Hey, sis!! So - let us know!! What would your 6th Holy Girl *Healthy* Habit be?! for me-- prioritize mental health!! Our minds are a vital part of our temple ♥
My prayer time in the morning, reformer Pilates, eating slower, stillness, embracing silence, yoga Arianna Elizabeth black Christian yoga instructor on here - also do you have a Spotify playlist- I would like to hear some new music
Healthy tip #6 Lean on God when your “motivation” isn’t enough! Some days I don’t have enough energy to show up for myself so I show up for God instead since He always is there for me.
1. Accepting that God cares “deeply” about how we treat our bodies. 2. Working out consistently with a trainer. 3. Getting rid of the junk. 4. Boundaries. 5. Commitment to the journey. 6. Reading the Bible. “Man does not live on bread alone but by every Word of God.” (: Let’s all try to treat our bodies like a temple ❤
Great video, I believe starting your morning with God is imperative. The first 15 minute rule spend the first 15 minutes of your day with God(prayer, praise& worship, 5 minute devotional, 10 minute bible study, meditation or gratitude journaling). Not your emails, no social media or checking text messages.I believe this sets a standard for your day, sometimes we forget “seek ye first the kingdom of God”… It’s truly a blessing to being “Fit” in the lord!
I prayed before my lunch asking God to help me with with the spirit of self-control and taking care of my temple. Opened up youtube to your new video right after. Perfect timing :)
Great video! Tip number 6 I would suggest intermittent fasting. Daily devotion with God on an empty stomach and an empty mind, ready to be filled with the nourishment of His word has been a heaven on earth experience for me in 2023. I pray this helps someone!
Great Message! I was almost 300lbs last August '22, but when I was rushed to the hospital from being in excruciating pain due to a health issue, motivated me to loose weight & start my new lifestyle. Since on my journey of working out from 5 to 6 days a week at the gym, walking 3 miles 4 to 5 times a week during the summer and working out with Grow with Jo since I started nutri system, as of today, I lost almost 80lbs. June was the last month I had an order from nutri system. I feel amazing!!!
Wow! Perfect timing. No more than 5 seconds after I was done w my devotional, your video notification popped up. My devotional for today was literally about having a healthy body. A healthy body is critical to the preparation and execution of the various activities and ministry opportunities the Lord gives us! Thank you Father 🤍🙏🏽
Holy Girl Healthy Tip 6 Keep an accountability journal and track your journey with prayers and thanskgiving. It will also help with expressing frustrations and/or the motions during the journey making it more of a healthy lifetsyle
@@MelodyAlisaMelody I am ashamed and a mess I don't understand why I look back I was so happy healthy vibrant energetic and blessed and yet BACK. I went away and feel STUPID. I didn't have to think to eat healthy. I am not well and feel stuck in Destruction path when i wasn't this way at all. Everything I had and used to do in Christ and church Gone.
This is definitely God! I’ve been praying since this morning to make better food choices, to eat right, get away from gluttony, and i see your Video right before getting off work! This is nobody but God. Thank you for being an obedient messenger. 🙏🏿
Healthy Tip #6 spend 10 mins a day in stillness with God. Mental clarity plays a huge part in mind and body goals and strengthens our flesh and spirit.
Im struggling with binge eating I prayed today God equip me with strength to break these bad habits and he always come through with the messages I come across!! ❤
@karimealvarado me too😞I just saw a video from camping with family and I’ve never been so big or unhealthy in my life. I am not bringing God honor or treating my body right. I pray you grow well on this journey. ❤
One thing that has helped me with gluttony is “ Never give your body all it wants at any time”. When you want 3 drumsticks have only 2. When you usually have 3 consecutive meals only have 2. Limit what you usually do and when you do so ask God for the strength to be generous to those in need and practice self control ✝️🫶🏾if the Holy Spirit dwells in you, you CAN DO IT. Read Philippians 4:12-13, “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:12-13 NIV
GOD IS SO GOOD. The second time, I prayed about something in my heart, and here you are with a video. This morning, I said,"Holy Spirit, help me to treat you temple better. Look at God.
