Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s spirit dwells in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16

This verse has been vital in my faith-walk and relationship to my body.

If we are called to live and love like Jesus that relates to our temples (body) as well all the various areas of life we are called to be like Christ.

It’s okay to indulge and it’s expected of us to fast. Jesus modeled both.

It’s okay to be still in prayer and solitude but it’s necessary to be in passionate pursuit. Jesus demonstrated both.

We can never work our way into Heaven. There’s no formula to reach perfection. We can only surrender to Jesus and take up our cross.

A cross I take up is my self image and identity. These must be rooted in Jesus to be secure. And I don’t think Jesus would want me binging snacks on the couch staying up late at night or walking with shame in poor posture to avoid being noticed. It’s not a virtue to be self-deprecating.

I learned that in my weakness that’s were Jesus is strong and his light gets to shine but for years I took this out of context to think I had to step back and play small. In truth, honoring your body as a temple of God is an act of surrender and stewardship. To not be legalistic about it but to be wise and loving towards the vessel that houses the soul. To be a light means to be visible and available and I learned the hard way that if you don’t honor your temple you aren’t available. We cannot pour from an empty vessel so we must take care of ours and steward a relationship with God to pour out into others lives. Whether you’re a parents, spouse, health practitioner or teacher. You live a life of giving to others in high capacity.

How does your body and mind feel? If the answer is “not so good” “drained” “overworked” then it’s time to realize that self-care isn’t selfish. The type of self-care I want to empower you in is not for focusing on the self but rather honoring the Maker to maintain wellbeing. Because from a place of wellbeing we can show up more joyful, peaceful and present for those that need us.

Do you view your body as a gift or a burden?

Don’t allow negative thoughts to consume you today. There’s a lot of darkness in this world but there is an even greater Light in Jesus. Take a moment to give gratitude for the things you have; breathe, a new day, a roof over your head, clothes on your back, food in your pantry, friendships and family, creative outlets, your favorite coffee shop… even the little things can inspire joy out of us. Let life be simple. Take captive your negative thoughts and replace them with what this verse tells us to do…

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

This post caused my husband and I to open up a deeper conversation. He made a point about how *this post* is great for the beginner or one who is restarting but there a point in the wellness journey where you gotta “lock in” as he phrased it.

I totally agree. There are seasons for flexibility and there are seasons of pursuit.

What I’m sharing in these slides is an encouragement to get you back on track or on the first steps of your wellness journey.

This is a gentle approach to getting momentum to then LOCK IN and pursue full force the goals and lifestyle you hope to live.

I’m learning that if I don’t include my son in what I want to do now, I probably never will. So in order to create the future I want this is my starting point.

Do you want to join me on this journey?

I sometimes miss my massage office but one thing I love about my new work flow is that I get to spend the drive time to my client’s house as a time to prepare mentally and do eyes-open mediations.

I often play music that aligns with the weather/vibe for the day or play worship music and pray. While driving and sitting with the music of choice I like to take lyrics and ponder them further, ask myself questions, ask God questions, allow a thought to process fully and then be silent to let it marinate. A 20-30min drive that COULD cause me to feel stressed out by traffic instead becomes a time I treasure as “me-time”.

Self care doesn’t have to be time consuming or set apart. It can be moments woven into the things you already do throughout the day.

Challenge: next time your driving practice eyes-open mediation —
1. Pick a playlist you love
2. Mediate on the lyrics
3. Let the mind wander on the subject/ avoid thoughts like todo lists, meetings, conversations.
4. Stay focused on driving safe and not let other drivers trigger anger in you.
5. When road-rage or stress start to creep in speak gratitude: “im thankful for this vehicle, I’ll get to where I need to go, I’m not in a rush, I’m thankful for this beautiful day, I’m grateful.”
6. If someone else on the road does trigger you I challenge you to say a prayer for them instead of cuss them out in your head. 🫢😉

If these slides speak to you then I encourage you to meditate on these verses:

“The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.”
‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3‬:‭25‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭34‬:‭19‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Do these movements to combat “mom shoulders”

The flow:
• side body stretch 5x each side
• cactus arms 5-10x
• arm pulses 5-10x
• side body stretch 5x each side
• clasp hands behind back, chest opener
• in chest opener rainbow chin 10x
• stretch neck ear to shoulder x5 each side
• look over shoulder L & R x5 each side
• chin ups x5 each side
• front neck stretch, press hands onto chest and look up then tuck chin to chest repeat 10x
• chin up — rainbow chin again 5-10x

Do this daily to see real results! I find it easiest to do a flow like this while on the floor playing with my son or at night when watching a show.

If you have a life partner let this be your reminder to invite eachother into your wellness practices. Take care of one another and find ways to be well together.

Do the “spa night at home” thing! Invite your partner to stretch with you while you watch the show. Massage each other’s shoulders during the movie you’ve already watched 1000x. Go to the gym together and end in the sauna for a chat. Do the after dinner walk each day and let conversations flow.

Any time my husband and I have done things like this we feel so much better in our bodies and are more connected and present with each other. We fall short of these activities and when we do we can notice the change in how we feel; aches and pains, tiredness, overwhelm. But when we have prioritized intentional time together and chosen to do things that benefit our health it brings us closer together while tending to each other’s needs.

That’s the heart and intention behind the Better Together Couples Bodywork Workshop. It was created out of a need for my body to be cared for in PP and so I (an LMT) designed a couples massage and stretching routine that gently massages and stretches the body to feel limber, warm and connected. My husband and I have done this routine many times and we always feel so refreshed and in tune with each other.

“The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭7‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

When we take on this standard we grow stronger, more capable and more loving. I pray that God draw my husband and I to be yielded to this standard through conviction. Though we fall short we want to keep trying to be better every day. Praise God for this grace.

I hope the same for you and your life partner and hope that you’ll join us on September 9th.
