The Midst of the Throes of The CoronaVirus Known as: COVID-19

We are all striving to do our part as we work together to Slow, Avoid, and/or Contain the spread of COVID-19. A lot of people are staying at home working remotely, or they are either Quarantined, or making efforts to Isolate and also to Stay Safe, and Be Protected; by adhering to the requested rule of Social Distancing, and wear a mask, while out in the public to get essentials for home use. 

These are very trying times as we all make and take the necessary precautionary steps; in the face of; this very vicious and dangerous pandemic COVID-19, in the Quest to Be Safe and Stay Protected.

I am observing there is a Trend Toward not to get too bored and overeat, while at home, and also to focus on ways to better relieve and/or reduce  "Stress".

Therefore, since I'm very concerned about ways To Promote Physical, Emotional, and Mental-being; in order for you; my spiritual Bro's Sisters to BE HEALTHY.

I am discerning a 'Felt-Need' due to the impact of COVID-19 to hope and pray for each of you; that the impact of COVID-19 would be minimal or nonexistent. In addition, you would shift your focus to concentrate on positive matters of life. 

While your attention is in the Positive-knowing-Thought process; you shall use this as an opportunity for reflection, renewal, restoration, and the discovery of the use of Thanksgiving, Intercessory, and Prayers of Supplication for self and others.

I am compelled to provide some additional referral resources that, when necessary, can be utilized for self and others when; and if; it shall be needed 

These Resources are from a Network of professionals I am part and parcel of; in a variety of ways. Such as Spiritual Advisor, Business Adviser, Life Coach, Mentor and/or Corporate Board of Directors, etc

BE HEALTHY: Awesome lifeStyle Changing Journey

I have enjoyed the privilege, pleasure, and the rare opportunity to create, establish, and implement a Lifestyle Change Program for over one and half  decades. The program is spiritually based, and consists of a longevity for the duration of 40 continuous days. Within the time frame of this  awesome  journey which begins on January 1, through February 10, each year. The Lifestyle Change is promoted and conducted on social media, emails, and through discussion forums. Each participant agrees and commits to:
  • Fasting by consuming certain right foods and praying three  times per day
  •  Mediate and read specific scriptures [Daniel 1:1-22, Gal 5:22-26, Isaiah 61:1-4, 58:12}                                                     The Keys and Core Values of the Lifestyle Change are as follows:
  • Spiritual Nutrition: to feed the body and nourish the mind, and spirit 
  • Provide the chance to feed the consciousness to bolster inner peace to discover and embrace contentment.
  • Enhance mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being
  • Ultimately to detox, cleanse the body,purify blood cells, re-build tissues, to heal and aid in the treatment and/or cure  of disorder conditions or maladies.                                                 In the aftermath of the Lifestyle Change in 2020 a new heightened awareness was echoed by all participants  as they  revealed and shared about such things as, how good protein matters, good source of fiber matters, fruits, veggies, & nuts matters, wheat and whole grain items matters, and the importance of omega-3 fish oil and also Wild-Caught Salmon and other seafoods matters.                                                         An enormity of comments, utterances, and testimonies were also shared and revealed by the participants in the Lifestyle Change about the benefits derived thereof. The following is a collective summary narrative discourse of benefits received.  Beginning with this biblical passage, "I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers,and giving of thanks be made for all persons" [1 Tim 2:1}. This is the believe because of our involvement. They went on to say, This is the Acronym for adoration-Praise and Worship to God; confessing and praying to be honest about our sins; uttering thanksgiving to God directly; humbly expressing gratitude and supplication. Doing so, while being concerned for and standing in the gap for others for provision and protection for self and all others.   In conclusion, this is the first of a two part series regards the Lifestyle Change Journey. Part two will be about: "Entering The Genre of Anti-Aging-to take control for a better Biological Age vs the Chronological Age.                                                  Steve Braxton, Ordained Minister, Life Coach, Business Advisor, Author of non-fiction books: "The Road That Is Difficult To Travel" & "Prayer For An Occasion" {eBay, Amazon, Google, Barnes & Noble} sbrax57@g mail.com, http://twitter.com/brasr6, www.linkedin/in/steve.braxton
