🍀RESOURCES and Podcasts for Your Journey
Welcome to Your Reflection Tools and Podcast Devotionals
These resources were created to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and invite God’s peace into your week.
Each resource download and podcast devotionals are simple, grace-filled, and aligned with the heart of Encouraging Mondays —
Coaching the Heart and Mind through God’s Word, one Scripture, one goal, one day at a time.
Our Podcast Devotionals are short, peaceful reflections designed to help you pause, breathe, and reconnect with God’s presence in the middle of your day.
Each episode is 2–4 minutes, simple enough to listen to on the go, yet deep enough to nourish your spirit.
These devotionals are not long-form podcasts or interview-style conversations.
Instead, every episode is a gentle extension of the weekly Encouraging Mondays message — offering Scripture, reflection, and a moment of calm for your heart and mind.
Whether you’re driving, preparing a meal, or taking a quiet moment, these short devotionals are here to meet you right where you are.

🌿Healthy Swaps Reflection: Becoming Aware, Choosing Better, Feeling Better
Healthy Swaps Reflection
A simple tool to help you notice what’s hidden and choose what supports your peace, health, and energy.
1. WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN YOUR FOOD
A. Hidden Added Sugar
Look for “Added Sugar” on the label.
Your goal: 0g most of the time
Occasionally: 1–2g max
Common surprising sources:
• Yogurt
• Granola
• Sauces
• Bread
• Coffee creamers
• “Healthy” snacks
Reflection:
What foods do I eat often that may contain hidden sugars?
B. Hidden Sodium
High sodium leads to swelling, inflammation, headaches, fatigue.
Watch out for:
• Frozen meals
• Canned soups
• Restaurant food
• Chips and crackers
• Seasoned rice or noodle packets
• Salad dressings
Goal: Choose items closer to 250–400mg per serving, rather than 800–1500mg.
Reflection:
Which foods in my pantry have more sodium than I realized?
2. EASY HEALTHY SWAPS
Swap Ideas
• White rice ➜ brown rice or quinoa
• White grits ➜ yellow grits/polenta
• Heavy dressings ➜ olive oil + lemon
• Sugary yogurt ➜ plain yogurt + fruit
• Frozen entrees ➜ frozen veggies + protein
• Soda ➜ flavored sparkling water
• Fast food ➜ Whole Foods hot/cold bar (fresh, clean options)
Reflection:
Which swap feels easiest to start with this week?
3. TEMPLE CARE ON THE GO
When life is busy, choose places where:
Food is fresh
Ingredients are simple
You control the portions
You avoid excess sugar/oil/salt
Examples include:
• Whole Foods hot bar
• Salad bars
• Fresh groceries + rotisserie-style veggies
• Build-your-own bowl spots
Reflection:
What is one on-the-go option near me that supports my health?
4. QUESTIONS FOR YOUR HEART
Ask yourself gently:
• How do certain foods make me feel afterward?
• Where do I notice God nudging me toward better choices?
• What small change could bring me more energy tomorrow?
• Am I honoring the temple He gave me with my choices today?
5. PRAYER FOR HEALTH & WISDOM
“Lord, help me see my body as Your temple.
Give me wisdom as I choose what nourishes me.
Guide my heart, my habits, and my healing.
Help me take small steps each day toward greater health and peace.
Thank You for strengthening me, mind, body, and spirit. Amen.”
