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...

Obstacles Are Temporary

-


 Im sure you know how it feels to wonder what is going on like life was testing you, throwing up obstacles when you are taking steps to move forward? Whether it's people or unexpected hurdles trying to block your progress and make you question your journey, we’ve all been there.

Some time ago I took a road trip with my sister, and we encountered a situation on the highway that perfectly mirrored life’s obstacles. There was traffic, and some drivers started using the side lane to move ahead. But there was one trucker who decided to block everyone trying to pass, thinking he was stopping them from getting ahead. But in reality, all he did was stop people from exiting the highway, forcing them to get stuck in the same traffic he was. After causing all that frustration, he drove off like nothing had happened.

It’s a lot like life, don't you think? Some people will block your path, try to stop you or create obstacles to keep you from moving forward, and sometimes, they do it out of spite, selfishness, fear, or insecurity. They might not even realize the impact of their actions, or worse, they don’t care.

There is a real lesson here and its simple: no matter what people do or how hard they try to block you, there is always a way to move forward. Don’t let their actions stop you.. There is always a way for you, there may be a side lane, a detour, or a different route that brings you closer to where you need to be. It might not be the easy or direct way, but the important thing is to keep going, even when the road seems blocked.

Remember you don’t have control over other people’s actions, but you do have control over you and how you respond. Don’t let the attempts of others’ stop you or be the reason you don’t reach your destination. Keep moving, stay focused, and remember—most times the roadblocks are temporary or possibly even a test.

  Anxiety can be overwhelming, but through faith, meditation, and self-awareness, it’s possible to cultivate peace and resilience. These three elements work together to help you navigate uncertainty, release fear, and reconnect with your inner strength. 1. Strengthening Faith Faith is a powerful anchor in the midst of anxiety. It allows you to trust in a higher power, release control over what you cannot change, and find comfort in divine guidance.  Here’s how to deepen your faith to combat anxiety: Daily Prayer & Scripture – Speak with God regularly and meditate on scriptures that offer peace and reassurance (e.g., Philippians 4:6-7, Isaiah 41:10). Surrender Your Worries – Practice letting go of what troubles you by verbally giving your burdens to God. Trust the Process – Remind yourself that challenges are temporary, and God’s plan for you is greater than your current fears. 2. Embracing Meditation Meditation is a tool to calm the mind, regulate emotions, and enh...