I would add, pray for discipline and to be able to sustain the lifestyle change especially if you have fear of change. You need a mindset shift and grace from God to maintain your commitment to being better. ❤
The Holy Spirit has revealed to me that I struggle with emotional eating. This is something I have dealt with since 4 years old! I'm 31 now. I understand that change won't come overnight but I am more aware about the things I eat and the frequency that I eat and "why" I'm eating. I typically eat when I'm bored and I noticed the habit forming in my children. I never thought of emotional eating as a generational curse but I am on the journey of breaking this in my life and my family's life. I keep a food journal to acknowledge what I'm eating and how often. I'll add a symbol when I'm eating due to an emotion vs actually being hungry. There are certain foods I don't buy anymore when I go grocery shopping. This has helped me out too. I want to treat my temple with respect! I want the Holy Spirit to dwell in a holy place inside of me. I no longer want to fill it with junk! Thank you so much for sharing.
6. Getting into God's presence every day. When we step into his presence, we are taken care of emotionally, mentally and spiritually, and as a result, we are in better physical health.
I’ve felt soooo convicted about my music. I listen to rap music while working out. I want to find some good Christian rap that can help me get pumped and not be filth in my mind.
I was watching an interesting documentary today about the food industry (especially about sugar) and I got so disgusted. The way sugar affects our bodies really had me thinking twice. How it creates an addiction stronger than hard drugs & how we as Christians might turn it into an idol. I thank God for giving me a confirmation haha. I love your videos Melody. They are always a delight.
this just came for me. my sugar addiction comes in the form of latte’s (Vanilla iced latte made with soy milk, but only 3 pumps of vanilla) I’ve noticed I get this everyday because it’s just so comforting for me😩
I'm on this same journey right now. Holy Spirit really pressed the importance of my body being his temple. Right now it is mostly about what I am physically putting in my body. Being mindful of ingredients and what is real. I feel like running across this video was confirmation to keep going. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for this video it was so timely! 6th Holy girl healthy habit would be fasting from social media. It allows me to de-clutter my mind which allows me to hear clearly from the Lord. Social media is great; however, it can be a distraction and cause you to compare your journey with others that God never intended for you to worry about.
Such a good one!! It can truly be such a distraction and something that’s so built into our everyday lives, i love the idea of purposefully fasting from it to draw closer to God and take care of our minds!
@@Always.Rejoice Hey! I usually pray before I start the fast, and I just ask the Lord to speak to me during the time that I choose to be off of social media. Sometimes I am off for a couple of days, and sometimes it's for a month. Instead of scrolling, I will use that time to read the Bible, pray, just be still and ask God to speak. I also turn off the notifications, so that I won't be tempted to go back on before the fast is up. Praying that helps!
This is super helpful. I struggle a lot in this area but God is helping me through. I would add fasting to the list. Fasting has mental and spiritual benefits but it has physical benefits as well when done right.
Love this comment and can definitely relate! I did a fast a few months ago and it completely changed my attitude towards food, specifically with being mindful of my portions.
I’ve been praying on this particular part of my life, not only for myself but for my family. I laugh at little things on how God has answered one of my prayers-> eating out/ fast food. Every time I eat out with my family recently the food has been absolutely not good, to the point my foods been undercooked or even when I tried to get away with eating at “fresh” fast food places like in’n’out here in cali, it doesn’t taste the same. So I’m accepting that the Holy Spirit is at work for sure! Gods given me a vision and I’m so so very blessed to have your episode come up in my journey now. As you said now that you know your why and how deeply God wants for us to be healed and have power and authority in His Temple, I have a focus and desire to worship Him with my body. Thank you for your witness and your ministry!! Our Father is so Good!
