Stepping Stones... * Help for the Humps and Hollows of Life
REV. ROBIN WENTWORTH APP I can’t help but notice the increase in pedestrian traffic of late. Usually during the winter I have the roads preUy much to myself while jogging. But over the last week I kept bumping into pairs of walkers on the highways and byways...walkers who appeared to be walking for the sake of walking as opposed to walking for the sake of transportation. Now I don’t claim any powers of clairvoyance, but my deductive reasoning skills are pretty good. And since it’s the first week of January I’d be willing to bet most of you walkers are acting upon New Year’s resolutions that read something like: “lose 15 pounds...exercise at least three times a week...get in shape...tone up...reduce blood pres-sure-lower cholesterol...get into wedding dress for 25th anniversary...get five inches off waistline before class reunion...” Congratulations. You’ve taken an important step (I realize puns and play-on words make most people groan, but I love them!) Three important steps, really ...you’ve set a goal, developed a strategy, and implemented behavior changes. Goals are essential. They provide focus, inspiration, and direction. It is futile to embark on a selfimprovement plan without goals, because with nothing to aim for, you will run .(or walk) around in circles. Your strategy is also crucial. In order for you to arrive at j>our destination, you need a map and plan of how to get there. You wouldn’t set out for the west coast without consulting an atlas and planning a route. The same goes for your personal goals. You won’t reach them without a strategy. Those first two are fairly easily accomplished, aren’t they? It takes a little time to set goals, but it’s not really difficult for most of us. It takes a little more time to develop a strategy. But again, that stage goes fairly smoothly. But behavior changes—that’s the totfghie, isn’t it? That’s the one where the rubber really meets the road. How do you make it happen? Well, I’m going to tell you the secret... You make it happen by behaving in a way that is consistent with your goals whether you feel like it or not. In my opinion, this generation has been sold a bill of goods, largely by the folks in my profession (the counselors, not the ministers.) And that is the idea that one must allow feelitigs to determine behavior, which is not unlike the proverbial tail wagging the dog. When my

parents were young, the saying used to be “let your conscience be your guide.” That seems to have shifted to “let your feelings be your guide.” Now don’t misunderstand me. Emotions are indeed a very important barometer. They are an indispensible clue to what is going on inside of us. That’s why it is downright dangerous to health and welfare to ignore, deny, and suppress them. But it is equally destructive to ignore other significant factors in decision-making and rely soley upon feelings. If you’re going up in an airplane, you don’t just want to -know what the barometric pressure is...you want to know if it’s day or night, if it’s clear or cloudy, if it’s raining, snowing, or sleeting, if it’s hot or cold, if the plane has fueL.etc. I don’t make many promises, but I’ll make you this one: If you make choices based exclusively upon your feelings, you will never succeed at anything. In order to effect improvement in any “walk” of life, you must behave in a manner consistent with your goals whether you feel like it or not. And that holds true in relationships, job performance, eating habits, school functioning, athletic skill, devotional life, AND exercise programs. So to you newly resolved walk/efe..hats off and godspeed. You’ve taken the first step. And this 16-year jogging veteran is here to tell you that there WILL be days you don’t feel like walking. Whether or not you’re still out there next December depends on whether you make your ensuing choices based upon the immediate (ie. your feelings), or the ultimate, (ie. your goals). Anyone wishing to schedule an appointment with Robin App may contact her at Stepping Stones Counseling Service, 773-7449. Copyright 1992
