Ingrained in our culture is the belief that unbending discipline is the only sure way to success. We must go to the gym five times a week, never order the dessert, and don't even think about buying that dress in the store window. Breaking from such a regimented lifestyle is a sign of weakness, right? Wrong!--and beloved New York Times-bestselling author Joyce Meyer reveals why.
Eat the Cookie . . . Buy the Shoes celebrates that we’re not built for guilt. Meyer will help believers find the freedom to . . .
- Do something we enjoy and not feel guilty about it
- Celebrate Jesus and what He’s doing in our lives
- Reward ourselves for progress instead of punishing ourselves every time we fail
- Give ourselves permission to lighten up when facing challenges while staying spiritually balanced
Though setting rules is important, it's just as important to break them from time to time. Balance is a core value in life and every once in a while we deserve to indulge in a guilty pleasure or two. So don't feel bad about straying from goals every so often and in fact, says Meyer, embrace it: go ahead--eat that cookie and buy those shoes!