As someone who has struggled with body image and eating disorders for most of her life- I would have to say the Holy Girl Habit that I’ve been convicted of is idolizing my earthly body. I can definitely place too much focus in the “here and now” version of me when it comes to food and fitness instead of the eternal perspective I get to experience with my Heavenly Father 🤍 When I obsess out of fear and vanity I’m bound to be disappointed and dissatisfied 🤷🏻♀️ This was a great message in stewarding our bodies for HIS glory! 🙌🏻 Thanks sis! 💓
May God continue to bless you Melody ❤ Unfortunately, I don't have the privilege of accessing the foods that will nourish my body, due to my circumstances. At the moment I feel like the Israelites who were eating Manna to survive. However, I have been praying unceasingly for God's provision of food to abound. I know that God will answer my prayer because the prayer of a holy person is powerful and effective (James 5:16). God keeps reminding me that he is giving me everything I need to survive everyday. I know his provision is there, but sometimes I struggle to discern and appreciate it. I feel weak but that means God is going to intercede and make me strong (2 Corinthians 12:10). Glory to God ❤
Girl, you and I are on the same page💕 I read a book that keep reminding me that my body is a temple. Also challenging to daily keep this body clean and healthy for the King who lives in me. My sixth habit would be rest. I overwork myself so much and get overwhelmed to try and do everything 🥴The Lord encourages rest as this is a time of reflection but also we shouldn’t get struck in resting, something I had to learn during winter🙈
I have been really struggling with eating healthy, and staying active, and yesterday I prayed to God for Him to please bring me advice on how to take care of myself, and no lie, I got the notification about this video not too long after
I would say the 6th holy girl habit is REST! Sometimes I get so focused on numbers and checking things off my list I miss that resting and allowing God to speak to me in His still small voice. Melody, thanks for this amazing video! God bless you!
Yet another timely post! Gluttony was definitely something that was highlighted to me in my spiritual journey but God is working on me. Time to clean up and take care of this temple!
I ordered Domino’s last night because I was upset. 😅 So I completely understand the comfort food aspect! Shifting from hating my body due to societal standards to respecting my body because The Holy Spirit is present-whew! Thanks for posting and congratulations on the baby! Subscribed. :)
Why does this make me emotional? I have a lot of self hate and thinking of how I treat my body is very hurtful and I forget that my body doesn’t hate me and just wants to keep me alive. Thank you for reminding me that our bodies deserve to be cared for💗
Ive been working through a devotional about body image and over eating. I struggle with emotional eating. And Ive tried so many things. When you said “it is that deep” I felt it ❤ thank you Melody
You on my Street Sis!!! This is Right On Time! I don’t always have the language to articulate what Im feeling but you broke down everything I have been Praying about perfectly! Thank You!
Wow, this was literally right on time! And so in alignment with what God has been speaking to me recently. Starting a fitness routine, taking more time to plan out my meals, and taking better care of my body! You always come through with the come through! 💛
It’s beautiful to hear things that the HS puts in our hearts, especially when others say them out loud. I love this list, one other one the HS has told me is to have standards. Standards in what you eat, eating like the princesses we are.
I just started weekly challenges to help me continue to grow closer to God such as reading scripture & meditating on it day & night. So that would be my 6th habit. I Love your content & Thanks for the vid! GOD BLESS🙏
I used food as comfort since i was a child. Now in my 20s God has blessed me to be able to lose weight by working with a trainer. I also try to ask the Lord to help me honor Him with my eating when I pray over my food. Game changer for me! I also wanted to add because it came to my mind. Keeping up with your hygiene is another way to treat your body as a temple. Showering, brusshing/flossing, even moisturizing. If I ever have kids then i would love to teach them this
Thanks so much I was just saying to myself. I need to adopt a healthier lifestyle for myself. And the 6th thing I would say is Journaling writing down your thoughts and emotions out to God. It’s a huge release for me it’s helped me a whole lot ❤🙏🏾
So true about boundaries. I used to listen to a podcast that I found so fun to listen to, gave me a little dose of drama and just felt like girl talk, but eventually I noticed that I was carrying this negative mindset around with me, always expecting the worst. (the podcast basically reviewed negative interpersonal interactions they read about on the internet) I was sad to let it go at first, but now I can absolutely tell that it was negatively effecting my mind, and I feel so much better and more positive and hopeful.
I would say number 6 is listening. We should listen to out bodies when we feel uncomfortable around someone or something. We need to tune into why we feel the way we do
Sixth Holy girl habit I would love to add is praying through the journey, asking the Holy Spirit always for a heart-check, guidance, strength and renewal in Christ Jesus.
