REJUVENATE: Spa Day

REJUVENATE: week 3

spa at home

In Psalms 119 (around verse 80) the Message paraphrase of David’s words say,

 

“And let me live whole and holy, soul and body, so I can always walk with my head held high.”
 

Yesterday we spent some time focusing on habits that benefit the soul and today I’m going to encourage you to spend some time taking care of your body.  When was the last time you had a spa day?

 

Self-care is not frivolous.  I like to think of it as filling up my own energy reserves so that I can then have something to give to others.  A spa day is a fun way to pamper yourself and fill up those reserves.  Also, when you feel good about the way your hair, skin, and nails look that extra confidence shows in the way you relate with others.

 

I have several recipes to share with you today for some DIY spa treatments.  They’re all very easy to make.

 

The coffee scrub is messy but it feels so good and energizing! 

 

The protein shake is my go to breakfast drink most days.  I used to shy away from protein shakes because I thought they were only for body builders.  I promise you, I don’t look like a body builder- but I have recently lost 30 pounds.  Lean muscle is built with protein.  The more lean muscle you have the more calories you burn even while resting.  For me, that’s a win!  Also, I like that it keeps me feeling full so I don’t want to snack as often.

 

Live whole, soul and body, and walk with your head held high.  You are a loved child of God!
