HOLISTIC WELLNESS MATTERS @imattercomm

  These posts—whether in text or video—are first and foremost for me , as part of my personal healing journey toward holistic wellness. I choose to share them with you as a way of opening up my own lived experiences, lessons, and practices that help me move closer to my goals, and possibly be an aid to any challenge you may be facing. I am not presenting myself as an expert, but as someone actively stepping into purpose and growing in real time. My hope is that what I share may encourage, inspire, or support you on your own journey. It is truly my pleasure to walk alongside you and serve as your community assistant in this space. I recently had a breakthrough and now I'm putting specific exercises into practice to repair what needs attention. When doctors convince someone that something is wrong with them—even when it may not be, or not to the degree stated—it can be especially damaging because of the authority and trust people place in medical professionals. This isn’t always in...

  Life has a way of beating us down — with stress, expectations, and unhealed layers we’ve carried way too long. For many of us, the simple acts of breathing deeply, creating with joy, and believing in ourselves again feel out of reach.

I've come to a sacred point in my journey where survival no longer defines me. The fight to simply make it through the day is begining to soften, and my body whispers for something more: healing. Shifting from survival mode into awareness is not always easy. My mind still wants to keep going, to hustle, to prove. Yet my body — this vessel that has carried me through pain, stress, and storms — is asking for rest. And rest is not weakness. It is not laziness. Rest is holy. Its sacred, even God rested. Scripture reminds us in Matthew 11:28 that Jesus calls us to lay down our burdens and find rest in Him. That rest is an act of trust — a declaration that we no longer need to carry it all alone. Consider how long you’ve held the weight of responsibility, worry, and past wounds. In this new season of transformation, compassion must replace criticism, and intention must replace survival. Stand with yourself, not against yourself. Rest without guilt. Move forward with grace. Healing is n...

  🔄 Healthy Coping Methods Help You: Regulate emotions: Practices like breathing exercises, journaling, and prayer help you manage stress before it escalates. Preserve energy: Setting boundaries and practicing self-care prevents burnout. Stay focused: Reducing mental clutter through mindfulness helps you prioritize and make clearer decisions. Maintain resilience: Positive coping builds emotional strength for when life gets overwhelming. 💡 Result: You’re more equipped to navigate daily challenges with calm, clarity, and confidence. ⚠️ Unhealthy Coping Methods Can: Drain your energy: Avoidance, overworking, or substance use may provide short-term relief but create long-term exhaustion. Escalate stress: Bottling up emotions or overloading your schedule increases anxiety. Disrupt relationships: Poor boundaries or lashing out pushes support systems away. Delay healing: Numbing strategies block growth and prolong cycles of struggle. 💡 Result: You’re more l...

        Isn't it strange the way we chase after the very things that keep us bound, whether it's relationship, friendship, a thing we enjoy, a place we like to go, etc. and we pretty much give a side eye to the things that could actually set us free. Almost as if we intentionally seek to re-wound ourselves, returning to pain because its what we know.  ( It could be a old pain, a new pain, change the name or the place its still a pain.) Deep within us, a thought arises that is strengthened by our choices and we begin to believe that maybe this is what we deserve, that recovery/wholeness or healing is for other people. Needless to say we tend to cling on to the hurt, wrap it around ourselves like that favorite blanket, and call it our own. I do believe that is the work of the enemy, deception. The enemy will do anything to keep us trapped, manipulating people, and situations, he goes all out to keep us in bondage. It doesn't make sense, why would anyone in t...

  *Even though I was incapacitated years ago, the first time I heard about capacity was this year from Ms. Raquel: "The Capacity Expert" having a High Lvl Conversation with Mr. 19 Keys.  The professionals called it chronic fatigue syndrome back when I didn't understand what was happening to me. I learned something new and I'm sharing it with you. Today we live in a  high-speed world, we often hear people say they’re “overstimulated” or “burnt out,” while others talk about not having the “capacity” to deal with life’s demands. These terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but they don’t mean the same thing. Understanding the difference between overstimulation and low capacity can help us better care for our minds, bodies, and spirits.   Overstimulation is... Overstimulation happens when your nervous system is overwhelmed by too much input — sound, light, information, conversations, emotions, pressure — coming at you all at once or for too long. It’s a sensory and...
