The Battle For Your Mind

Rachel KingLeave a comment

SHOW NOTES: Episode 33

There is a serious spiritual battle raging all around us, each and every day. The enemy is seeking to steal, kill, and destroy. And do you know what he wants most? 

Your mind. 

He knows if he can get inside your mind, he can steal your greatest asset. 

Join Kaitlin Rogers (host of the newly launched podcast The Comeback Couch!) and I for a powerful discussion on the battle for your mind: destroying strongholds, taking thoughts captive, guarding our hearts and minds, and going “through the fire” to help others get to the other side!

Kaitlin Chappell Rogers is a former news reporter and ex-NASA social media specialist who now lives out her lifelong dream of being a writer. She is the host of the newly launched podcast The Comeback Couch and loves sharing raw stories of hope from people of all backgrounds. A recovering perfectionist and survivor of depression, Kaitlin is a bold mental health advocate and champion for women to love the lives they’ve been given and see the abundance in front of them. She does this through speaking events, coaching, and regular writings on Instagram. Kaitlin is the mother of a one-year-old little boy and is expecting another baby boy in June. She and her husband Caleb serve at Church of the Highlands and Kaitlin leads a monthly writing workshop for the women at her local Downtown Rescue Mission. When she’s not writing or speaking, you can find Kaitlin traveling to new places, chugging coffee at a cute brunch spot, or loud-laughing somewhere with her favorite people. Thank you for tuning in! I hope this episode helped you. I’d love to chat more about it on Instagram (@rachelmeigsking)!

In this episode, we cover:

  • Destroying strongholds
  • Taking thoughts captive
  • Winning the battle for your mind

MORE ABOUT FEED YOURSELF: HEALTHY HABITS FOR THE MIND, BODY, & SOUL PODCAST:

Feed Yourself: Healthy Habits for the Mind, Body, & Soul is all about learning the key components of overall health based on Biblical principles. When most people think about getting in shape and becoming “healthy”, they immediately think about their physical health: losing weight, making exercise a priority, possessing flexibility and endurance, and remaining disease free. But Scripture makes it clear that physical wellness is not the only area that impacts health. In order to be TRULY healthy, we have to focus on four areas: spiritual health, emotional health, mental health, and physical health. 

This podcast dives deep into the tools and head knowledge you will need in order to create lasting results, but it also looks at the element that truly ties it all together – the heart knowledge that incorporates faith in God in this area of our lives and how to apply it when things get tough (and they will!).

I wanted to create a space to let you know you are never alone on this journey. Through years of experience in doing everything the WRONG way, I am here to share my journey of getting healthy from the inside out – ditching the restriction and diet culture and truly learning to treat my body as the temple God intended it to be.

How Eating Less is Keeping You From Losing Weight

SHOW NOTES: Episode 32

Have you been “on a diet” for as long as you can remember? Jumping from one diet to another, seeing success for a while and then stalling out? By continuing this diet cycle and eating less and less, you may actually be CAUSING your body to hold onto the unwanted weight. 

It’s time to talk about going on a “reverse diet.”

Reverse dieting is often referred to as the diet after the diet. It is a way to gradually increase calories over a few weeks or months to allow you to eat more food after you’ve been restricting calories or not eating enough. It increases your metabolism and prevents fat gain.

I know what you are thinking — wait, ladies…eat more?! Yes!

When you go through restrictive periods, it is common to see weight loss plateaus. When you decrease your calories and can’t anymore, your body stalls out. When you limit the amount of fuel you are taking in, you experience hormone changes and this is where your body will start to suppress or release hormones. Your body is literally saying “feed me!” This even causes your digestion to slow down to absorb nutrients and calories. Your resting metabolic rate decreases which causes your body to redirect all focused energy on vital organs to keep you alive. This is why you will often see brittle nails and hair loss. Your body is focused on keeping you alive, not thriving. Your energy will also deplete.

The good news is you don’t have to stay there.

If you want to eat more without gaining weight or are someone who has been dieting for a long time and you’re ready to maintain your current level of body fat, then the reverse diet method is right for you.

The hardest part is the mindset. We have been told to restrict and over-exercise and this is simply not how God intended us to be. God created your body to work for you and not against you. Guel your body properly, take care of it, and it will respond. 

If you are in a weight loss plateau and feel like you can’t restrict anymore – book a call and let’s chat more about it. Amanda and I would love to help you learn how you can actually eat more (fueling your body properly) and not rely on a restrictive lifestyle.

Thank you for tuning in! I hope this episode helped you. I’d love to chat more about it on Instagram (@rachelmeigsking)!

Should You Do a Digital Detox?

Should You Do a Digital Detox?

Rachel KingLeave a comment

SHOW NOTES: Episode 31

There are a lot of positive things about social media and being able to connect online. It can be such a great way to keep in touch with loved ones and stay in loop about what’s going on in your area, as well as news around the world. As much as I truly love social media, there is also so much negative energy on it. Negative digital experiences can trigger anxiety and depression and affect self-esteem. 

Doing a digital detox is a great way to find out if technology is holding you back from truly living the life you were designed to live. The results of unplugging can expand to multiple areas, from being more productive at work to deepening your relationships with God, family and friends. 

Here are just some of the benefits of taking some time away from the digital life: 

  1. Sharper focus: During a digital detox, you may find that you are more tuned in to your surroundings. 
  2. Less stress: For some people, too much information can be stressful and overwhelming. 
  3. Better social interactions: When you eliminate digital distractions, it creates more opportunities to pay attention to those around you. 
  4. More control of your time: Taking a break from digital devices or media helps you combat compulsive use. 

There is ZERO judgment here if you’ve let the online space and social media creep in a bit more than you’d like these days. In this digital age we live in, it’s really easy to do.  I can’t wait to hear which version of a digital detox you will do and what steps you will take to improve this area of your health!
