Have you ever noticed that truly unshakable people rarely rush?

They move with a certain rhythm—an internal cadence untouched by the world’s constant demands for more, faster, now.

In this soul-nourishing Self-Care Saturday episode, Dr. Derek Suite explores a counterintuitive truth: real strength doesn't come from constant motion—but from knowing when to be rooted in stillness.

"You can't be unshakable if you've never let yourself be still," Dr. Suite shares, inviting us to redefine resilience in a culture that glorifies busyness.

Nature teaches us if we listen: oceans don’t force their waves, mango trees don’t bloom out of season, and even the sun rises and sets right on time—never rushed, never late.

These aren’t signs of weakness, but reminders of sustainable power.

Drawing from his Caribbean roots in Trinidad and Tobago, Dr. Suite shares how “slowing the day” isn't laziness—it's a form of sacred restoration.

Self-care emerges not as indulgence, but as a deep act of respect—for your body, your boundaries, and your birthright to rest. When you pause, you're not falling behind—you’re moving forward in a deeper direction.

As Dr. Suite reminds us:
"If God can rest after creating the universe—not from fatigue, but because rest is part of the system—then surely we can too."

So ask yourself:
What part of you needs sunlight after too long in shadow?
What would it mean to step back—not in retreat, but in renewal?

Join Dr. Suite for this meditation on finding strength through stillness, and tune in tomorrow for Slow Down Sunday, where we’ll explore the sacred space between the stars.

🌱 And remember: Sometimes, planting peas in Tobago isn't defeat—
it’s the boldest act of self-care, soul-care, and cultural wisdom there is.
