Battle For Your Mind
We’ve all heard the phrase, “Get out of your head!” Sometimes we hear it uttered to athletes or artists when they can’t seem to perform as their record shows they can. Other times, we may hear someone say it in conversation as they try to get the other person to pull themselves out of a negative thought spiral. No one journeying through this life is immune from that negative thought spiral, studies have shown that we are hardwired for negative thoughts. We have to actively work toward pulling ourselves out of that spiral and focus on positivity.

More times than not, church culture gets a bad reputation when it comes to the subject of mental health. Too many people have gotten churchy responses, like “just pray more,” when they express the different ways they are struggling or coping with the struggles they have encountered through their life. In honor of Mental Health Awareness month, we are diving into this subject and how our faith can partner with other tools to help us all have better coping skills and work on our mental health while working on our spiritual health - because both are a life-long journey!
