Finding Peace & Strength: The Sacred Space of Rest
Published 2 days ago • 4 min read
Hello Reader,
What if the most productive thing you could do for your brain health, especially when battling anxiety or depression, was to simply stop doing? In a world that constantly pushes for more, it has never been more essential for us to find rest. In our featured article, "The Sacred Space of Rest: Cultivating Self-Compassion Amidst Brain Health Challenges," we explore the radical, often overlooked power of rest and self-compassion – not as signs of weakness, but as divine necessities for sustainable well-being and a renewed spirit.
The Sacred Space of Rest: Cultivating Self-Compassion Amidst Brain Health Challenges
In our quest to better understand Overflow, we have laid the foundation, navigated the complex terrain of brain health with faith, discovered the power of community, and begun the vital work of renewing our minds. As we explore practical ways to live in overflow, we encounter two deeply connected concepts that are often overlooked in our achievement-driven world but are essential for sustainable well-being, especially when facing brain health challenges: rest and self-compassion.
Tell me if you can relate. When your life gets busy, and it seems you have more to do than time to do it, what is the first thing you neglect? Do you suddenly stop scrolling social media? Do you skip watching your favorite TV show or eliminate a meal? No.

Renewing Your Mind: Practical Strategies for Cultivating a Life of Overflow
Have you ever felt like your thoughts were a battlefield, especially when facing the complexities of brain health challenges? In a world that often struggles to understand, and even within ourselves, our minds can feel particularly vulnerable, tangled with overwhelming emotions or a faith that seems just out of reach. Yet, it is precisely in these moments of fragility that God offers not only comfort but a powerful, transformative blueprint for our inner lives: “Do not conform to the pattern of thisworld, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be ableto test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will”(Romans 12:2, NIV).
This isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a pathway to transformation. Understanding the deep connection between our thoughts, emotions, and faith is crucial, especially when our brain health presents unique hurdles. This “renewing” is not about a quick fix, but an ongoing, Spirit-led process that opens us to the fullness of God’s peace.
While Overflow cares deeply about the community, we cannot respond to emergencies. If you need help with mental health challenges, please find a qualified mental health professional.
