Laughter is the medicine that heals difficulties, so I incorporate some enjoyment into each day.

I make my job fun by listening to music that makes me feel like dancing. Although I sit in an office chair for most of the day, I rock from side to side. Moving to music keeps me feeling upbeat, and the challenges at work feel less burdensome.

I get creative with my entertainment.

Having game nights at my home invites laughter and joy to my sanctuary. My family and I love playing board games at home on a Friday night. These small experiences together last a lifetime in my memory and keep my spirit alive.

It is enjoyable to dance around when I am home alone. When I play my favorite Christian music, I feel like I am in my little world.

Working out is also fun because it improves my mood tremendously. I choose exercises that are challenging but manageable. It feels good to achieve the fitness targets that I set for myself.

A fit body makes room for me to accomplish a lo...

Anything women believe and think will project how we live our lives. Too many women do not consider this. They often attribute their hardships to chance or fate. Although there are some elements of this within our lives, how we think can change our future.

If you are a negative thinking woman, you will not see answers even when they exist.

You will beat down any notion that comes your way, thinking it is not possible. On the other hand, every idea can become an answer when you maintain a positive outlook. You will find the path much faster than when you do not acknowledge any ideas.

These consequences of positive and negative thinking play out for women repeatedly. Positive women advance where negative women stay stuck in place or, even worse, fall behind.

You will assemble with folks who share a similar mental mindset.

• Negativity will draw negative thinkers, and positivity will attract positive thinkers. If you get a group of positive thinkers together, who are all open

This crisis is a powerful reminder of how important freedom is - and how much we need human connection!

There is something wonderful about new opportunities that stirs excitement in my soul. Adventures awaken my spirit and allow me to have an open mind to newness.

I love being able to explore the world. New places challenge my sense of adventure and teach me how to soak up the unfamiliar humbly. I feel alive when faced with a new language to learn or a new culture to respect.

I travel to have adventures, gain new knowledge, and make new friends.

There is little room for fear when I board a plane to a foreign country. I proceed with a brave heart and a peaceful soul because I believe that my steps are guided.

Sure, I get butterflies in my stomach when I try something for the first time. There is a mix of anxiety and excitement that comes with discoveries. But my sense of adventure wins out over fear every time.

Working from home on the sofa while your family goes about their day around you makes anyone feel the strain. Women must do whatever they can to find a unique home office space that sets the tone for a positive, productive workday. 

No matter how planned your day may be, unexpected problems will always pop up in life. It would be best to prepare for occasionally going off course and learn how to adapt and overcome those bumps in the road. 

Working from home is not new. But as more businesses look towards making it an integral part of how they operate, work as we know it looks set for significant changes. When you prioritize your work life, there are sacrifices that you will have to make.

If you have a big project about to be released and technical issues and glitches pop up, you may have to cancel plans in your personal life to show up and fix the problems in your work life.

When you prioritize your home life, you will have to accept that you cannot always be as success...

What comes to your brain if someone says you should try something new? Are you excited to jump in and try it? Or are you terrified of possible adverse outcomes? See, most women get scared away by the thought of trying something they have never tried before. And that is okay.

The next time you get nervous about experimenting with something new, come back to your “why” and remind yourself of these positive outcomes.

1.  You Will Learn What You Are Capable of

How do you know if you do not try? As soon as you start mixing it up and trying new things, you will unveil things about yourself that you never knew before. You may have a hidden talent or a personal interest that grows into something big.

2.  Humility is an Added Bonus

When you try something, and you fall on your face. The bright side is that you earn a sense of humility.

3.  Capitalize on the Successes

Creating your next opportunity makes it that much more satisfying when you hit the jackpot. Yes, it takes a...

Health touches every aspect of our lives—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. As Christians, our understanding of health is deeply rooted in our relationship with God and the teachings of the Bible. The Bible offers valuable insights into how we should care for our bodies and souls, reminding us that true health encompasses more than just physical well-being; it is about living in harmony with God’s design.

Our Bodies as Temples of the Holy Spirit

One of the Bible's most profound teachings on health is the idea that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, the Apostle Paul writes, "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

This passage serves as a profound reminder that our bodies are not our own; they are sacred temples of the Holy Spirit, belonging to Go...

To fully recognize and analyze situations, I need to remain calm and gather my stillness and quietness.

When life throws me trials along the way, I remain calm and enjoy the peace that is mine. Using specific tools that help me be calm allows me to let go of the necessity to panic or fall apart in challenging situations. Calm is something I can choose to be. I am strong enough to build up my stores of serenity for surprises.

I have a special reservoir within me. I either choose to fill this tank and keep it filled or to let it become empty. This special reservoir is my serenity tank. When it is full, I enjoy calmness in all situations. I can draw from my serenity tank when I need it.

I fill my tank with positive energy from maintaining a healthy body and mind, daily relaxation, and meditating on God’s word.

When I forget my physical and emotional needs, let negative energy into my life, or become over-stressed, I drain my serenity tank.

Today, I will add to my serenity tank for fu...
