In this episode of Healthy and Redeemed, we dive into the essential foundation for stable emotional and mental health. I focus on three parts of that foundation—sleep, exercise, and nutrition— emphasizing how each area uniquely contributes to emotional resilience, helping us face daily challenges with greater stability.
Special focus is given to the importance of sleep, an area often overlooked but deeply influential in healing, memory, and emotional regulation. I explain the benefits of quality sleep, from brain detoxification to mood regulation, and highlight how REM sleep supports the recovery from trauma.
Whether you’re struggling mood swings or just want to stabilize your emotions, I hope to offer insights and actionable advice that you can use.
Don’t miss this episode as we uncover why these daily habits are crucial and how small changes can make a powerful difference in our emotional health journey.
