Feeling stressed
Are you feeling stressed out about what is going on this year, remember to breathe and say a prayer. Take a break, listen to music, talk to someone, exercise, eat healthy food, etc. The best advice we can give you is to get help if you need it, we are here for you.
Remember your purpose
When you are feeling stressed, remember your purpose. You are here for a reason and we have to get through trying times so we can grow in our walk. Talk to someone if you are feeling alone, you are never alone.
Serve others
A great way to reduce stress and to remember your purpose is to serve others. Find a way to serve. Help your parents, brothers, or sisters with anything, chores, laundry, cleaning, lawn care, babysitting, etc. Many times we feel better when we help others.
