Coffee Hour (title is work in progress, suggestions are welcome): Wednesday at 1.30pm Central Morning and Evening Evergreen posts: daily Gratitude Art Journaling Sessions: is there interest for Live 30 minutes sessions? Let me know what you need help with this week and we'll focus on that during our Healing Connection at the Coffee Hour. Feel free to DM me if you don't feel comfortable commenting below. Here are some suggestions: ☐ Anxiety ☐ Feeling worried or fearful ☐ Overactive brain; won’t shut off ☐ Panic attacks ☐ Stress, tension, tightness, or stiffness in muscles ☐ Feeling stressed and burned-out ☐ Obsessive thoughts or behaviors ☐ Control issues ☐ Negativity or depression ☐ Addiction tendencies (food, alcohol, drugs, sex, sugar, cigarettes, coffee, etc.) ☐ Low self-esteem and poor self-confidence ☐ Poor emotional regulation (0-100 without much cause) ☐ Hyperactivity; can’t focus ☐ Anger or rage, agitated easily or irritated ☐ Digestive issues ☐ Insomnia or disturbed sleep ☐ Lack of energy ☐ Other

I would love for us all to have some special time together, like a weekly Tea/Coffee/Glory Connection as it seems Morning Glory at 8.30am Central doesn't seem to work. Thoughts?

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.
