Ep 17: Grow Your Own Garden!
Are you feeling worn down and burned out? It’s time to spend some time watering your garden! We’re made for love, and that includes ourselves. Often, we are taught that as women we’re somehow unworthy of being happy with ourselves. We need to learn to appreciate, honour and love ourselves. This engenders more and deeper relationship within the family.
In this episode we cover how to tend and water the garden of our mind, body, and spirit. We give practical advice and real-life examples to help you to start flourishing in all of these areas!
In This Episode We Discuss:
How habitual time spent in the word informs consciousness/zeal for more conversation, time spent connected, and hunger for wisdom.
How to build a habit.
How to stop negative self-talk.
The importance of social media breaks.
The importance of sleep and good nutrition.
How looking your best can help you feel your best.
The importance of tending to the intimate aspect of your marriage.

DECLARATIONS
God, today I choose to allow Your life to flourish in completely new ways within my mind, body and spirit. I open to positive change and brand new perceptions and mindsets regarding myself, my family and anyone else I come into contact with or think about . I am excited to receive More revelation about what You’re capable of for me. I anticipate great things! I am important and full of purpose and destiny wherever I’m to be today. Nothing escapes Your sight and Your currency is wildly different than that of this world.
I accept Your strategies and personal coaching! I am fearfully and wonderfully made and I extend all of my gratitude to You today for my body. Help me to see myself the way You do and to honour, nourish and appreciate the miracle that is me today! My potential is astonishing. Please show me how to surprise myself with my abilities today and give me the impetus to go further and try hard things.
Because You’re with me, Jesus, I can do anything I put my mind to. Please flood my mind with inspiration, my body with energy and might, and my spirit with ravenous hunger for You and Your voice. I crave Your wisdom, Your presence and Your friendship above everything else. I lay down any of the idols I’ve been carting around that only serve to weigh me down and make me sad. I reject them utterly and ask that You fill the space that they’ve been occupying.
It’s a fact that I bring You joy, Jesus. I choose to feel the way You feel about me about myself too. I reject the lie that honouring and loving myself is selfish and wrong. Give me deep wells of love, patience and heavenly perspective for myself that I then extend lavishly onto and into my family and all of those I come into contact with. I want to be a conduit of Your love, so I open up to and receive it right now!
I speak authentic identity over myself! I choose to enjoy the way I present to others and will make choices that I’m comfortable with and make me feel secure, confident, and utterly me. I refuse to be bossed around by lies about my face and/or my body. I can have fun with the way I look and I refuse to feel bad about it. You enjoy the fact that I can experiment with clothing/makeup/hair etc and can take pleasure in my appearance. I can and will model comfort in the vessel that You’ve given me. It’s enjoyable to build my strength and my health without self hatred or condemnation. I love myself. Thank You for making me me.
I love Your strategies for building my energy, endurance, stamina and passion. I choose today to show up for my own life and appreciate the incredible choreography that is obviously You, every minute of every hour of every day. I will speak the Word out loud over myself with power and authority and believe that It is alive and working within me. I set myself up for success because I submit to Your plans and purposes and will stay completely connected to You in our own special way without guilt, condemnation or fear because I belong to You.
I believe today that You love me. You approve of me. You planned for, designed, built and placed me carefully and strategically here on planet earth for such a time as this. I want to make the most of my time here, and all I have to do is attach myself to You; trust You, listen to You and model Your behaviour, Jesus. Thank You for the gift that is me.
