Healthy Life Habits And The Truth Mindset: Building Consistency

health Sep 07, 2020

 

When it comes to personal development and health, consistency is key. As Christian women, we aim to honor God with our bodies, minds, and spirits, but building and maintaining healthy habits can be challenging. Whether it is improving our diet, increasing physical activity, or spending more time in prayer and devotion, success lies in our small, daily choices. These choices become habits, and those habits, over time, shape our lives. This blog will explore how the Truth Mindset can help you build consistent healthy habits that honor God and support your overall well-being.

 

Galatians 6:9 - "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."

 

God calls us to perseverance, reminding us that the effort we put into doing what is right and good will yield results in His timing. Developing consistent habits takes patience and dedication, but as this verse reminds us, if we keep at it and do not give up, we will see the fruits of our labor.

health Aug 03, 2020

 

Stress is a natural part of life, but it can also feel overwhelming, especially for Christian women juggling multiple responsibilities. Stress can easily build up, affecting our mental, emotional, and physical health, whether it's managing work, family, or personal expectations.

A Truth Mindset is the key to overcoming stress, as it helps us reframe our thoughts, trust in God’s sovereignty, and experience true peace.

 

Matthew 11:28-30 tells us, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

When You See Health From A Christian Perspective

health Jul 13, 2020

Health touches every aspect of our lives—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. As Christians, our understanding of health is deeply rooted in our relationship with God and the teachings of the Bible. The Bible offers valuable insights into how we should care for our bodies and souls, reminding us that true health encompasses more than just physical well-being; it is about living in harmony with God’s design.

 

Our Bodies as Temples of the Holy Spirit

One of the Bible's most profound teachings on health is the idea that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, the Apostle Paul writes, "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

This passage serves as a profound reminder that our bodies are not our own; they are sacred temples of the Holy Spirit, belonging to Go...

health Jul 06, 2020

 

In today’s world, the health of our relationships is essential to our well-being. Relationships have the power to shape our emotions, thoughts, and lives in profound ways. For Christian women, the Bible provides divine guidance on fostering healthy, Christ-centered relationships built on love, trust, and truth. Our mindset is critical in how we approach and nurture these relationships. When we align our thoughts with biblical truth, we strengthen our bonds and create harmony that glorifies God.

 

Ephesians 4:15"But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ."

 

This scripture reminds us of the importance of truth and love in communication. Speaking the truth should always come from a place of love and care, especially in our relationships. When we let the Truth Mindset guide us, we are able to communicate in ways that honor God and build each other up.

health Jun 29, 2020

A novel coronavirus is a new coronavirus that has not been previously identified.

There are many types of human coronaviruses including some that commonly cause mild upper-respiratory tract illnesses. The virus causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is not the same as the coronaviruses that commonly circulate among humans and cause mild illness, like the common cold.

COVID-19 is a new disease, caused by a novel (or new) coronavirus that has not previously been seen in humans. The name of this disease was selected following the World Health Organization (WHO) best practice for the naming of new human infectious diseases.

 

On February 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced an official name for the disease that is causing the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak, first identified in Wuhan China.

Sleep, can you recall a time in your life when you did not get enough?

 

For many of us, this happens from time to time. We are staying up late to study for finals in school. Or how about those many sleepless nights after welcoming a newborn. Or maybe you suffer from the occasional bout of insomnia.

 

Think back on one of those times. Chances are that those were also times when you were more likely to catch a cold or come down with the flu or a stomach bug.

 
On the flip side, making sure you get plenty of quality sleep can serve as a sort of insurance policy.

 

It strengthens your immune system and helps your body fight off any type of infection or treat that comes it’s way. In addition, your body will be able to heal itself faster should you come down with something if you get plenty of rest. That is why your doctor often orders plenty of rest and fluids when you have a cold.

Do You Understand Blood Sugar Levels?

Many women do not understand hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. The prefix hyper means over or high, and the prefix hypo means under or low. Hyperglycemia is a blood sugar level that is too high, and hypoglycemia is a blood sugar level that is too low.

Some womens' systems cannot either produce and release the correct hormones or respond effectively to them for various reasons. These incapacities cause both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.
