex.

And we're awesome.

And that requires a LOT of maintenance / upkeep :-)

[Andy Jenkins @AndrewEJenkins]

Solid reminder not to get trapped into over-thinking OR over-discussing...

Do your due diligence and then take action!

[Andy Jenkins @AndrewEJenkins]

Most "sin issues" have to do with people... not just mistakes. So, most of the stuff in the Bible directs us to build bridges...
