5 Tips for Removing Inflammatory Behaviors From Your Life

(Because Healing Ain’t Just About What’s on Your Plate)

When we talk about inflammation, most folks instantly think about swollen joints or what’s going on inside their body. But sis, let me keep it real with you — inflammation isn’t just physical. It can be emotional. Mental. Spiritual. Relational. And if you’re not careful, it’ll silently steal your peace, your joy, and your health.

So today, we’re not just talking about cutting out fried foods (though… yes, do that too). We’re talking about detoxing your WHOLE life — body, mind, and spirit. Because true healing requires a full sweep.

Here are 5 powerful ways to remove inflammatory behaviors from your life so you can make room for peace, healing, and growth:

1. Stop Feeding Your Body Foods That Feed Inflammation

Look, I’m not saying never enjoy a slice of cake again. But sugar overload, processed junk, and refined carbs are out here causing chaos inside your body like toxic exes you keep letting back in.👀

✅ Add more leafy greens, fatty fish (like salmon), turmeric, ginger, berries, and olive oil into your meals.
✅ Say less to the white sugar and white flour, and more to real, whole foods God placed on this earth to nourish you.
✅ Pro tip: Drinking water with lemon, cucumber, or mint? Chef’s kiss for flushing out the nonsense.

🛑 Inflammatory behavior to ditch: Mindless snacking on junk when you're stressed. Try deep breathing, prayer, or journaling instead.

2. Move Your Body Like Your Life Depends on It (Because It Does)

You don’t have to be out here training like you’re going to the Olympics — but you DO need to move. Stagnation breeds inflammation. Movement promotes healing.

🚶🏽‍♀️ Walking counts. Stretching counts. Dancing in your kitchen to your favorite praise playlist? Oh, that counts too.

Exercise helps:

• Lower cortisol (your stress hormone)

• Reduce chronic inflammation

• Boost your mood like WHOA

🛑 Inflammatory behavior to ditch: Sitting all day with no breaks. Set a timer. Get up. Move your body. Even 10 minutes makes a difference.

3. Set Boundaries Like Your Peace Depends on It (Because It Does)

Some people are like sugar to your soul — sweet at first, but cause all kinds of damage if you let ‘em stay too long.

💡 Say NO to:

• One-sided relationships

• Energy vampires

• People who gaslight, disrespect, or drain you

Remember: “No” is a holy word. You don’t need to explain, justify, or debate your boundaries. Protect your peace at all costs.

🛑 Inflammatory behavior to ditch: Saying yes when your spirit is screaming no.

4. Manage Your Mindset — Thoughts Can Be Toxic Too

Scripture says “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). That means what you’re thinking on repeat is shaping your reality — and your health.

📌 Stop rehearsing failure.
📌 Stop entertaining thoughts like “I’m not enough,” “I’ll never get it right,” or “I always mess up.”
📌 Speak life over yourself daily.

✨ Try this affirmation: “I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I release what doesn’t serve my healing.”

🛑 Inflammatory behavior to ditch: Negative self-talk and limiting beliefs that keep you stuck.

5. Prioritize Rest — Hustle Culture Will Have You Inflamed and Depleted

Burnout is inflammatory. Period.

God Himself rested on the seventh day. What makes you think you don’t need to? Rest isn’t lazy. Rest is holy. Rest is productive.

✅ Honor your sleep.
✅ Turn off the phone.
✅ Take breaks without guilt.
✅ Breathe. Pause. Pray.

🛑 Inflammatory behavior to ditch: Believing you have to earn your rest. Nah, sis — rest is your birthright.
