You know you better than anyone else.
Remember that phrase.
Moreover, I want you to know that you have power.
Divine power that is.
That your health, not just physically, but even your mental health is not at the mercy of a complex healthcare system that is overpriced and more times than none, ineffective.
Furthermore, although you’ve tried in the past to gather your will to protect and better your health, but ultimately lacked consistency and gave in to an overabundance of doubt…
There still is hope.
Clearly, just like everything else in our lives that strive to capture our attention, time, and dollars, thus the healthcare system has followed suit.
It’s a business.
A very lucrative one.
And you must not fall into the trap of having instant gratification when it comes to wellbeing as if your health was a video on your Instagram acquiring likes.
Let’s get rid of the dependency that people have placed on external sources such as the government and the healthcare system.
Additionally, negate the fact that people hang onto doctor’s words and recommendations as if they were Jesus Christ himself talking.
We’ve forgotten the power that naturally resides in all of us.
We have fallen short in remembering that love heals.
And we’ve neglected simple statements such as …
Laughter is the best medicine.
And
Food can be the most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.
Apparently, we let diet, exercise, and stress control be just a quick thought and mention right before we convince ourselves that we do need that medication.
Well, that stops here.
That stops now.
You are your own healthcare system.
And
You are your own healthcare provider.
Besides that, no one knows your body and your mind better than you do.
Your body speaks to you in ways that only you can comprehend and understand.
Therefore, don’t overcomplicate this. This thing we know as healthcare.
You have the power to be the sole proprietor of your health.
And most of all, I know you have the desire to be in control of your health.
Because who wants their health to be at the mercy of someone else?
No one.
Unquestionably, we all want to be in control of our lives, and our health is a major part of that, if not the central part.
I’m going to be reminding you of the basics.
The fundamentals of wellness and informing you about just how impactful these basics are.
Simple but powerful.
Remember what I said, don’t complicate this.
Notably, you can have control over your health, now.
Receive it.
1. Eat Clean Sis
Get it as close to nature as possible.
Make it pure.
Obviously, that means no added chemicals and no processing.
The simpler the food, the more natural the food, the easier it is to digest.
One of the busiest places in the hospital is Endoscopy.
This is where people who are having problems with their stomach get “scoped” or have a tube (with a camera) placed down their throat or up their anus to look inside the intestines.
Trust me, there are more than 60 million people in the US alone that have some form of gastrointestinal disease.
Hence, start affirming yourself now, that you only eat foods that are nutritious for your mind, body, and soul.
You only eat foods that promote health and wellbeing consistently.
In addition, another major aspect of eating clean is drinking enough water.
Water helps the body to perform so many functions.
- Helps carry nutrients and oxygen to the rest of your body, most importantly your brain.
- Helps regulate blood pressure and heart rate.
- Protects your spinal cord and your tissues and organs.
- It aids digestion and helps get rid of waste in your body.
In addition to that, your heart and brain are 75% water. Your lungs are 80% water.
It is absolutely essential that you not only eat clean but drink enough water.
Food was never made for enjoyment but for nutrition, remember that.
2. Sleep Is for Winners
Acknowledge that sleep is essential to your health.
⅓ of Americans do not get enough sleep.
Sacrificing sleep for your goals is a dangerous thing.
And I’m going to tell you why.
While you sleep, your body is repairing and restoring itself.
For example…
- Your heart and your blood vessels are able to come to a state of rest, causing your heart and blood pressure to drop dramatically.
- Your immune system aids in fighting infection, inflammation, and trauma that you’re exposed to constantly throughout your day.
- Your brain is storing and sorting your memories all while your body is repairing your muscles, organs, and your cells.
Sleep deprivation not only kills brain cells but can lead to…
- A higher incidence of cardiovascular disease (#1 killer worldwide).
- A higher chance of getting Diabetes.
- Obesity.
- Impaired memory and judgment.
- Becoming more susceptible to infection.
Additionally, the most interesting relationship between lack of sleep and wellness is the connection to your mental health.
Difficulty sleeping is usually the 1st symptom of depression.
Significantly, there is a clinical link between insomnia and major depression.
In short, get your zzz’s in child of God.
3. Move That Beautiful Body
We all know the benefits of keeping it moving.
In particular, I will tell you this…
Your heart is your health.
You can live without many things, but this bad boy, you can’t do without.
In addition, don’t look past the fact that heart disease is the #1 killer worldwide.
Don’t neglect this.
In reality, regular exercise is the best way to promote and maintain heart health.
Let me share a few of the benefits.
- You will feel freaking amazing because of the release of endorphins.
- Increased blood flow to the brain = faster hair growth & brighter skin.
- Stronger heart & stronger bones.
- Blood pumped more efficiently = lower resting heart rate & lower blood pressure.
Moreover, if you can workout outside, strive to get 30 minutes in the sun every day.
Simply put, the sun gives off Vitamin D.
A lack of Vitamin D has been connected to depression and a large number of physical health ailments too many to count.

4. Create a Mental Masterpiece
Last but not least.
Meditation and Mindfulness.
Everything I’ve mentioned before is important, but this is essential, what you feed your mind and what you focus on.
As Christians, we’re supposed to meditate on the living Word and focus our attention on things that are true, just, honest, and pure.
If we feed our mind the right thing, the health of our mind, body, and spirit will all move in a positive direction.
This is where mindfulness and an increase in awareness takes place.
Clearly, you must understand, just how powerful your mind is when it’s being filled with the right things.
Furthermore, when you attach your thoughts to your emotions, they’re even more powerful.
I’m sure you’ve heard about the mind-body connection.
It’s real.
For instance, just think about the placebo effect.
Where one person takes a medical treatment while the other receives counterfeit treatment, but both still have positive results.
It’s the power of expectation.
The power of your mind.
Evidently, the reason that I added meditation to mindfulness, is because meditation helps you to gain control over your mind, kill your flesh, and live a more peaceful life.
The simple discipline of reading the Word alone presents many immeasurable benefits.

Wrapping Up
Get back to the basics.
Don’t overlook the simple and label them ineffective.
Indeed, getting your 7+ hours of sleep every night, eating a diet that is pure, consistently exercising, and indulging in mindfulness, that’s how wellness is produced.
Thus, true healthcare is Self Care.
Don’t underestimate your power.
Take back your power and take back your dollars most importantly.
Therefore, be your own healthcare provider and live the way you were intended to live.
Start now!
The best health care is self-care. Take back your power.
Until Next Time With Love,
