Your most natural body will follow your most natural life.

A short and sweet piece.

Have you ever noticed that when your life force is going on the right things, your face looks different? Your body changes without as much effort? You are energised?

The other day I had a bunch of my mumma friends and their kids over for a picnic in the sunshine. Afterwards, I really wanted to want to have an afternoon matcha or some kind of boost but the truth was, I didn’t need it. More than that, I didn’t want it. The boost came from the soul. The sunshine. The people. There was no concentrated green tea that could do for me what conversation, people, togetherness and sunshine could do. 

Good deeds for pregnant friends. Spending ages sending audios to friends overseas in need of business advice. Playing soccer with my kids for longer than usual even when I am becoming antsy to go inside and do something else. Getting up early to walk with the sunrise even though my sleep is still spotty. Following a new workout split that is more defined and disciplined, rather than taking 20 mins faffing around deciding which workout to do and then getting frustrated when I’m almost out of time for said workout. Sharing words and art even when that voice in my head tells me that it’s all junk and I should just bugger off and hide.

When we focus on getting our life right by God (you know what I mean), then our body will always respond. The spirit is what animates the body.

I want to remind you of this if you are hyper fixating on ingredients and 10,000 steps and all the good life giving habits we know and love… but forgetting about all the things that are not food, that hugely affect your vitality too. 

What needs tending to in your days? Your home? Your relationships? 

I posted these words below the other day, and soon I’ll write an entry about some life giving change ups we’ve made in our home. 

But the short message I wanted to offer today was this. Take it in the poetic context in which it is offered and clarify the rest with God. 

Taste the sweetness of your life sis, and you might not want so many raw treaty treats at 3pm. 

Your appetite regulates when you are focussed on the right things.

You wanna move more when your life force is flowing. 

You’re not reaching for false satiation when you are feasting on the real thing. 

Stay ‘high standard’ with your food, yes. But don’t be flipping over to see the ingredient list of your thrice sprouted almond butter but then scrolling without self control, worshipping life sucking idols, starting a business that isn’t for you and thinking your food is all that is influencing your shape.

Focus more on the life God gave you, the gifts, the people, the work and get right by that... then watch your body change. 

The shape and vitality of your body is not just dependent on avoiding seed oils (although, keep avoiding them), but on making sure your spirit is well too. We worship the body and the food but take our eyes off the One who created it all. 

How can I tend my life force?

How am I being sloppy with my habits and thinking my raw milk will make up for it?

Am I focussing more on health idols than on the all loving, intelligent God who created me and this fine instrument?

How can I tweak my days so that I am living more ALIVE according to what God has put inside my heart and the people inside my home?

Change your life, change your body.
