 Lately, my thoughts have been all over the place with just life.

 And contradictory to a lot of people Christians have tough days just like everyone else.

15 Simple Self Care Ideas For Tough Days

 

1.Schedule alone uninterrupted time with God and pour out your heart. Tell him what’s bothering you, what’s making you overwhelmed or stressed? After you speak, sit and allow God to speak!

2. Journal: Whenever I am having a tough day, I always journal, whether in my notes in my phone or an actual journal. I journal everything.

When journaling sits with your feet on the floor, listen to background noise, and write. This helps you to relax. Always try to loosen up your shoulders and breathe while you’re writing.⠀

3. Mediate Upon God  Jesus, I ask for your peace,” “ Jesus, lead me beside quiet streams of water and restore my soul.” ⠀

4. Rest & Unplug: I love taking naps! Sleeping does wonders! haha.

Pull away from social media and the chaos of the world and just unplug and love on yourself.
