We've all heard the saying, "Good Vibes" right? Well there truly is something to be said about focusing on the positive and not giving into doubt, discouragement and becoming disillusioned on our health journey.  As Paul writes, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things and the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:8 ~Dr. Melody P.S.

Relationships can be a tricky subject, but we've gotta go there. The health and quality of our relationship literally spills into and effects every area of our life. God wants His relationship with you to be #1. From there, it's our responsibility to cultivate good ones. Your health literally depends on it. ~Dr. Melody P.S. Join our 6-week Slim Down Challenge!

Often we think of our weakness as a detriment to our character, or some flaw that God didn't fix in us. But the opposite is true. In our weakness, He is made stronger, IF we ask for help and let Him in. Be encouraged today, Sister. You are not alone and your weakness is not a flaw; it's an opportunity for God's strength to win out. ~Dr. Melody P.S. Grab your 7 Day Detox here: healthychristianwomen.com/detox P.P.S.

Worry. One of the largest occupiers of our mental space. And it seeps into our physical health as well. Causes pain, stress, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and ultimately comes from a place of distrusting God. Fear and worry are not of God. You were created to break free and rise above them. And you can, in Jesus' name. ~Dr. Melody P.S. Snag those two final spots for our Australia retreat here: riseretreats.com.au P.P.S.

'Life' is always going to happen, right? It's not if the setback comes, it's when. Our reaction and response is what matters. Do we throw in the towel and binge all night (or all next week) or do we turn to God for help, guidance and direction and keep food in its proper place? Every setback is an opportunity for growth. Get up. God's not done with you yet. ~Dr. Melody P.S. Learn more about the 12-week BeautifulYOU™ program here: bit.ly/BEAUTIFULYOU P.P.S. Grab you 7 Day Detox here: healthychristianwomen.com/detox
