The 5 Spiritual Cycles That Keep You Stuck in Fitness (And How to Break Them With God’s Word)Are you a woman over 40 trying to get healthier, stronger, and more confident in your body—but feel stuck no matter how hard you try? You’re not alone. Often, the roadblocks to fitness aren’t just physical—they’re spiritual cycles that keep us in loops of shame, fear, and frustration.In today’s episode, we break down 5 spiritual cycles that can keep you from seeing real results, and I share practical steps you can take to break free with God’s Word.Pattern: “I blew my diet again. I’ll never get this right.” → Quit → Start over.Scripture: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1)Practical Step: When you mess up, replace self-attack with confession + reset. Write: “I failed today, but I’m not a failure. I begin again in grace.”Shame keeps us trapped in self-sabotage. Remember, God’s grace allows you to start fresh each day.Pattern: Stress → Food/Couch → Regret → Repeat.Scripture: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1)Practical Step: Pause before reaching for comfort food. Pray a quick 20-second prayer: “Lord, be my portion right now.”Turning to food or habits for comfort is normal—but your ultimate comfort and satisfaction comes from God.Pattern: Obsessing over calories/results → Fear of slipping → Burnout.Scripture: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5)Practical Step: Release control daily. Start workouts with: “I train from love, not for love.”Fitness isn’t about perfection—it’s about trust and consistency, not fear.Pattern: “This is just who I am” → Low belief → Half effort → Stuck.Scripture: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)Practical Step: Make an “I Am in Christ” list and read it before workouts. Let your true identity fuel your actions.Your results follow your beliefs about who you really are in Christ.Pattern: Emotional heaviness → No energy → Numb out with food or inactivity.Scripture: “Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” (Colossians 3:13)Practical Step: Write down one name (even your own) and pray blessing over them before meals or workouts. Release the weight in your spirit so your body can follow.Bitterness and unforgiveness weigh down the soul—and the body follows suit.Fitness isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual too. When you break these cycles, you’re not just losing pounds; you’re releasing spiritual baggage that has been weighing you down.Faith + Fitness Skool Community:We help women 40+ get stronger in their walk with Christ and drop pounds.
