Holding It In Makes You Sick: The Hidden Cost

  Many of us grow up learning to “be strong,” “push through,” or “keep it together.” But what we rarely talk about is the weight that comes with carrying emotions we never release. Anger. Bitterness. Jealousy. Resentment. Unforgiveness. Hidden hurt. Silent disappointment. These emotions don’t stay neatly tucked away in the heart. The body feels them. The mind reacts to them. And the soul holds them like unspoken stories. The Body Keeps the Score When we bottle up hard emotions, the body shifts into a subtle form of stress response. Even if we smile on the outside, our inside is tightening, guarding, bracing. Over time, suppressed emotions can contribute to: Chronic tension Anxiety and irritability Fatigue and sleep issues High blood pressure Weakened immune system Digestive issues Emotional numbness or shutdown What stays unspoken becomes stored.

All of this (the posts) they are for me before anybody else, 

I'm simply sharing as I go along on this journey to holistic wellness.

 
Every post I write. Every reflection I share. Every piece of encouragement

it starts as a reminder to myself, since I seem to forget often. 

Call it my Public Self-Talk.

If it speaks to you too, then maybe it was meant for both of us.
But truthfully, I don’t always have a mentor to lean on, or someone guiding my steps.
So I let the Holy Spirit teach me. Guide me. Check me. 

These words become my accountability. I am still healing though I may be at a different point of the process. We can heal together. As I learn, I create and share.
This is my sacred space.
My way of remembering who I am, and who I’m becoming.

And if I ever lose my way again (God forbid!), 

I pray I’ll find my way back through these very words.

So if you’re here reading this—welcome. You’re not alone.
Let’s grow, heal, and align—together.

Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)
"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, This is the way; walk in it."

Affirmation
I am led by the Spirit. I trust the voice within and walk boldly in alignment with purpose. Even in moments of uncertainty, I am never lost—I am being guided.
