As many of you have a day off today, maybe this will be a good reminder.

Rest comes in many forms! You do NOT have to be sleeping or vegging on a couch to get rest. In fact, if you are sleeping well at night, this might not be your most effective type of rest!

A good nights sleep is important for physical, mental, and emotional health! But many do not give ourselves rest in other areas of life! There are actaully 7 types of rest that you can intentionally engage in that can shift our mood and help us cope with our mental health struggles.

Cleaning, organiziing, being outside, gardening, turning off screens, spending time with being you love, and exercise can all be considered REST!

As you plan your activities today, how are you going to find rest??

Do you realize how much time we spend trying to control things that are completely out of our control?? The definition of this condition: Anxiety. What if we spent more time controlling those things that we can and agreed to give God the rest? The things we can control actually get very little of our attention. Our thought life is a mess, our words are hurtful, and our reactions show our heart. Take time today.....start with your thoughts. Practice gratitude, fill your mind with the things of God, spend time in prayer, and choose wisely what you allow in your heart and mind....control those things, and see if your attitude towards the things on the outside of your circle don't change. You don't have to control everything, just what God has given us, then trust him for the rest!

Lessons from January.

January doesn’t ask you to rush.
It doesn’t demand answers or big decisions right away.
It gives you space to breathe, reset, and take things as they come.

Be kind to who you are becoming. Growth isn’t always obvious, it often shows up in small moments, in steady effort, in choices no one else sees. Even the coldest days hold small joys if you pause long enough to notice them.
A warm drink.
A deep breath.
A moment that reminds you you’re still here, still moving forward.

If your energy feels low, that doesn’t mean you’re behind. Rest is part of the cycle, not a failure.
So is patience.
So is allowing yourself to move at a pace that feels sustainable.

Not everything needs a decision right now.
Some things become clear with time, and that’s enough for today.
Each day is a fresh start to learn, to grow, and to treat yourself with more understanding than before.

As this new month unfolds, let go of what feels heavy. You don’t have to carry last year with you.
You’re allowed to begin again, in your own way.

Save this for later ❤️

Scripture Writing is an incredible practice that helps you hide God's word in your heart but also focus on topics you may need. Here is a great one for the new year.

Simply, take 5 minutes per day. Look up the verse(s) for the day and write them word for word in your journal. If you want to take it a step farther, write a prayer using the verse or use the SOAP method (S-Write the Scripture O-What did you observe A-What can you apply? P-Prayer)

Create some new habits this year! This is a great one to try!
