Let's Breathe Florida

Hey, Florida.

Let’s all take a collective sigh and breathe deeply together. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been through a lot—more than we may have realized in the rush of it all. If you’re feeling sad, disconnected, overwhelmed, or anxious, know you’re not alone. It’s okay to feel that way.

It’s important to take time to process those emotions instead of diving straight back into "business as usual." Ignoring these feelings doesn’t make them disappear; they can manifest in other areas of your life, often when you least expect it.

Acknowledging and experiencing your true emotions is not a sign of weakness or a lack of faith. It’s simply part of being human. We are all on a journey that involves embracing the full range of our emotions.

So, permit yourself to feel, to pause, and to reflect. But don't stop there—take the time to process and work through those emotions. Healing begins when we face what’s going on inside us.

In moments like these, self-care is essential. After a stressful event, taking time to rest and care for your spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional well-being is crucial to your overall health and recovery.

So, please take the time to figure out what self-care looks like for you and give yourself full permission to indulge in it guilt-free. Whether taking a quiet walk, reading a book, spending time in prayer, or simply resting without feeling the need to be productive, your self-care is unique to you. It’s not selfish; it’s necessary for your well-being.

Prioritizing your own needs allows you to show up more fully in all areas of your life, including for others. Embrace this time of restoration without guilt—it’s essential to healing, growth, and finding balance again. Remember, replenishing yourself allows you to move forward with more strength and clarity.

If you are in a place of peace, joy, or hope, I encourage you to share that light with those around you. We are, after all, stronger together. In times like these, a healthy, supportive community can be incredibly beneficial, offering comfort and mutual healing.

Let’s continue to uplift one another and build safe spaces where everyone feels loved and supported.

God bless you all. Stay strong, stay connected, and remember—healing comes in waves, as does strength and resilience. God got us!

With love and prayers, 

Waydia🙏💕
