Day 7: The Temple — Reclaiming Your Physical Domain

Welcome to Day 7. The gloves are off. Today, we’re getting right down to the physical domain. This isn’t about vanity. This is about respect.

Your body is not just a shell; it’s the temple that houses you—your spirit, your mind, your dreams. So let’s ask the hard questions:

How do you maintain this temple? 

Do you have no filter, allowing anything and anyone access to it as a way to numb your emotions and pain, or as a way to have the only fun and release you wrongfully think you can afford in this life, or punish yourself for whatever sin you think you deserve the worst for, as if you are the Divine Judge? Or are you healthily, fiercely selective with what you eat, what you wear, and who you grant access?

  • Do you eat right? Or are you fueling a high-performance vehicle with cheap, dirty gas and wondering why it’s sputtering?
  • Are you within a healthy BMI? This isn’t about shame; it’s about the honest mechanical load you’re placing on your heart, your joints, your entire system.
  • What about your posture? Are you carrying yourself like the worthy being you are, or are you hunched over, hiding from the world?

If you do any of those self-harming things—whether it’s binge eating, starving yourself, neglecting grooming, or living in chaos—I need you to truly take a step back and ask yourself WHY?

  • Why do I eat to numb out?
  • Why do I not invest the ten minutes a day to groom myself in a way that makes me feel proud?
  • Why do I not move this body that is literally designed to run, jump, and thrive?
  • Why is my living environment a mess? Is my space a reflection of my internal chaos?

The Non-Negotiable Guide to Rebuilding Your Temple

This is where we stop asking and start doing. Here’s your guide to taking back control:

1. The Audit & The Journal:
Your first task is radical honesty. Write every single physical habit in your Physical Habits Journal. Everything from your morning glass of water to your late-night scrolling in bed. You cannot change what you refuse to see. This journal is your map; it will guide you day by day to release the bad and adopt the good.

2. The Sacred Ritual of Sleep:
I cannot overstate this. Almost everything in your life relies on the quality of your sleep. Your hormones, your mental clarity, your mood, your ability to handle stress, your cravings—everything.

  • The Guide: Protect your sleep like your life depends on it, because it does. Create a wind-down ritual. No screens an hour before bed. Make your room dark, cool, and quiet. This is your number one priority.

3. Move with Purpose:
You don’t need a brutal 2-hour gym session. You need consistent, intentional movement.

  • The Guide: Start with 20 minutes a day. Walk. Dance in your living room. Do yoga. Stretch. The goal is not to punish your body but to celebrate its capability. Listen to it. Feel it come alive.

4. Fuel, Don’t Just Feed:
Food is information. Every bite is a command to your cells.

  • The Guide: Don’t go on a drastic diet. Start with one thing. Add one more vegetable to your day. Drink one more glass of water. Swap the sugary drink for herbal tea. Make choices that honor your temple, not pollute it.

A Special Note for the Ladies:

This is crucial. Your body operates on a sacred, powerful rhythm—your infradian rhythm. Pushing through it like a man (who operates on a 24-hour cycle) is why we are exhausted, burnt out, and facing an epidemic of hormonal and autoimmune diseases.

  • Your Guide: Let your Unapologetically Feminine Journal be your best friend. Sync your life, diet, exercise, and work intensity with your menstrual cycle. Rest when your body is telling you to rest. Leverage your energy when it’s at its highest. This isn’t a weakness; it’s your ultimate biological advantage. It is how you take care of yourself, the way your female body truly deserves.

Your physical domain is the foundation. You cannot build a powerful spirit or a sharp mind on a foundation that is crumbling. It’s time to become the guardian of your own temple. No more excuses. The work starts today.
