The Pause Power - Self-Awareness Matters

Image
  In life we are pulled in many directions — deadlines, expectations, responsibilities, and the constant hum of “keep going.” For many of us, it feels easier to push through than to step back. But the truth is this: pushing through without pause often causes more harm than good. 🌿 Self-Awareness Is the First Step Self-awareness is more than knowing what you feel — it’s paying attention to the whispers of your mind, body, and spirit. It’s noticing when your shoulders are heavy or tight, when your thoughts feel cluttered, and may even be racing, or when your spirit longs for quiet. Too often, we ignore these signals until we reach a breaking point. Choosing to pause is not weakness. It’s wisdom. A major power move.  It’s you saying, “I hear myself, and I matter enough to listen.” ⏸️ Your Pause May Look Different from Everyone else's. For some, a pause may be ten minutes of deep breathing or sitting in silence. For others, it may mean unplugging for ten days, journaling, o...

As A Man Thinks In His Heart




As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7

This Word speaks of the transformative power of thought and mindset.
What we believe and focus on can shape our identity and actions. 

What we constantly think about becomes our inner reality, and that reality eventually manifests outwardly.

Internal Beliefs:

These are the quiet convictions that run beneath our conscious thoughts. They're shaped by our past, environment, and experiences, but they hold the power to:

  • Define our self-worth

  • Determine our choices

  • Attract or repel opportunities

  • Affect our mental and spiritual health

If someone constantly thinks they’re unworthy, for example, they may subconsciously reject love, success, or peace— if it's available to them, because they have programmed their mind to believe they do not deserve anything good.

Meditation:

Biblical meditation isn’t just emptying the mind—it’s about filling it with truth. It helps to:

  • Renew the mind (Romans 12:2)

  • Rewire negative thought patterns

  • Strengthen faith and clarity

  • Align beliefs with God’s word

     Meditating on Scriptures, like Proverbs 23:7, allows you to reshape those internal thoughts that became beliefs but are not in alignment with the Word of God. Repeating truths like “I am loved,” “I have a purpose,” or “God is with me,” creates new mental pathways that change how you live and see the world.

    Scripture:

    Ephesians 1:4just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,

     2 Corinthians 5:17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; Old things have  passed away, behold, all things have become new.

     Romans 8:16-17The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,

     Affirmation:

    These can be used for journaling, posting, or prayer:

            I am chosen by God and deeply loved.
            I am redeemed and made new through Christ.
            I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
            I am not my past—I am a new creation.
            I am strong in my weakness because God’s grace sustains me.
            I am God's masterpiece, created with purpose.
            I am never alone—He is always with me.
