The Lord has been telling me to slow down. I have been telling Him I'm bored and asking Him to show what the next thing is I am to learn. So, He grounded me. I took a wrong step going downstairs and hurt my ankle. Again. Lol. It's not too bad, but bad enough to stay on the couch and reflect. I'm grateful He's teaching me on my day off and I don't really have to be anywhere. If you feel called to, pray for fast recovery :) P.s. it's snowing this morning and the view out the window is so beautiful.

May your day be filled with joy, your table with your favorite people, and your plates with your favorite food!

If you’ve ever felt lost or unheard in a relationship, you’ve probably seen the advice: do the "180 Method." It sounds empowering, right? Cut contact, go "cool," and focus on yourself until the other person realizes what they've lost. But let’s be honest about what really happens inside when you try to follow that rule: The Hidden Cost of the 180 Method The 180 is a tactic, not a healing practice. It forces a disconnect that is deeply painful, and it ultimately hurts you more than anyone else. 1. It Creates Emotional Suppression: You're asked to be "cool" when you’re deeply hurting. This means locking genuine grief, anger, and longing inside. That emotional suppression lodges itself directly in your body, creating more stress and trauma in your nervous system. 2. It Trades Safety for Control: The goal of the 180 is control—to control the other person's reaction. You find temporary false safety in detachment, but you lose the real safety that comes from authentic spiritual connection and emotional integrity. 3. It Reinforces Isolation: The 180 tells you to handle it all alone. This goes against our created design for community and connection, hindering the true release your spirit needs. What to Do Instead: Turning to Faith-Based Somatic Guidance Instead of using exhausting tactics, we need to turn inward and upward. We need to focus on what brings true, sustainable peace—a Faith-Based Somatic Guidance. Our practice is about accessing the divine source of peace that your body was created for. We don't try to manipulate external relationships; we heal the internal relationship between your mind, body, and the Holy Spirit. The Three Steps of True Healing: When you feel stressed or isolated, here is what you can do instead of detaching: 1. Connect, Don't Cool: Instead of isolating, intentionally access the sacred container of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. This spiritual connection is your true anchor. 2. Somatic Release (Rest, Release, Reset): Use simple, guided practices (meditations, exercises) to help your physical body release the suppressed emotions that the 180 Method forced you to hold. We are focused on achieving a nervous system reset. 3. Trust Divine Guidance (Ruth's Example): Like Ruth who, despite immense loss, chose loyalty and spiritual trust over survival tactics (Ruth 1:16). She found wholeness and incredible provision because her inner state was grounded in faith, not fear.
