When You Stand, You Win 6/7: Self Care Saturday: The City Never Sleeps, But Maybe You Should
Manage episode 477816763 series 3638359
In this Self Care Saturday episode, Dr. Derek Suite explores how standing still can be our strongest position in a world that never stops moving.
Taking a stand for stillness is a revolutionary act of self-care that honors your body, mind, and spirit while activating your parasympathetic nervous system for healing and restoration.
KEY SUITE SPOTS
• Standing takes many forms: standing on your focus, in your faith, or your ground when life tries to bully you
• When life pushes, your purpose must stand up; when pressure rises, your character must hold its ground
• Stillness is a powerful stand—a refusal to rush and resistance to burnout culture
• Moving when you're ready, not when pressured, gives you back control
• Self-care isn't selfish but a strong strategy for longevity
• The parasympathetic nervous system (your body's rest mode) is activated during stillness
• When you're still, you tell your brain, "I'm worth protecting, resting, and caring for"
• Saying no to some things means saying yes to yourself
• Try sitting in silence for 10-15 minutes to hear your body speaking
• "Standing still is still standing"—and when you stand, you win
