Becoming Her: Raw & Real

Do you want a life that is peaceful, productive, and full? Seems impossible in such a fast-paced society with crazy busy schedules. But, this season of Becoming Her we have learned that rest is not as fleeting as it seems. No matter how crazy your world!

Join us as we discuss the 7th and final type of rest from the book, Sacred Rest by Saundra Dalton-Smith. Finding rest in creation is possible, but we have to decide to slow down and be intentional about it. 

THIS IS OUR LAST EPISODE OF SEASON 2!! HOORAY!!

In an overstimulated, overproductive and overtired society, the one thing we need is rest. But how? How do we add yet another thing "to do" on our already excessive to-do list? Well, the good news is, it's SO much easier than you think.

What do you think of when you hear the term "social rest?" Solitude? Unplugging from social media? Eliminating the noise in your life? Whelp, it's none of those things. Not in this chapter anyway. 

The truth is,  we were not made to do life alone. God created us for connection and all of us have a deep longing to be seen. To be known. Social rest is when we find comfort in our relationships and social interactions. 

This week we are on PART TWO in our conversation, where we discuss the power of finding solace in one another.

Where is God when I hurt?
How can a loving God allow this?
Life’s trials can cause these questions to bubble up and pour out of our mouths. When life punches us in the gut we can be left with anger towards God, a lack of belief in God and feel disconnected with God.

On today's episode we will dive into some deep territory of pain, what is looks like to walk it out and how to find peace inside of yourself that offers a personal sanctuary in-spite of the chaos around us.

Just because it’s good, doesn’t mean it’s God. What are some of the signs that you may be suffering from emotional rest deficit? 

In part 2 of "Emotional Rest," we unpack further the decisions we make everyday that deplete our emotional energy. We go all the way back to Adam & Eve, where we see that our decisions can lead us to peace or to turmoil. When we make bad choices, we often hide, confusing it for safety or rest. 

Hiding drains and separates. Rest energized and rejoins.

Are your emotions depleted? Are you saying yes to everything? Where are you spending your emotional energy? 

Between what's going on in the world and what's going on in our own lives, we have SO much coming against us. 

In this first part of "Emotional Rest" we will talk about how to manage our "emotional bank account" and the importance of being vulnerable with boundaries. 

Our power as women is in our connection and unity! So we need to learn how to turn our emotional triggers and offenses into opportunities to be inspired, learn and grow. 

We need to choose to be inspired (not intimidated) by other women!

The New Year is often a time when many of us deep clean or declutter our homes. There is just something about clearing out our physical spaces that leads to a feeling of refreshing... a lightness. We love the peace that comes with a freshly organized space. 

Our minds are no different. When left unchecked, just like our physical spaces, our minds collect clutter. There is life changing power of tidying up our minds and it starts with identifying the thoughts and learning to let go our thoughts that are not producing positive effects. In todays world of information overload how do we learn to quiet our minds? How do we shut off the mental noise? 

Join us in a 2-part series on finding mental rest.
