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
