How does the Holy Bible impact my training & what I put on my plate:
Want to know what gets me to go the gym? Do you know why I prioritise whole foods, organic produce, sustainably sourced/farmed meats?
It would be cheaper if I just ate processed foods.
It would be easier to stay home & miss today’s training session.
Tap water is free as opposed to using filters or bottled spring water.
Snoozing my alarm is so much more enticing than waking up & meditating each morning.
Here’s a secret: you can still eat processed foods & non-organic produce and still have 6 pack abs - and don’t get me wrong, I still indulge every now and then.
The reason why I choose the path less travelled is simply because it is how I honour my body, my mind, my soul. It is self love.
I understand that I am living within 3 bodies: a physical, astral & spiritual body.
In my 20’s, I only knew my physical self and for that reason, I only ever lived in a physical world with physical objectives.
1 Corinthians 6:19 has changed the way I see health:
“You surely know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit that you received from God and that lives in you”.
Imagine if you invited God to be a guest in your home.
Would you serve him the finest foods with the best ingredients? Would you have your best dinnerware ready on the table? Would your house be tidy, in pristine condition - or would you leave clutter? Knowing that your body is a temple, would you let someone with muddy shoes walk into your temple? Would you let them graffiti and pollute your temple? Or would you be protecting it, knowing that it is a sacred place for worship?
You surely know that your body is a temple?
It may be a by-product, but I don’t eat organic foods and train every day to look ripped. I’m not overly cautious about the music I listen to, what I absorb from television because of conspiracy theories. I’m not conscious about my inner circle and who I associate with because I’m introverted or anti-social. I do these things because I protect the energy within me. I want to look good, feel good, move well, think well and speak well simply because my body is a home for God.
