The Truth About Your Health Journey

How many times have you told yourself, This time will be different?

You start strong—motivated, determined, ready to do all the right things.
πŸ’ͺ You commit to the workouts.
πŸ₯— You clean up your diet.
πŸ“… You create a routine.

But then… life happens.

⏳ You get busy.
πŸ€’ Kids get sick.
πŸ• Takeout feels easier than meal prepping.

And suddenly, that little voice creeps in:

❌ See? You did it again. You’ll never be consistent.
❌ You always fall off track.
❌ Maybe this just isn’t for you.

Sister, that voice is a lie.

You are not failing. You do not lack willpower or discipline. You are not stuck.

The real problem? You’ve just been handed the wrong strategy.

Or maybe you have been showing up. Maybe you’re following a plan and making progress. But something still feels off. You’re checking all the boxes, yet you feel like there’s more—like something deeper is missing.

Here’s what I need you to know:

πŸ’‘ Your health isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual.

When we try to compartmentalize our fitness and keep it separate from our faith, we miss the fullness of what God wants to do in us.

The 3 Biggest Mistakes Christian Women Make in Their Health Journey

If you’ve struggled with consistency or felt like something was missing, chances are you’re making one (or all!) of these common mistakes.

But don’t worry—by the end of this post, you’ll know exactly what to do instead.

Mistake #1: Treating Health Like a Problem to Solve Instead of a Lifestyle to Build

Most women approach health like it’s a checklist:
➑ Lose weight.
➑ Tone up.
➑ Eat clean.

And if something feels “off,” the first instinct is to jump into extreme solutions:
🚫 Overhauling their entire diet overnight
🚫 Working out every day after months of inactivity
🚫 Going all in for a few weeks… only to burn out and start over

πŸ’‘ But here’s the problem with that: Health isn’t a short-term project—it’s a long-term rhythm.

What to do instead:
βœ… Start with 1-2 small habits instead of changing everything at once
βœ… Focus on progress, not perfection
βœ… View health as a lifestyle that supports your calling, not just a way to "fix" your body

πŸ“– Your health is not a finish line—it’s a foundation.

Mistake #2: Relying on Willpower or Motivation Instead of Rhythms and Routines

If you’ve ever thought, I just need to be more disciplined or I need to try harder, I need you to hear me—

Willpower will always fade.

Eventually, life will get overwhelming. You’ll get exhausted. And when that happens, your motivation? Gone.

This is where most people give up—because they’re relying on the wrong thing to keep them consistent.

What to do instead:
βœ… Create automatic habits—things you do without having to think about it (like drinking water when you wake up or prepping simple meals ahead of time).
βœ… Make decisions in advance—so you’re not relying on motivation in the moment.
βœ… Focus on rhythms, not rules—habits that fit into your real life, not just ideal conditions.

πŸ“– When health becomes a rhythm, it stops feeling like a struggle.

Mistake #3: Separating Your Health from Your Calling

Most women see health as something separate from their faith.

But here’s the truth:

πŸ’‘ Your health is directly connected to your purpose.

When you feel strong and energized, you show up differently:
πŸ™Œ You pour into your family with joy.
πŸ“… You serve your community with energy.
πŸ™ You say yes to God’s calling on your life without hesitation.

But when you’re constantly exhausted, uncomfortable in your body, or caught in unhealthy cycles, it becomes a distraction from what God is calling you to do.

What to do instead:
βœ… See health as a tool that equips you to serve, lead, and live fully.
βœ… Choose habits that energize you, not drain you.
βœ… Invite God into your fitness journey.

πŸ“– When you stop separating your health from your faith, everything changes.

The Shift That Changed Everything for Me

For years, I made every single one of these mistakes.

I thought health was something I had to conquer. If I just tried hard enough—if I had enough discipline, enough motivation, enough grit—I’d finally “get it together.”

But every time I messed up, I spiraled.
😞 I felt guilty.
😞 I felt like I had to “make up” for bad choices.
😞 I felt like I’d never be consistent.

But then—God showed me the truth.

It was never about trying harder.

What changed? I stopped striving and started surrendering.

🚫 I stopped treating my body like a project.
🚫 I stopped obsessing over food and workouts.
🚫 I stopped believing the lie that I had to do it all perfectly.

And instead—

βœ… I focused on small, grace-filled rhythms.
βœ… I saw my workouts as worship instead of punishment.
βœ… I partnered with God in my health—and that changed everything.

Now? I’m more consistent than I’ve ever been. Not because I have more discipline, but because I have a system that works in every season.
