Welcome to Odyssey, a newsletter for the individual on a journey, or as we like to call it, an odyssey to becoming their most authentic selves whilst having difficult but realistic skincare and wellness conversations. We are your guide to everything selfcare and development.

Hey there odd fam!

In John 10:10, our Lord Jesus said he has come to indeed give us a rich and satisfying life.

That's indeed a life of wellness!

It definitely comes with a level of intentionality on our part.

With that in mind, here are 10 essential kits for your wellness journey.

Let's dive right in!

1. Prayer and Meditation Kit: Recognizing the value of prayer and meditation in promoting wellness, it's important to take note of the necessary items. 

A Bible, a prayer journal for jotting down the insights the Lord lays on our hearts, and relaxing oils like lavender truly assist us in this endeavor.

2. Healthy Eating Kit: Honoring our bodies as God's temple and vessel means being intentional about healthy eating. 

A nutritious recipe book, a meal planning journal, fresh fruits and vegetables, and herbal teas genuinely help nourish our bodies for wellness.

3. Fitness and Exercise Kit: While honoring our bodies, we acknowledge the role of fitness.

By caring for this aspect of our lives, we genuinely steward our bodies as we should. 

Essential items include dumbbells, hydration bottles, a workout routine guide, and comfortable workout attire. They truly make a difference.

4. Rest and Sabbath Kit: Our Heavenly Father rested, and we should follow suit. 

We're not on Team Hustle, amen? 

We work hard and rest wholeheartedly. 

Basic essentials include a cozy blanket or shawl, relaxing scented candles (which truly help), and soft music like Lofi Christian music. 

With these, you're well on your way to obtaining proper rest.

5. Community and Fellowship Kit: Believers shouldn't navigate life alone. 

If Jesus had disciples and even our Lord exists in the Trinity, why should we choose solitude? 

Basic requirements include Bible study materials, invitations for fellowship gatherings, notepads for sharing insights, and tea or coffee for group meetings.

6. Gratitude and Contentment Kit: In a world designed to fuel complaints instead of gratitude, being intentional is key. 

Necessary tools include a gratitude journal, daily affirmation cards, scriptures on contentment, and perhaps a bouquet of fresh flowers. 

There's something about flowers that invigorate you and fill you with hope.

7. Service and Giving Kit: A life of service contributes to a life of wellness. 

Jesus served us, and as His disciples, we're called to lead a life of service. 

Essential items that aid in this are a list of volunteer opportunities, encouragement cards for others, a donation jar for charity, and stories of service from our spiritual leaders.

8. Joy and Celebration Kit: In the presence of the Lord, there's fullness of joy.

A life of wellness is a life of joy. 

Key elements that contribute are a playlist of uplifting music, celebration candles, scriptures on joy, and party decorations.

9. Self-Care Kit: Self-care is a necessity for wellness. 

It aids us in fulfilling our various assignments as vessels of God through focus, clarity, and ultimately peace of mind. 

Basic items include guided relaxation audio and a stress-relief coloring book. We also recommend a solo-date or two once in a while! A good skincare routine and spa day never hurt nobody!

10. Scripture Study Kit: Psalms 1:2-3 highlights the life of one who spends time with the Word. 

Through scripture, we find peace, joy, clarity, and overall wellness. 

Necessary elements include a study Bible with commentary, highlighters and pens, a study notebook, and a Bible study app or software. They significantly aid our wellness journey.

With these, we can incorporate biblical principles into various aspects of our wellness journey, promoting holistic health and spiritual growth.

Be sure to get them and USE them.

Until next time,

The Odyssey Team.
