Welcome back, Fit Family, to Part 3 of our Holy Health Habits series on the Move Your Body Differently podcast! In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into how to truly enjoy your wellness journey while building strong spiritual and physical health habits. If you missed the first two episodes, I’ve linked them below—be sure to check them out to get the full picture of what we’re talking about today.
In this episode, we talk about:
Spiritual Disciplines and Health Habits: We explore how spiritual disciplines lay the foundation for your health habits. Learn why these practices are essential and how they help you create lasting changes in your health.
Identity-Based Goals vs. Outcome-Based Goals: We chat about the difference between striving for identity-based goals rooted in Christ versus chasing after outcomes like weight loss. This shift can make all the difference in how you approach your wellness journey.
Learning to Enjoy the Journey: Using examples like the Israelites' journey in Exodus, we discuss the importance of enjoying the process of becoming healthier. It’s not just about reaching your goals but about knowing God and trusting Him throughout the journey.
Mindset Shifts for Positive Health Experiences: We touch on why focusing on what you’re gaining in your health journey (rather than what you’re losing) can reshape your experience. Learn how to create positive associations with your workouts and healthy eating habits to make your journey more enjoyable.
Practical Steps to Implement Health Habits: Each episode in this series gives you actionable steps to integrate spiritual disciplines and health habits into your daily life, helping you grow in both faith and fitness.
Your Challenge::
Vision Casting for Your Health Journey: Reflect on who God is calling you to be—both now and in the future. Create a vision for your health and wellness, and let that vision guide you as you build these holy health habits.
Mindset and Spiritual Warfare: We also discuss how the enemy might try to distract you by focusing on what you're losing in your health journey. By keeping your identity in Christ front and center, you can combat these negative thoughts and stay focused on what you’re gaining.
