We are living in a time where it is very easy to feel anxious and worried. Even if we have faith and trust in God, it is very easy to feel anxious and nervous about what is going on in the world right now. It is helpful to acknowledge how you are truly feeling. It is good to acknowledge it to yourself and also to God. God wants you to go to Him and give Him your pain and worries. As you do this, it is also important that you implement positive self-care and coping skills. Tell yourself every day that you are going to be okay. Talk to yourself positively first thing in the morning. Then pick out something new that you can start to integrate into your daily schedule that would help you feel better. Choose something that can increase your immune system and health. Then pick out something that can feed your soul. Next, decide how you’re going to integrate these new habits into your daily life.