Thanks so much for sharing Melody!! This is true equipping ❤️ I'd love to see some meal suggestions 👀. I'm really in need ha ha My 6th habit would be prioritizing fellowship outside of the Sunday gathering. I currently don't have consistent fellowship, but I've been believing in faith to meet sisters in Christ that I can fellowship with physically on a weekly basis!
Hey sis! I loved the holy girl healthy habits ❤, also that you mentioned what we take into our minds, by what we listen too, and shows we watch, great point.
Every week your speaking directly to me sis! God has been calling me take on a health and fitness journey and make it priority in my life. Praying to truly commit and have faith and encourage along the journey.
This was such a beautiful video sis!😭 Thank you so much! This was a word from God himself that He knew I needed at the most perfect time. Thank you so much for this great advice!
Perfect timing, as always! I needed the reminder to see God as my teammate and my body as a temple. I've done it before so I know I can. Just needed this reminder. Thank you.
This was so enriching and right on time! I definitely needed this as an extra boost to get re-focused on the journey. I even wrote notes so that I can refer back as often as needed. God cares about every area of my life, so invite Him in the process! Thank you so much for sharing💕
Hii the 6th Healthy Girl Habit, in resting from workouts and relaxing just invite him in that time so that when the silence comes in I feel like that’s when I draw him closer to allow my days or week to go well. Note: 4th habit. I am exactly in tht journey that I cut back a lot of watching dramas or anime. I rarely watch it. Haven’t watched anime for months. For gym YES, I only listen to Worship music or no music. So Ik exactly how you feel.
Omgosh- I needed this video!! Currently on a 20: 4 intermittent fasting window and a part of me was like "Lord, you know I need the energy for these two kids you gave me soooo I'm about to have some chocolate and break my fast" LOL. Glad this video came in on time. Thank you for inspiring us! 🤍
This was so necessary esp since I’ve been on a mental, emotional, spiritual and physical Journey! Just a reminder to keep growing and allowing God to renew my mind daily Thank you! Love the trainer idea! ❤️🙏🏾🙌🏾
This is sooo true, I’ve been wanting to share how fasting has opened my eyes to how much I need to continuously work on self control. This inspired me ❤
Sis ... when I tell you this video has truly blessed me! Needed this message and I mean it was right on time. Thank you so much for reminding me how important it is to take care of myself, especially in this area of my life. I would love to see more updates or tips along the way as you navigate this healthy lifestyle. Maybe even a little health series on your channel on this topic? I feel this is so important, especially nowadays. Thank you again for all that you do. I'm truly blessed to have found your channel.
Hey, sis!! So - let us know!! What would your 6th Holy Girl *Healthy* Habit be?!

Healthy tip #6 Lean on God when your “motivation” isn’t enough! Some days I don’t have enough energy to show up for myself so I show up for God instead since He always is there for me.
This blessed me. Show up for God…adopting this mindset. ❤
Making this my screen saver! “ lean on God when your motivation isn’t enough!”
1. Accepting that God cares “deeply” about how we treat our bodies.
2. Working out consistently with a trainer.
3. Getting rid of the junk.
4. Boundaries.
5. Commitment to the journey.
6. Reading the Bible. “Man does not live on bread alone but by every Word of God.” (:
Let’s all try to treat our bodies like a temple ❤

Why does this make me emotional? I have a lot of self hate and thinking of how I treat my body is very hurtful and I forget that my body doesn’t hate me and just wants to keep me alive. Thank you for reminding me that our bodies deserve to be cared for💗
Ive been working through a devotional about body image and over eating. I struggle with emotional eating. And Ive tried so many things. When you said “it is that deep” I felt it ❤ thank you Melody
You on my Street Sis!!! This is Right On Time! I don’t always have the language to articulate what Im feeling but you broke down everything I have been Praying about perfectly! Thank You!
Enjoyed this video. I would have this as number 6: Embrace and enjoy the journey/process. it won’t be perfect, but take it one day at a time.
Wow, this was literally right on time! And so in alignment with what God has been speaking to me recently. Starting a fitness routine, taking more time to plan out my meals, and taking better care of my body! You always come through with the come through! 💛
Literally the same and I’m struggling to start.
It’s beautiful to hear things that the HS puts in our hearts, especially when others say them out loud. I love this list, one other one the HS has told me is to have standards. Standards in what you eat, eating like the princesses we are.
