Self Care Friday – Walking it Out
July 4, 2025
Sometimes, the most powerful form of self-care is the simpliest walking.
Taking a few steps outside can be the reset your mind and body has been craving. Walking isn’t just a physical movement – it’s a moving meditation. You ground yourself with every step, release tension and make space for peace.
Last afternoon I took a quiet walking enjoying the Lake and greenery around me. It was really a refreshing moment for me. I needed the rest from the hub of life. Just me, God’s creation and a few deep breaths. 🎉
Do you know that walking reduces cortisol(the stress hormone) . This has been supported by science. So get moving today. Whether it’s a slow stroll in the park or a quick lap around the block , your body and mind will thank you for it.
Take a break 🚶♀️
- Step outside
- Move gently
- Let your stress melt away with each step or Jog
- Peace doesn’t always come from stillness. Sometimes it comes from movement. That is one of my reason for going to the gym also ..just for the break and mental clarity.
- Make walking a part of your self care routine- I am beginning to do that even more and watch your spirit and body responds.

Journaling for Calm Finding Peace in the Pages
July 9, 2025
Wellness Wednesday | The Purpose Suite by J. Marie
In the middle of our busy, noise-filled days, calm often feels out of reach. But what if peace wasn’t something we had to chase—but something we could write our way into?
Journaling has long been a powerful self-care practice—an intentional pause that allows us to breathe, reflect, and reconnect. When life gets overwhelming, putting pen to paper can help us process emotions, track patterns, and create space for clarity. Whenever I do, there is a lift of a burden and know that I now have control over the next steps.
Whether you’re battling anxious thoughts, navigating major life changes, or simply needing to declutter your mind, journaling offers more than just an outlet—it offers restoration.
Why Journaling Supports Calm:
- ✍🏽 Emotional release: You give your thoughts and worries a safe place to land.
- 🧠 Mental clarity: By organizing your thoughts on paper, you reduce mental clutter.
- 🙏🏽 Spiritual reset: Journaling can become a time of prayer, reflection, or gratitude.
- 💗 Self-connection: You tune into your true self beyond the noise and demands.
Simple Ways to Start:
- Try a “brain dump” at the end of the day.
- Write one thing you’re grateful for each morning.
- Respond to calming prompts like:
“What do I need more of in my life right now?”
“How can I show up for myself today?”
