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!

Date Night! 🥂 🤎🌹 In a marriage, date nig Date Night! 🥂 🤎🌹

In a marriage, date nights are a necessity. It doesn’t have to be grand either. I definitely is a form of non-physical intimacy. Hubby and I do this twice a month at least. Here’s where we we went:

@tatianabychefkwame - y’all, I was so happy and grateful that hubby and I ate here. I was so afraid that we wouldn’t get a seat because they are booked out and we were running late. I was two seconds from saying forget it, but Jose said “nope, we’re trying. I prayed.” We got a seat and everything was a 10/10 from the service to the music and the food. I want to book a reservation ASAP.

@citywinerynyc - I’m a sucker for live music and a concert. That’s how we bonded in our beginning stages. I heard @officialjonb was performing, so I had to go. I love me some 90’s R&B y’all!

We had a blast! This night just went so smoothly. If you’re in a relationship/married, how often do you date each other?

💫 It’s mattifying without being drying. Who likes thief face to feel super thick? I know I don’t.
💫 It’s long lasting. It keep your makeup in place for a long time. When you first apply, it it amazing at being transfer proof.
💫 It goes on super light and doesn’t ruin product placement. I love that!

French, but let’s make it abstract.
First, if you know me you know I love Jhene. W.A.Y First, if you know me you know I love Jhene. W.A.Y.S is my song!!!

If I would say I never think about giving up I’d be lying 😂. Life be life’ing. Thankfully, every morning you have a chance to restart and to commit to the habits that will propel you forward. 

Here are somethings that keep me grounded:

-A routine- I like structure and routine. It’s funny because my husband is the total opposite 😂. God knows I needed someone that is more spontaneous. It’s needed. A routine, but flexibility is always needed.
-My Faith- my life is a whole testimony and as long as I have breath I know it’s because of God. 
-My Skincare- Your canvas is so important, so make sure you prioritize making sure your skin is taken care of. We love a beat face over here though. 
-Feeding my Mind- Reading has been big for me this year and I’ll some books have really been transformative. I’ll share more about my recommendations in another reel.
-My Health- Health is wealth. So make sure to take gave a good balance. Prioritize it.
P.S

I’m changing my content. I’m not a celebrity, nor do I desire fame. I’m a normal person. Everything isn’t perfect, grand or spectacular. I’m okay with that too.
