Holding It In Makes You Sick: The Hidden Cost

Image
  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. And what stays stored eventually surfaces — often through the body. Spiritual Truth: God Never Designed Us to...

May 2025 Mental Health Awareness

 


This month, we bring awareness to mental health— and embrace the #EndTheStigma mindset. 

Let's also remember that we must put our awareness into action to see the results and give hope to others !! 

Recovery is possible, its up to the individual to make the decision. A decision to do what is necessary for the best of you to emerge. A decision to be stronger than whatever is seeking to control you and stunt your growth.

Way too many of us have struggled silently, putting on a strong face while falling to pieces inside. This is why our community stands on the foundation of support, faith, encouragement, and most importantly—awareness.

You are welcome here. You are not alone.

I can only imagine what a world where everyone is holistically well would look like—mind, body, and spirit. What a beautiful reality that could be.

This month is a time to reflect, raise awareness, and most importantly, extend grace to ourselves and each other. Some of us have struggled in silence for years, believing that no one would understand, or ashamed of what they might think. Silence breeds shame—and shame keeps us from healing.

Let us imagine something different: a supportive community for the hard days when you when you're down, celebrates your smallest wins, and encourages your growth without judgment.

Together we can create a safe space built on faith, encouragement, awareness, and love. A place where holistic wellness—mind, body, and spirit—is not just the goal, but the culture.

What would a community of healed people look like? Peaceful? Creative? Bold? Unified? The truth is we don't know and wont know if we never try.

We each can commit to becoming just a little better—to healing, to understanding, to showing up—we would become the change we yearn to see in the world.

Let’s walk this journey together. You're not alone, and you're always welcome here.

Call to Action:
Join the conversation. Share your story. Celebrate someone today. Let’s grow together!!
