Importance of Rest- Emotional, Spiritual and Physical Rest

Hey girl, hey!

So lately, I’ve been extremely focused on rest! Honestly, being in a world that admires hustling to the point of no rest is glorified. I can admit that as a blogger my flesh and my spirit wrestles from time to time when it comes to rest. My flesh says “work hard, you’re exhausted, but work harder!” and my spirit says “God already says it’s done. Do your part and let God do the rest“. You know, it’s all about balance and knowing that you have a part to play, but God really controls the outcome. I’m learning that when I let the thoughts of other individuals occupy my mind more than God, I will always wrestle. Today I wanted to share the importance of rest, not only physical rest, but emotional and spiritual rest. All aspects are important being that we are emotional, spiritual and physical beings. God understands all parts, therefore we need to tend to all!

Emotional Rest

As humans, we are emotional beings. Emotions are what drives us, inform us and causes us to make decisions consiciously or unconsiously. They are indicators and God totally understands that part of us. Although we are not supposed to be led by our emotions as believers, God promises that he will carry the burden of what we are feeling (Matthew 11:28-30). I know it sounds cliche, but whatever I’m feeling may not be valid. Getting in His presence gives room to lay everything down to get clarity and emotional rest. Emotions are strong and sometimes they can lead us to be extremely down and unproductive. Tough emotions like bitterness, anxiousness, worry and fear can consume us which in turn can affect how we show up in the world. Remember to keep it real in your prayers, God hears you and understands your emotions.

Spiritual Rest

Everyday we are facing the reality of this world, but there’s also a spiritual reality if you believe in God. I wouldn’t call it toxic positivity because I believe in feeling what you feel, but there’s a peace that God gives when we lean on Him. It isn’t covering up problems with scriptures as spiritual bandaids. It’s leaning into the invisible reality and realizing that God is sovereign. It’s trusting, yielding and knowing that being led by the spirit is the way to get peace. It’s not easy because we usually are led by what we see, but isn’t God sovereign and all knowing? Ask God to be sensitive to His spirit. If you haven’t done a study on the holy spirit, I encourage you to do so. Spiritual rest isn’t fictional or unattainable. It’s very attainable.

Physical Rest

Physical rest allows us to show up daily within our calling, effectively. In Mark 6:31, we see the importance of rest for the disciples and Jesus himself. Rest is basically renewal for all parts of our body. If we get the physical rest, we are then able to walk in our calling with a fresh mind and healthy body. Although the world may say “nobody cares, work harder“, God wants you to be effective for his kingdom. That means, rest. It’s so important!

Until next time y’all <3

Later!

FEATURED VIDEO

Yesterday’s sermon touched me. The words “you Yesterday’s sermon touched me. The words “you don’t need a plan b for your faith” convicted me to the core. We all heard the verse “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. The person that I am is someone very controlling who needs to know everything. Uncertainty gives me anxiety. That is just an indication of my faith not being where it needs to be. My faith is constantly tested and I can tell it’s in need of some strengthening. I constantly have to check myself on if I have more faith in myself, my plans, solely my works, and my spiritual health rather than God. 

If that’s you, let’s make May a month of strengthening our faith. Faith isn’t uncertainty, it’s certain. It’s believing in who He is and believe that He is who he says He is. It doesn’t have to make sense and you don’t have to see it happen to believe it will. No plans necessary, according to your faith… YOUR FAITH be it unto you. 

PERIODT, happy May.
Vegas Photo Dump Vegas was meh. I think that we w Vegas Photo Dump

Vegas was meh. I think that we would’ve had way more fun during the weekend vs. the weekdays so we gotta go back. No beach clubs were open and no performances 😩. That’s definitely more my speed. The weather wasn’t great either, but had to quickly remember that we needed this quality time. Hubby and I just moved, so sometimes you can operate more as business partners in marriage because you’re on go mode. Grateful to have spent some time away and together. 🤎

Happy New Year! 🎊🎆 We all know that 2021 wa Happy New Year! 🎊🎆 
We all know that 2021 was crazy, but there’s always something to be grateful for.

-Starting therapy. Therapy is one of the best investments that I made this year. My therapist has and still is helping me in so many ways- as a wife, individually and professionally. Looking forward to more growth and healing.

-Celebrating myself- I had my first birthday party as an adult. I usually celebrate, but I don’t really like the whole “throw a party” thing. The attention gives me anxiety 😝. I did it and my friends and I had a blast.

-Letting go of limitations- There is nothing you can’t learn. Reading more and learning new things is something you can control. “There’s truly no amount of good vibes to come and save you. You gotta make the right choices”. Being apologetic about letting go of limits and making the right choices to help me spiritually, financially, mentally and physically. This will for sure continue this year!!!

Good health, joy and happiness to you all in this new year! 🎊

Girl, it’s Sunday and you know I’m trying to get my life before the week starts 😆. That also means physically, spiritually and mentally. Here’s a reminder as we go into the work week.

Intrusive thoughts aren’t the ultimate truth 💭. 

So before you work yourself up over something that isn’t your reality:
1. Stop, pause
2. Ask, is this the truth? Do I have any evidence of this?
3. Speak over yourself. Affirm the ultimate truth.
