Change Your Thoughts

lies you believe with the truth

and transform your recovery.

“We demolish arguments

and every pretention that

sets itself up against the

knowledge of God, and we

take captive every thought to

make it obedient to Christ” (2

Cor. 10:5).

Learn to Deal with Emotions

Acquire insights to help you

change your perspective on

emotions and get tips for

healthy ways to express

them.

When it comes to emotions,

it's better out than in.

See Yourself through God’s Eyes

Inside and Out

Learn to change your self-

talk and see the amazing,

beautiful person God created

you to be.

“See, I have engraved you

on the palms of my hands;

your walls are ever before

me” (Isa. 49:16).

Address Your Relationship with Food

Obtain valuable tips to help

you balance your food intake

and say no to food-related

behaviors.

Invite God to your table.

Imagine him with you. Let his

presence strengthen and

comfort you.

Invite God’s Power into

Your Recovery

Become equipped with

principles to help you trust

God to lead your recovery,

and experience his power.

It's in human weakness that

you can experience divine

strength.

Practice Journaling

Receive a huge variety of

journaling questions and

exercises to use as tools in

your recovery.

Let your journal be your guts

on paper; let it all out.

Let Go of Control

Obtain principles and tips to

help you change your

perspective about control

and start releasing it into

God's hands.

God keeps his promises.

There's no one better to lead

your journey.

Let Go of Fear

Gain insights to face and

conquer your fears with

divine help.

Fear can be stubborn, but

you can be stubborn, too, by

leaving fear with the Lord

time after time if that's what it

takes.

Experience Inner Healing

Receive Scriptures you can

turn to and principles you

can embrace to help you

heal on the inside.

"The Lord is close to the

brokenhearted and saves

those who are crushed in

spirit” (Ps. 34:19).

Practice Forgiveness

Gain valuable principles to

help you forgive and heal

from the effects of others’

offenses.

When you forgive, you can

break free of the person's

control over you.

Let Go of Perfectionism

Find out how to let go of

what drives you to

perfectionism and change

your mindset about your

expectations of yourself.

Underneath, you are still you

regardless of what you do or

don't do. Your performance

doesn't define your identity.

That's God's job.

Let Go of Guilt

Learn to discern between

true and false guilt and

receive principles to help you

break free of the bondage of

all guilt.

If you genuinely look at

God's love, grace, and

mercy, you'll see that his

forgiveness has nothing to

do with whether you feel

worthy. It has everything to

do with who he is.

Let Go of Shame

Take in principles to help you

let go of shame once and for

all.

You didn't choose to have an

eating disorder. You're trying

to recover. That's nothing to

be ashamed of.

Deal with Relapses

Learn to put relapses behind

you and work toward

preventing future relapses.

Use a relapse as a stepping

stone to a stronger you.

Have Perseverance

Gain strength and

encouragement to stay on

track in your recovery.

Even baby steps add up to a

journey.
