Self-care During Stressful Times

Two-way journaling – you have to make time for it. 📔
Worship – play worship music and sing with it – out loud! 🎶
Make decrees of victory – you have authority by the Name and the Blood of Jesus. ✝️
Take a soaking bath. At least add baking soda to the water. If you can, add Dr. Teal’s Epsom salts or an essential oil. 🛀
Pray in faith. Pray with your husband if he’s a believer. Pray with a partner. 🙏
Ask others to pray for you. Share whatever details you’re comfortable with. 🤲
Listen to encouraging teaching and preaching from pastors and teachers you trust. Graham Cooke does a great job of this. You can find him on YouTube. Here’s a good message from him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHob8vPAGVI
Get a massage or get someone to rub or scratch your back. 💆🏻
Watch a fun feel-good movie or TV show. Or an inspirational movie. 🍿
Make time for a hobby that you love. 🎨🏊🏻‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🎭
Stay away from anything or anyone that tears down your faith. Protect your faith at all costs. 🛡️
Take negative, fearful thoughts captive. Replace them with the truth that your all-powerful Father loves you, takes care of you, and has it all in His hands. ⚔️
Ask the Lord to send you a mentor. An older woman, or at least someone who has been a Christian longer than you and has matured well in the Lord. 👵
