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...

The 4 P’s: Presence, Power, Purpose, Protection

 


 For anyone who thinks I do the healing work on my own—I don’t.

The truth is, I was inspired to make a project out of myself—probably because I spent so much time trying to fix other people. But I couldn’t even fix myself.

God did. (No Khaled😁)

I sought His Presence (His presence comes with Peace) because I was tired of being let down by people. And when I did… He met me there.

Scripture: 

“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”
— James 4:8 (NKJV)

Affirmation:

I am never alone—God’s presence surrounds and sustains me.
I rest in His nearness and peace.

 He gave me Power.
People say I’m strong, courageous—but honestly?
My flesh is weak and I was spiritually weak..
It is God who strengthens me.

Scripture:

“But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.’”
— 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)

Affirmation:

In my weakness, God’s power is made strong.
I rise each day empowered by His Spirit.

 He revealed His Purpose for my life—
Something I always felt deep down… but ran from.
And I realize now, the enemy had access producing those doubts for too long.

Scripture:

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
— Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

Affirmation:

I was created on purpose, for a purpose.
I walk boldly in the calling God placed over my life.

 

And even now, God continues to offer Protection.
No weapon formed against me shall prosper.
He is my hiding place. My shield. My covering.

Scripture:

“No weapon formed against you shall prosper…”
— Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV)

Affirmation:

I am covered, guarded, and shielded by God.
His protection goes before me and surrounds me always.

I give thanks for all He has done…
For what He is doing now…
And for what will be done in Jesus’ name
