27 Affirmations For Good Health
Y’all. Last week tried to take me out. I’d usually say something like, not to sound over dramatic but... But no. I can’t think of a time when I’ve ever been that sick for that long with anything that wasn’t like the flu, and even then, you’re able to take pretty strong meds for relief.
One of my biggest apprehensions about pregnancy has always been this medicine factor, and interestingly enough, even though I’ve been pleasantly surprised to learn that there are more options for relief than I would have expected there are still so many things that are off the table.
I’m going to record a vlog, but long story short, I have a fibroid that grew at the onset of the pregnancy. A fibroid is basically a mass of cells that grows on the uterus. The problem is that that joker is parked in my already very crowded lower abdomen, so I have to work twice as hard to make sure things don’t get thrown out of whack.
Last week was the epitome of that 🙂 haha And you guys when I tell you... getting sick is wild to me every time. That our body’s can be functioning perfectly fine and then 💥
I have two main takeaways from this experience. 1. No one knows your body better than you. If you think there’s something off, call the doctor, and call again, and again. Do your own research. Ask around. Get feedback. And don’t let up until you get to somebody who says we are going to figure this out. Here’s the plan. And even then! Pay attention. Follow up. Ask for a specialist. Don’t feel bad about blowing up their phone. We only get one body, and it’s up to us to fight for it.
2.Late one night about halfway through the week I kind of had a breaking point. I hadn’t slept in days, I was in so much pain, and in that moment time stopped, and I went from praying to declaring. This is a bit of a confession btw. I’m obviously a huge believer in affirmations, but for some reason in the craziness of it all I felt so helpless that I hadn’t even gotten there. And then, like a wave washing over me I heard every gospel and praise song declaring and speaking life into the storm. And just like that my mindset changed. It went from God please help me, please fix this. To —my thoughts are your thoughts. My hands are your hands. My body is healed. Everything is working in perfect flow. Simple things that I would have expected to start out with, but I didn’t. And as I began to speak life back into this body of mine I began to not only feel better physically but empowered mentally.
The beauty of faith is that you can be scared and still declare peace and healing. You can be freaking out and still rest in the confidence that the solution isn’t in the hands of you or the doctors but a God who loves you, sees the best in you, and isn’t limited by any circumstance.
I know that a lot of times we carry health related issues in a very private way so this is just as much for declaring continued good health as it is for specific health related issues. Hope this encourages you today. Xoxo -Chels 💋

Big or small, health scares stop time. On the one side it can be terrifying to receive a bad report or notice an issue with your body, but on the other side, I see it as an opportunity for God to blow us away with a praise report.
Time after time, I’ve seen that it was someone’s commitment to the vision of having a praise report coupled with prayer that created so many breakthroughs both mentally and physically. I want to encourage you to trust that God is in control. That He can heal your body regardless of what the doctor or doctors may be saying is the problem. He can turn that illness around, that condition around, that injury around and make you whole. The key is faith. A blind faith that your steps are ordered and the best is yet to come. ♥
