Speaker 1: What? Doctor Z? Hey, hey, family, welcome back to another
episode of Living Boldly with Doctor Z, the space where
we grow in faith, power, purpose, and yes and health too.
Today we're talking about something that's found out, foundational, but
often neglected. Your body. That's right, the bold body bone.
I know you guys know about it. And we're talking
about why taking care of your health is like your
future depends on it because guess what it does. Your
health is your wealth and it's very important to take
care of yourself. If you don't take care of your
body and your temple, then where where you're so be
able to go and reside while you're here on earth.
You know, it just won't have a place to go.
You know, they haven't created that technology yet. So you
can't just abandoned and neglect your body like that. You
got to take care of it. So let's shift the
mindset first. We talk a lot about living boldly and
walking in our calling on Living Bowlly with Doctor Z
and we also talk about chasing after your purpose. But
you can't fully run after your calling if you're constantly
running on empty, you know. And your body is the
vessel that God gave you, and if you're called to
go the distance, you gotta treat it like a temple,
not a trash can. I'm telling you. You gotta eat good,
gotta get that rest, gotta drink some water. You know.
We gotta go to the doctor, get checked out, get
that blood work done. You gotta have exercise routine. You
gotta be on a healthy day. Oh my god, the
list is so long, but you gotta do it. It's
a mustard, especially if you got a call and then
you need to be here for a while, you know. Now.
In First Corinthians six, chapter nineteenth through twenty verse It says,
do you not know that your bodies are temples of
the Holy Spirit? Therefore, honor God with your bodies. Ooh,
this is about perfection, This is about stewardship, and taking
care of your health is a spiritual act. Okay, So
let's get real. Have you ever felt like you're tired
all the time? You're foggy, unfocused and sluggish? What about
you want to do more but your body ugh, just
can't keep bump you know. M hmm. Let me lovingly
say this to you. It's time to stop putting your
health on the back burner. And you've got too much
purpose inside of you to be stuck in a body
that's barely functioning. So let's start focusing on taking care
of ourselves, you know, and going to the doctor and
getting checked out and exercising and eating healthy and stay
away from those bad things, those bad habits like smoking
and drinking and too much sweets and all that. We
gotta break some of these habits, drinking too much sweet
drinks and eating too many candies and too much chips
and snacks and stuff. We gotta get away from these things,
you know, that's what's holding us back and preventing us
from filling our you know, one hundred percent, you know,
and I know a lot of people can't feel one
hundred percent because they're very sick. But you know, even
if you're sick and you're on medications and it's been
a struggle for you, and it's something that's generational that's
been passed down through DNA, you have the opportunity to
take care of yourself and start working on it. So
you know, do what you can do to mitigate the
issues and the current health conditions that you have. Okay,
now I have five Bowld body habits for you guys today. Now,
these are simple things I do to stay aline, energized
and ready to walk in my purpose. You know. The
first thing is hydrate with intention. Oh my god, water
is life. I have my water with me right now, guys.
It fuels your brain, It gives you energy and your
organs and everything. I mean, a large percentage of our
body is made of water. So we must intake and
hydrate with intention. Number two, we gotta move daily. You know,
it doesn't have to be intense. It could be a
stretch walk. You can do some dancing, you know, you can.
You don't have to even go to the gym or
do body do weightlifting or anything like that. You can
just use your body weight to exercise and stretch and
move around. There's so many exercises out there on YouTube
that it doesn't even cost you a thing. You don't
even have to get a gym membership, and you can
just do it a couple of minutes today. So you know,
just move that bold body of yours. Bow. We gotta
get them moving. Number three, you gotta rest without guilt. Oof,
that's that could be a problem for some of us.
Rest is not laziness, okay, and it's divine alignment. And
I've said that before in other episodes, but even God rested.
And you know, but once we gotta rest, we gotta
take care of ourselves. We gotta take the time out.
