Dear Wanda, Dr. Cheryl Townsley's live webinar yesterday was dripping with practical truth and wisdom from Heaven surrounding our emotions, bodies, brains, and more. During this powerful message, Cheryl unpacked what messy emotions are, how the past 3 years have only accelerated the mess, and baby steps to breaking free of any cycles you may find yourself in today. She even walked us through 3 easy interrupts to try whenever you are stuck in a messy emotion and need some relief or help getting unstuck. Beyond the message itself, there was a thick atmosphere of tangible peace that accompanied every word flowing from Cheryl's mouth. It was truly remarkable, and incredibly refreshing. If you missed the live broadcast (or would like to revisit the material to glean even more wisdom), definitely set aside time to watch the free replay. Here are a few highlights from Dr. Cheryl Townsley's teaching: - The challenges we face (overwhelm, criticism, exhaustion, decision overload, anxiety & depression, loneliness, anger, pain, etc) are only the tip of the iceberg.
- These messy emotions impact our health, relationships, calling, job, ministry, family, and more.
- It's not just about identifying messy emotions — it's about the BEYOND.
- Our prayers matter; our time in the Word matters, but if we don't understand our bodies and emotions, we will misuse them.
- There is great purpose for your emotions. Once you understand the purpose, God's master blueprint comes.
- Your body was designed by God to give you information.
- If you don't understand your body, you'll never understand God's Body.
- God is the Source; you are a resource He can flow through!
- Messy emotions reflect something — they reflect a disconnect from our God-given strengths and calling. This makes us vulnerable to attacks of the enemy.
- There is pressure all around you. When the pressure mounts, it's easy to check out, to settle for barely surviving...but that is suicide on the long payment plan.
- Emotions are an in-the-moment indicator of how connected we are, or are not, to our strengths and to God. They are REAL, but they are NOT the TRUTH!
- Emotions are open doors, opportunities to help maximize our biochemistry to give sustainability in our calling. God gave you a brain and a body that you can use to maximize the gifts He's put inside of you.
- Messy emotions are NOT a life sentence: they are opportunities for growth in our callings and giftings.
- You do not have to stay in the mess — there is HOPE for you!
- Emotions aren't automatic — they are learned.
- Emotions can loop into automatic, destructive patterns and they do drive most health issues, but they can be both interrupted and reversed.
- You can choose to allow God to take all the broken, shattered pieces of your life and work them out in a brilliant and unique way. That's our God.
- Emotions can get messed up by: birth family & environment, experiences, looping on childhood and adult traumas, and more.
- Physical manifestations of messy emotions include: weight gain, insomnia, inflammation and pain, gut issues, hormonal imbalances, short fuses, increase in divorce, layoffs, and more, increase in anti-depressants, loss of purpose, and hopelessness.
- Learning to work with your God-given biochemistry is a KEY to moving beyond messy emotions — unlocking health, wholeness, and freedom.
- Noticing without judging releases dopamine and amplifies memory. Hugs and relationships release oxytocin to build trust, burn fat, and inhibit fear.
- SEEK GOD FIRST.
- God gives us the desires of our hearts (as we guard our hearts). He didn't put goals in our hearts, He put DESIRES.
- Baby steps WORK. As babies, we learn more in the first 2 years than we do the rest of our lives. Taking baby steps doesn't make you dumb or mean it's going to take forever — it's actually the most expedited way to learn and grow (in the way that God designed!).
My desire is for everyone to receive from the rich well of Cheryl's personal journey with her own emotions, body, and the Lord. I believe the message she is carrying will touch your life in a profound way.
If you are ready to receive a fresh dose of God's perfect peace and gain simple, practical tools to turn your life around, I strongly encourage you to watch the replay of "Beyond Messy Emotions: Restoring God's Blueprint for Your Emotions" today. | |
