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...

Mental Health Awareness & Holistic Wellness Checklist

-



Holistic Wellness Matters
because it addresses the whole person — mind, body, and spirit —
instead of treating just symptoms or isolated issues.
  

🌿 1. Promotes Balance

When we care for our mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health collectively, we create harmony in our lives. One area out of balance can affect all the others.

🧠 2. Prevents Burnout and Breakdown

Ignoring emotional wounds or physical fatigue can lead to stress, illness, or emotional collapse. Holistic wellness is preventative care it helps us check in and course-correct early.

💖 3. Encourages Self-Awareness

It helps us ask deeper questions:

How am I really feeling? 

What do I need right now—rest, connection, healing?

 This kind of awareness leads to growth and transformation. 

✨ 4. Supports Long-Term Healing 

 Rather than quick fixes, holistic practices guide us toward long lasting healing — emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

🤝 5. Strengthens Purpose and Connection

Holistic wellness reminds us we’re not just surviving — we’re here to live with intention, connect with others, and to grow in our purpose.

🙏 6. Honors Your Divine Design

You were created a whole being. Tending to every part of yourself honors how God created you and helps you walk fully in your calling.

  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...
