Mindset
Matters:
When fasting, the battle is in the mind. When we fast,
we are changing habits, routines, and our own
limiting beliefs. Adjusting your mindset to make it
through starts with these 5 keys.
DAILY FAITH

1 Each day you rise out of bed, believe that you


will get through that day with the Power of the
Holy Spirit. Remind yourself about the
greatness of God in you!
SCRIPTURE

2 Each day, take a scripture with you to work,


class, or running errands to keep you from
indulging. Scripture is your weapon.

REMOVING TEMPTATION

3 Choose to skip out of dinner dates, or going to


places that food, for you, may be limited.
Temptation is real, and you can beat it with
wisdom. Use wisdom and take precaution.

A MANTRA

4 Have a little mantra you say to yourself when


temptation gets too much. Things like "my
better self is waiting on me", "my family is
waiting on me", or "my purpose is waiting on
me". Saying reminders to yourself will help you
stay encouraged.
Remember:
PRAYER
Jesus said "The flesh is weak ,
but the Spirit is Willing".
5 This is a HUGE weapon. When you are hungry,
tempted or wanting to give up. pray boldly and
Remember that the Holy ask for help. Step away and just pray, and ask
Spirit inside of you is helping for help. That is when spiritual help comes.