I just started weekly challenges to help me continue to grow closer to God such as reading scripture & meditating on it day & night. So that would be my 6th habit. I Love your content & Thanks for the vid! GOD BLESS🙏
I used food as comfort since i was a child. Now in my 20s God has blessed me to be able to lose weight by working with a trainer. I also try to ask the Lord to help me honor Him with my eating when I pray over my food. Game changer for me! I also wanted to add because it came to my mind. Keeping up with your hygiene is another way to treat your body as a temple. Showering, brusshing/flossing, even moisturizing. If I ever have kids then i would love to teach them this
Thanks so much I was just saying to myself. I need to adopt a healthier lifestyle for myself. And the 6th thing I would say is Journaling writing down your thoughts and emotions out to God. It’s a huge release for me it’s helped me a whole lot ❤🙏🏾
So true about boundaries. I used to listen to a podcast that I found so fun to listen to, gave me a little dose of drama and just felt like girl talk, but eventually I noticed that I was carrying this negative mindset around with me, always expecting the worst. (the podcast basically reviewed negative interpersonal interactions they read about on the internet) I was sad to let it go at first, but now I can absolutely tell that it was negatively effecting my mind, and I feel so much better and more positive and hopeful.
I would say number 6 is listening. We should listen to out bodies when we feel uncomfortable around someone or something. We need to tune into why we feel the way we do
Sixth Holy girl habit I would love to add is praying through the journey, asking the Holy Spirit always for a heart-check, guidance, strength and renewal in Christ Jesus.
Finding your channel has been such a blessing.

So good sis! ❤ thank you for all your videos so helpful
Thanks so much for sharing Melody!! This is true equipping ❤️
I'd love to see some meal suggestions 👀. I'm really in need ha ha
My 6th habit would be prioritizing fellowship outside of the Sunday gathering. I currently don't have consistent fellowship, but I've been believing in faith to meet sisters in Christ that I can fellowship with physically on a weekly basis!

Quality content here. Amazing message
This so timely!
Perfect timing, as always! I needed the reminder to see God as my teammate and my body as a temple. I've done it before so I know I can. Just needed this reminder. Thank you.
This was so enriching and right on time! I definitely needed this as an extra boost to get re-focused on the journey. I even wrote notes so that I can refer back as often as needed. God cares about every area of my life, so invite Him in the process! Thank you so much for sharing💕
Wow I really ed need this God bless you
Hii the 6th Healthy Girl Habit, in resting from workouts and relaxing just invite him in that time so that when the silence comes in I feel like that’s when I draw him closer to allow my days or week to go well.
Note: 4th habit. I am exactly in tht journey that I cut back a lot of watching dramas or anime. I rarely watch it. Haven’t watched anime for months. For gym YES, I only listen to Worship music or no music. So Ik exactly how you feel.
Omgosh- I needed this video!! Currently on a 20: 4 intermittent fasting window and a part of me was like "Lord, you know I need the energy for these two kids you gave me soooo I'm about to have some chocolate and break my fast" LOL. Glad this video came in on time. Thank you for inspiring us! 🤍
“You know I need the energy for these two kids” 😂 RIGHT!
LOL!! @@Faith459
This was so necessary esp since I’ve been on a mental, emotional, spiritual and physical Journey! Just a reminder to keep growing and allowing God to renew my mind daily Thank you! Love the trainer idea! ❤️🙏🏾🙌🏾
The way you just dragged meeee 😩 thank you Holy Spirit 😅 I truly NEEDED to hear these things, girl! IT IS THAT DEEP! ❤️🔥
This is sooo true, I’ve been wanting to share how fasting has opened my eyes to how much I need to continuously work on self control. This inspired me ❤
Thank you for this!
Sis ... when I tell you this video has truly blessed me! Needed this message and I mean it was right on time. Thank you so much for reminding me how important it is to take care of myself, especially in this area of my life. I would love to see more updates or tips along the way as you navigate this healthy lifestyle. Maybe even a little health series on your channel on this topic? I feel this is so important, especially nowadays. Thank you again for all that you do. I'm truly blessed to have found your channel.
Such a great video, very timely in my life journey