You can't just overwork yourself all the time. And we're
not robots. We're human beings, you know, and we need risks,
we need vacations. We need to take off some time
and relax and you know, just not do anything and
take care of ourselves. Okay. Number four, eat to nourish,
not to know who. You gotta watch out with all
that eating. You know, food is fuel, but you have
to start asking will this feed my purpose or my pain?
And you know, sometimes we're overdo it with the eating
and we're getting too full and eating too much. So
it's like whenever they are offering you an abundance of food,
like on a buffet, or say you're on a trip
and there's just like a smortgage board a food, or
you're at home and you're cooking for the holidays, Hey,
you might want to cut back and not do too much.
Just eat enough to satisfy your appetite, but don't eat overeat,
you know, don't eat too much to where you're like
so full you can barely breathe and you're passing out,
you know. I mean, yeah, I know when you get
the idees, you go to sleep and you pass out
and some people are drooling, and then you're like you say, hey, hey,
they're just knocked out. But that's okay. But I'm just
saying that, just be careful with your intake and just
do it for nourishment and fuel for your body to
keep going. But don't eat numb and overfill to where
you just can't even breathe and you can barely walk.
Take care of yourself, don't overdo it. Number five, You're
gonna check in with your body and your spirit. Now,
this is one of my favorites because meditation and prayer
and breathing can reconnect you to God and yourself. And
that's something that we've talked about in another one of
our podcasts, the Empowerment Blueprint cal podcasts, and we've had
some special gas and this is one of the things
that I especially gos, love to talk about and they
specialize in, so you can also go over there and
listen to that. But I'm advocating this because I know meditation,
oh my god, it's my best friend. And prayer, oh
my god, it's my best, best, best best friend because
it's from God and it, oh my god, it's amazing.
And the breathing techniques, oh my god. You have to
try them. Guys. If you don't know much about the
breathing techniques, please do your research on those. And like
I always say, do your research, do your research because
there's some great breathing techniques out there that can help
you and it'll help you check in with your body
and your spirit and get a line and balanced. Okay,
all right, bod ones Bow all right, Now, why does
this matter? It matters because when you take care of
your body, you show up stronger for your family, You
think clearer, you feel more confident, and most importantly, you're
able to go the distance with your calling. Oh yeah,
that is so important. Now, don't just plan for success,
train for it, you know. So these are things that
we have to do to stay alne and be on
track for our calling and to maintain and to continue
on that path and the journey that God has laid
out for us. So that business, that ministry, that dream,
it needs a healthy you. And without that, ooh, we're
not going to be able to make that happen. So
please take care of yourself. And I'm gonna give a
general reminder that taking care of your health is not
a punishment. Okay, it's not a trend. You should always
be doing this. It's not about comparing yourself to anyone else.
There's no competition at all. It's about loving yourself enough
to protect your future for you and your family. And
it's a radical act of self love, which is very important.
You have to love yourself before you can love anyone else.
And it's an act of obedience when you remember that
your body is a gift from God. God blessed you
with that body. Boo. We already know now before I go,
I got a bull prayer for the body. Well moment,
Let's pray God, thank you for this body. Thank you
for every breath, every heartbeat, every limb that allows us
to move in your purpose. Forgive us for neglecting our health.
Today we commit to honoring you through how we care
for ourselves. Gives give us the strength. God, give us discipline,
God and peace as we walk in wellness. In Jesus' name,
I pray Amen. Now, I want to go ahead and
say that you are strong, you are worthy, and you
are capable of living in a body that supports the
bold life God has called for you. You know God has
called you too, you know, so let's live it out,
you know, one healthy choice at a time. And if
you can do that, and remember that your health is
your wealth, and take care of yourself and make sure
that you're taking care of your body. And you know,
God will appreciate you for it. Everyone will, your family, God,
I'll love you for it even more. He'll bless you
even more. And you can see a difference. So with
that being said, Uh, let's live it out, one healthy
choice at a time. Okay. I love y'all and keep
living boldly bonas, body, mind, and spirit. Yes, yes, until
next time. This is doctor Z signing off for ones
