SEPTEMBER 2022
Sometimes anxiety, stress, and depression are temporary, and we are able to overcome them. At other times, this isn’t the case, and we need help finding relief. If you fall into this category, I strongly encourage you to talk to your doctor or seek a counselor. You are worth the time and effort, and without your own mental health intact, life can become overwhelming. It can be difficult to know the joy the Lord wants us to feel, and caring for others becomes increasingly draining. Take the steps necessary to care for yourself.
I hope this list has sparked your imagination and you have begun thinking of steps to take towards better self-care. We cannot give water to others when our own buckets are empty, so I pray that you will begin refilling yours today. May you soon feel more energy, peace, and positivity, as well as a greater sense of resilience, as you continue answering the call to serve others.
