Toss that Trash


Howdy, Zack here.

I have it. You have it. We all have it.

It's called 'head trash'.

It's that junk that rolls around inside your head. It tells stories of you not being worthy, capable, or good enough. It's evil stuff, and it prevents you from achieving your calling.

I know. I've leaned into it and found myself incredibly stuck at times in my life. I played out that negative narrative and allowed it to control me versus me, shaping the destiny God called me to live out freely.

You can't blame anyone else for your head trash. It's useless anyway.

We all have our stuff. We all have garbage.

Yet none of that really matters.

What matters is what you do next. Will you toss out the trash?

3 STEPS

  • Write It Down
    Go on a walk with a pen and notebook. Jot down all the head trash you have. Bullet it out.
  • Release Yourself From It
    Before you return, pause and pray, and make a conscious decision to mentally let that trash go.
  • Toss It Out
    Ball up the paper and literally toss it in the trash, signifying you've crossed that line.

Just remember:
When you toss your head trash, no longer let it rule your future. Lean into your gifts without fear. 😊

Howdy, Zack here. Stop it. Stop doing the things that aren't working for you. Sound too simple? Well, it's not. It's one of the hardest things to do. Yet, funny enough, once you've done it, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. You know what's not working for you. Ugh, lump in my throat. I have a few that come to mind right now. It might be eating too much, not working out, wasting time on social media, getting caught up in drama, focusing on big world issues (like politics), or pretty...

Howdy, Zack here. I love you. Yes, you. And, that love is not conditional. We all have our faults. I know when I've been at my worst, that I need others' love the most. Unless you've been living under a rock or you've intentionally disconnected (can't blame you), you've seen the effect of deliberate division — the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump. No matter your political beliefs, this sort of hatred has no place in our world. It stems from the polarization of our...

Howdy, Zack here. When will it be time? We often wait for that perfect 'when' — the moment everything falls into place. But what if 'when' is actually right now? As a dad of triplets on the brink of their senior year, time feels more precious than ever. Everything has been one-and-done for us. Before long, my wife, Gwen, and I will be seeing our 3 off to college. Thus, each moment matters more. Can you relate? When certain chapters come to an end, we tend to feel the gravity of our decisions...
