#140 Creating a Healthy Lifestyle Mini-Series, Episode 4: The Power of Hydration for Weight Loss

This is our fourth episode of the Creating a Healthy Lifestyle miniseries. In today’s episode, we dive deep into how proper hydration can aid in weight loss and overall health. I have practical tips to help you establish healthy hydration habits that boost your metabolism, aid digestion, and support fat loss.
So, today, I am discussing:
How much water to drink daily: Aim for 8-10 cups or half your body weight in ounces.
Drinking water first thing in the morning: Why this habit helps jumpstart metabolism and flush out toxins.
The benefits of drinking water 30 minutes before meals: How this can help control appetite, improve digestion, and increase satiety.
Water's role in fat loss: How water helps break down stored fat, improves metabolism, and reduces water retention.

Use this meditation each morning or as needed throughout the day to connect within and find your inner peace. This is a great tool for stress management.

#139 Moving in Faith Series, Episode 3: Money Mindset Reset

Today we continue the moving in faith series. Once again, God is taking me in a bit if an unexpected direction with this and he as asked me to talk about money. Specifically, I am led to talk about how part of walking in faith and spiritual growth will require healing on many levels and as odd as it may seem, money is a huge part of this. So, I want to re-cap what these tests or journeys in faith serve, which is:
1, is the growth and evolution of your soul,
2, to bring you closer to or in alignment with the life you are destined for,
3, refinement, and
4, to lead you back to the truth of who you are.
 
So what does money have to do with all this? Well, as I mentioned in the first episode, all the different seasons of faith I’ve experienced in the past decade of my life three life areas in particular were significantly impacted, one of which is finances, but also relationships, and my sense of self-worth and relationship to self.

#138 Creating a Healthy Lifestyle Series, Number 3: Exercise

This is the third episode in the Creating a Healthy Lifestyle miniseries. Today is all about exercise, specifically essentials of a comprehensive exercise routine. In the previous two episodes I covered mindset and nutrition, so go check those out if you missed them (episodes 134 and 136).
As a quick refresher there are 3 primary components to weight loss or body transformation mindset, nutrition, and exercise. It is 100% mindset, 80% food, and 20% exercise. For whatever reason, it seems like many people’s perceptions are that it is 90% exercise 10% food and mindset is hardly mentioned or thought of.

#137 Moving in Faith Series Episode 2: Be Prepare for the Road Ahead

As I thought about what to dive into this week, I was led to focus on what one must be aware of when they set out on a leap of faith of spiritual growth journey.
One thing I have learned, looking back on many of my walks by faith and not sight is that all of these seasons serve a couple purposes: 1, is the growth and evolution of your  soul, 2, to bring you closer to or in alignment with the life you are destined for, 3, refinement, and 4, to lead you back to the truth of who you are.
Today I am focusing on the second item, how a leap of faith or season of growing in your spirit serves to bring you into alignment with the life you desire or are destined for. Because, when you choose this path, it is going to involve stripping away of some or all of the things you currently may think are really important. This can include relationships, homes, jobs, other material items, money, even who you think you are, your ego.

#136 Creating a Healthy Lifestyle: Fueling your Body

Last week I kicked the series off with Mindset Matters Most, so check out Episode 134 if you missed that.

So, I am organizing the content of this mini-series in that order, following the level of importance of each component.

#135 Moving in Faith: Taking the Leap

Today is the first episode of the series, Moving in Faith: Taking the Leap. As I discussed in Episode 133, last week, this is the first phase, makes sense right, there has to be something that starts your movement in faith.
We often hear it referred to as a leap of faith, right. However, sometimes it’s not a leap, but more of a push, maybe a gentle nudge. So, I have some examples of what this looks like, since it isn’t always as obvious and the “call” can come in many forms. Sometimes it won’t even look like or feel like a leap of faith at first. Other times it is so obvious you can’t miss it.

#134 Starting a Healthy Lifestyle: Mindset Matters Most

This is the first of a bit of a miniseries, to give you all the things you need to start and sustain a healthy lifestyle. This is a follow-up to some of my past episodes, in which I’ve laid out tips or steps for getting started with a healthy lifestyle. It involves 3 key things to not just start but sustain a healthy lifestyle: mindset, nutrition, and exercise, and they are in that order on purpose. I am starting this off with mindset, because it is the most important component.
If you are ready to end what I call the start-stop cycle of insanity with weight loss, dieting, exercise, then this miniseries is what you need. You can also grab a copy of my e-book, Fit Phoenix 6-Week Slim Down, which goes in depth on all of this and provides everything you need to start a healthy lifestyle. Grab it here, or through the link in my bio.

#133 Moving in Faith (first in series)

Today I am kicking off a series called Moving in Faith. I think it is going to be something of a course in some respects and is really going to help a lot of people. I have been on fire about this all day. I am giving all glory to the Most High, God, right here from the get go as without Him I don’t know where I would be and I am just the vessel through which He is moving and speaking in this series.
I literally just started receiving this in the past week or so, and, today the spirit is moving through me so strongly. However, I now understand that this ministry if you will began about ten years ago. It is becoming crystal clear to me that God has been developing this ministry through all that I have been through in the past 10 years, and even through my whole life in some aspects of it.
