"Resting is an act of war against survival mode. It is the ultimate way to honor your evolution."

What up doe, Honorees! Welcome back to The Grace Haven. Pull up with your coffee, your wine, or whatever you need today. I am keeping it simple with my coffee as we kick it like family and friends.

I’m M. Rochelle, and today we are talking about the "Rewind." As I have started this podcast journey, I’ve been reading clinical newsletters and blogs that have triggered memories I hadn't thought about in years.

I’m sharing a specific memory of carrying tension as an elementary school child. At the time, a doctor dismissed it as tension pain, but reading research has me wondering if that was the early start of a survival mode mindset. While my years in the healthcare field and repetitive motions at work certainly played a role in my nerve compression, I am looking at how internal tension could also be a factor. We are exploring the "Body Armor" we might be carrying and how that constant clenching could be putting pressure on our temples and our peace.

📍 IN THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:

The Body Armor Concept: How carrying internal tension might manifest as physical clenching and chronic discomfort over time.
Connecting the Dots: Why taking the time to rewind helped me make more sense of my current reality.
The Research Trigger: How reading clinical blogs and newsletters helped me recall childhood experiences that could be related to my present health challenge.
The Proactive Advocate: Why it is important to speak up with healthcare professionals.
The Garden Within: A recommendation to read Dr. Anita Phillips’ book along with me.
The Biblical Anchor: My insight of Psalms 46:10
Rest as Warfare: Why choosing to rest is a powerful way to honor your evolution and trust the Creator over the chaos.

⚓️ THE GRACE NOTE"Grace isn't just a safety net for our mistakes, it is the fuel for our growth. God isn't in a rush with you, so why are you in a rush with yourself? Real freedom is knowing when to finally Let Go and Let GOD."
