V2 Family… let’s talk about the squat.

Don’t let your body get used to doing the same squat every single time.
Your lower body is made up of layers of muscles—glutes, quads, hamstrings, adductors, abductors—and each one responds differently based on your stance, foot angle, and depth.

Some days you need power.
Some days you need stability.
Some days you need to wake up the muscles you’ve been ignoring.

Change the stance → Change the stimulus → Change the results.

💥 Wide stance: Glutes & inner thighs.
💥 Narrow stance: Quads on fire.
💥 Sumo: Adductors + deep glute activation.
💥 Heels elevated: Quad isolation, knee stability.
💥 Toes forward vs toes out: Changes which part of the glutes and quads take the load.
💥 Box squat: Strength, control, and safe depth work.
💥 Split squat/lunge variations: Single-leg strength & correcting imbalances.

When you switch it up, you become stronger, more balanced, and far less prone to injury.

So the next time you squat…
Pause. Reset. Choose your stance with intention.
Your body will thank you for training with purpose.

PERSEVERE… EVEN WHEN IT HURTS

Some days, the assignment feels heavier than the strength you think you have. The path gets crowded with “why is this happening?” and “Lord, I’m tired.” And if we’re honest… sometimes we want to tap out.
But hear me: keep going anyway.

Pressure isn’t always punishment — sometimes it’s proof that your next level is closer than you think. Growth doesn’t always feel good, but it always produces good. And every time you push through something that tried to stop you, you become a version of yourself you’ve never met before.

I’ve learned that perseverance isn’t loud. It’s not glamorous. It’s that quiet decision you make at 6 AM… or midnight… or in the middle of tears — “I’m not quitting. I’m still called. I’m still chosen. I’m still moving.”

If it’s hard right now, breathe.
If the weight feels like too much, pause — but don’t stop.
If your emotions are loud, anchor yourself in what God already promised.

You are not behind.
You are not forgotten.
You are becoming.

Keep taking the next right step.
The breakthrough always shows up where consistency meets faith.

You’ve got this. And God’s got you. ✨🔥

The Power of the Breath

In every moment, your breath is your anchor.
It’s the silent rhythm that keeps you alive — the gentle rise and fall that reminds you you’re still here, still capable, still evolving.

When life feels loud, return to your breath.
Inhale peace.
Exhale what no longer serves you.
This simple act restores balance, slows the rush, and reminds your body that it’s safe.

At JaaSpaa, we believe the breath is more than air — it’s life itself.
It’s where stillness begins, where clarity finds you, and where healing starts to flow again.

Take a moment today… close your eyes…
Breathe in deeply.
That’s life moving through you — sacred, powerful, and present.

Breathe. Be still. Begin again.

🌱 From Seed to Table: Honoring God’s Gift of Creation

By Journey4Health

There’s something sacred about placing your hands in the soil—the quiet reminder that God gave us the power to create, nurture, and bring forth life from the very ground He formed us from.

But the “seed” is not only what we plant in the earth. A seed can be a new idea, a business, a piece of art, or even a solution to a world problem. God designed creation to reflect His nature—and because we are made in His image, that same creative power rests in us. Every time we act on a seed of inspiration, we participate in His divine order of bringing something new into the world.

From the smallest seedling to the boldest vision, it’s always a partnership between heaven and earth—our care meeting His miracle. Whether tending a garden or nurturing a dream, the process is the same: we plant in faith, water with patience, and trust God for the increase.

Tending to what’s been placed in our hands becomes more than just work—it becomes worship. Each bloom, breakthrough, and idea is a reflection of His goodness and our stewardship. And when we finally see the fruit of that seed—whether it’s food for the body or hope for the soul—we’re reminded that nourishment isn’t just about what we eat; it’s about what we cultivate and share.

The journey from seed to table mirrors the journey of faith. We trust the unseen process, believing that with time, care, and divine guidance, what begins small can grow to feed nations, heal hearts, and inspire generations.

So as we create from the seeds of the earth—and the seeds within—may we remember that we are called to cultivate peace, wellness, and purpose in every area of life.

Because from the soil to the soul—everything begins with a seed. 🌾

Evening wind-down 🌙✨
There’s something special about the shift into night… when cortisol levels gently fall and melatonin begins to rise, the body whispers, “It’s time to rest.”

Tonight, I’m honoring that rhythm with softness—no rush, no demands. Just a quiet “off” evening, a soft bowl of fruit, and the gift of slowing down. 🍇🍓🍑

This is the sacred space where the nervous system resets, where the mind finds stillness, and where tomorrow’s energy is born.

Here’s to choosing peace, one gentle breath and one sweet bite at a time. 💫

Reposted .coston Jesus died at 33. The human spine has 33 vertebrae. The same structure that holds us upright is the same number of years Jesus walked this Earth.

We have 12 ribs on each side—just like the 12 disciples and the 12 tribes of Israel.

The vagus nerve runs from your brain to your heart and gut, calming the storms inside your body, just like Jesus calmed the storm—and guess what it looks like?

Laminin, the protein that literally holds your cells together, is in the shape of a cross under a microscope. The very structure holding you together is a cross.

Jesus rose on the third day. Science tells us that when you fast for 3 days, your body begins to regenerate! Old cells die, new ones are born, and healing begins. Your body literally experiences a form of resurrection in 3 days, just like Jesus resurrected in 3 days. That’s not coincidence—that’s the signature of an artist on His artwork.

It keeps going.
Your heart beats with God’s rhythm.
Your brain lights up when you pray.
Your bones store memory.
Your tears change chemistry depending on joy or grief, and the Bible tells us the Lord holds our tears in a jar.

Your body worships God, whether you realize it or not.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made by an artist who left his signature on His greatest artwork—you.

And here’s the wonder: Jesus didn’t just create you—He wrote Himself into your very DNA. He formed you with intention and breathed life into you because He wants more than for you to simply exist—He wants to have a personal relationship with you. The Creator who holds galaxies together also holds you together. And He wants to make his home inside your heart. He wants to be a part of your life. You were created to have a relationship with the God who created you.

If you’ve never invited Jesus into your life, it’s the best decision you will ever make. Pray with me… Dear Jesus, come into my life. I’m so sorry for living a life of sin that separated me from you. Forgive me. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. I surrender my life. Amen!
