Our intentions for working out may be to stay fit, lose weight, set the lymphatic system in motion, oxygenate our blood, get those happy hormones flowing, and/or attend to our overall health. All excellent reasons for moving our body. What we don’t plan on is having our workouts BACKFIRE on us, creating weight gain, stress, and discouragement. The truth is that women in their 40’s and beyond should NOT be spending an excessive amount of time on a machine or taking part in overtly strenuous workout regimens.

If you follow after God and believe with all your heart He is your CREATOR, then we must dig deep and ask some crucial questions.  And YES, this has EVERYTHING to do with your physical health. When our spirit and soul are wandering and lost it most certainly impacts our physical bodies. Our SPIRIT and SOUL were meant to be FILLED with HIM. False substitutions lead to unfulfillment and the hamster wheel cycle continues. 

They tell us that a pill or medication is the magic solution. Yet we witness souls in every walk of life still struggling beyond measure despite these drastic measures. I was one of them, and I share from a deeply personal perspective. This topic is multi-layered and no doubt complex, but I have witnessed restoration in both myself and other precious souls. Mental distress, depression and anxiety is unique in different people so in no way am I dismissing the array of these very real and personal experiences. First and foremost, our mind can be a great battleground.

Does your skin look and feel DULL, DRY, ROUGH and TIRED despite your greatest efforts to improve your SKINCARE PRODUCTS and PRACTICES? A few weeks ago I shared some of my FAVORITE holistic skin care products and practices. While WHAT goes on our skin is VITAL and a TRANSFORMATIVE part of the process, we also need to be reminded that HEALTHY SKIN that is GLOWING and RADIANT begins WITHIN. 🌟 What we put INTO our bodies matters just as much, if not MORE in my opinion, as what we put ON our skin.

Here’s the short of it… WHAT goes ON your skin and IN YOUR BODY, day in and day out, is impacting your overall HEALTH. A cream, a pill, an injection seems like a quick and easy solution to what we view as problems. These seemingly harmless choices all too often carry with them long term health implications disguised as ANTI AGING BEAUTY PREVENTATIVES and ENHANCERS.
