Feeling stressed

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.
