BB –  We are talking today about … “The Truth About Indecisiveness”…

So JT What does that title bring up to your mind?

  1. Bob – POINT: As we’ll see the truth about indecisiveness is that it will hurt you in the long run so it’s best to move forward on your decision making…

 

James 1:5–8 (ESV) — 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

 

  1. JT ------ OK THEN LET’S TALK SOME MORE ABOUT THAT as we bring up… WHAT’S NEW –  as we open Bob’s recent blog from bobbrubaker.com …

  1. JTQuestion ONE - FROM THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF LIFE….

 

Let’s say I’m in need of making a decision but I keep putting off the decision making process because I don’t want to make the wrong decision so I just procrastinate. What is your counsel in helping me make a good decision?

 

  1. Bob & JT discuss

2 Timothy 1:7 (ESV) — 7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV 1900) — 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

James 1:5–8 (ESV) — 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

“THE LIST”

James 3:17 (ESV) — 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.

  1. JT – Question Two… “FROM THE MENTAL ASPECT”

 

How can we mentally guard against indecisiveness?

 

  1. Bob & JT discuss

 

James 1:5–8 (ESV) — 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

  • DECISION FATIGUE

Proverbs 13:4 (ESV) — 4 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.

Proverbs 20:4 (ESV) — 4 The sluggard does not plow in the autumn; he will seek at harvest and have nothing.

 

  1. (JT) Third Question …. From the physical side of life…

How can a person be patient and persevere when trying to lose weight?

  1. Bob and JT discuss…

 

Burnout is characterized by:

  • Stalling:
  • Obsessing over the weather and route:
  • Dreading your workout:
  • Feeling a constant urge to quit:
  • Giving up early:

Briefly, the 10 warning signs described in that article are:

  • Diminished acute performance
  • Stalled training progress
  • Erratic waking heart rate
  • Low heart rate variability
  • Emotional volatility
  • Diminished sex drive
  • High perceived exertion relative to actual power or pace
  • Lethargy
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Prone to illness and/or injury

The ways to overcome training burnout are very similar to the ways you prevent it in the first place.

  • Understand your ‘Why’:
  • Make sure your goals are meaningful and within your control:.
  • Incorporate “play days”:.
  • Learn to love rest.
  • Incorporate variety:

Bob’s final comment – It takes discipline ….

 

Point: DISCIPLINE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE --- in all aspects of life
