HOLISTIC WELLNESS MATTERS @imattercomm

In this life we experience many seasons — and each season carries its own rhythm. There are moments when everything flows smoothly, and others when it feels like everything is happening all at once. During times of change, it’s natural to feel out of sync. What used to work may no longer fit where you are now, and that’s okay. Sometimes when things are shifting in your life, you can’t keep the same schedule. This is where finding your rhythm comes in. The balancing act isn’t easy, but it’s possible. Realizing what’s a priority and what can wait is vital to establishing a rhythm that will actually work for you in this season. Think about it — a music producer doesn’t add all the instruments at once. That would create chaos, not harmony. Each sound is layered intentionally, timed perfectly, and blended with care. Your life is much the same. You are the composer, and God is your ultimate Conductor. Some things are meant to play constantly — like prayer, gratitude, and faith...

I share from my own healing journey—these posts are for me first, then if you relate, for you too. I’m simply walking in purpose and sharing what helps me heal and grow, in hopes it may encourage you to. 🌱✨  Cortisol is a hormone your body produces in response to stress. It’s made by your adrenal glands (small glands that sit on top of your kidneys) and plays a big role in how your body manages stress, energy, and balance. Functions of Cortisol Stress response : Often called the "stress hormone," cortisol helps your body deal with challenges by triggering the "fight-or-flight" response. Metabolism : It helps regulate how your body uses carbohydrates, fats, and proteins for energy. Inflammation control : Cortisol keeps inflammation in check, so your immune system doesn’t overreact. Blood sugar balance : It works with insulin to keep your blood sugar levels steady. Sleep/wake cycle : Cortisol is usually higher in the morning (to help you wake up and ...

  Oftentimes we underestimate the power of our own breath. Yet God designed it as both life-giving and healing. When life feels overwhelming, stress builds in our bodies, or our minds race with anxiety, slowing down to breathe becomes an act of faith. Every inhale reminds us of the Spirit that sustains us. Every exhale becomes a release of fear, tension, and things we’re not meant to carry. Breathing intentionally is more than a wellness technique — it’s a way of partnering with God to regulate our nervous system and invite His peace into our whole being. 🌿 Scripture Isaiah 26:3 (NIV): “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” This verse reminds us that peace isn’t about circumstances — it’s about posture. A mind and body that trust in God can find calm, even in chaos. 🌱 Reflection When you practice intentional breathing, see it as aligning your body with your spirit. As your breath slows, imagine God steadying your mind a...

Emotional & Creative Renewal ✍🏽 Journaling Prompt : “What is God asking me to release this season? ...

For a long time, I didn’t understand that the world we live in is both a spiritual and physical. I had it backwards, I thought spirituality was small and limited, and the physical was where “real life” happened. What I didn’t know back then was that the opposite is true — it’s the physical that’s limited, while the spiritual is eternal and unshakable.  I heard about God, but I never really tried to know Him for myself. When I did go to church I took what the Pastor said as if he was God himself, but I know better now. As I grew older, I still kept Him at a distance. He wasn’t first in my life. I thought I could handle things on my own, and I was so wrong to think this way, so I never invited Him into my struggles, my decisions, or my pain. Here’s what I’ve come to realize: God saw me all along. He knew where I was, what I was facing, and what I needed. But He didn’t step in — not because He didn’t care, but because He is who He is. He won’t force Himself where He isn’t welcomed. ...
