Balanced immune system wins! Balanced mindset wins! 😊

How to not let what is happening effect you physically or spiritually.

Fear – doubt – social distancing – viruses – anxiety – all can take you out of balance!  😨

I understand what you are going through since we are all in this together.

Yet, how we respond will be determined by what is happening in our gut and heart! ❤️

Today I thought it was beneficial to revisit this topic because it is key to  our health physically and spiritually.

3 tips to protecting your immune system: physical  ~  3 tips to protecting your mental wellness: spiritual

Just as we are physical we are spiritual. You have heard me say that repeatedly in all our courses. Because it is true. 🍎

With everything happening today around the world we can still be confident that He who began a good work in you will complete it.

3 tips for physical strength today and the days to come.

1. FEED the Gut – I cannot say it often enough, the gut is the beginning and end of all diseases!  A healthy and happy gut is one that fights for you! 😊

It builds an army of bacteria and then nourishes the army till it is your best shield of defense.  Remember over 70% of the immune system is in the gut.

With my coaching clients we start here first (after beliefs).

I hope you are following the Facebook videos on Friday to catch the latest on foods in the grocery store that build a healthy gut.  In fact, today's video was 12 foods that feed happiness!

Food for a healthy gut will always follow the Three Principles. If these principles are new to you – catch up here.

Also here is one of my favorite recipes using lentils – a gut healing food!

2. FAKE foods kill – yes, foods such as sugar, and artificial, lab experiments – are foods that kill the gut bacteria - your defense. 

This allows for invaders – even viruses to enter your body unannounced.  No doorbell – no welcome mat – just a fast forward invasion.

Invasions lead to autoimmune system problems – either short term or chronic.  Very ugly scene.  Avoid at all times.  There is never a day to celebrate with fake foods!

3. FAST for greater health. – fasting allows the digestive system to catch up and rebuild. Fasting overnight was God’s design.  Fasting 3 meals a week will strengthen the immune system for greater  durability.  Follow all fasting with high fiber and quality protein.

3 Tips for Spiritual Strength today and days to come 📖

1. FOCUS on 1 Bible verse and mediate on it.  Let the verse be the focus not a position of your body. Let the verse bring you to an awareness of GOD in your life – not on you. 

Here are two verses that are my favorite: 1 John 4:4

Philippians 4:19

2. FEEL the sun – yes – go outside for a 10 minute walk – rain, snow, wind or sun – nothing wakes up your senses as a walk in the fresh air.  Yes, even pollen filled air.

3. FRIENDS – hand write a note of gratitude to a friend. I know when I receive a handwritten note in the mail it represents time that person thought of me which is more belabored than a quick text or email.

Plus I can cherish the note card in my card basket to look back on when days are a little gloomy.
