Accurate.

I know about feeling disconnected because I struggled with depression and anxiety and a ton of negative thoughts. It got so bad my wife was going to leave me. I asked her to stay and said I would try to change. She told me to get on medication and I said I wanted to see if I could do it naturally. I began taking walks of gratitude because I read you can’t be stressed and thankful at the same time. These walks changed my life and turned into walks of prayer. Looking back I realize my soul needed healing and as I connected with God and healed my soul, I rewired and healed my brain. For me, my kids, who struggled too, and all those I have helped over the years when they are suffering mentally they have no connection to God. The truth is we were created for connection when we are connected we feel whole, powerful, confident and courageous. When we feel disconnected we feel fearful, anxious, insecure, cluttered, depressed and chronically stressed. We overthink when we are disconnected. We have clarity when we are connected. So how do we connect? Meditation helps reduce clutter in our mind and allows for connection to happen. It helps but prayer and love are the most powerful ways to connect. Fear divides. Love unites. Positive thinking that neutralizes negative thinking also helps a lot. Here an acronym TUNE that helps a lot. T-Trust when you feel doubt. U-Unite with love. N-Neutralize the negative thinking by talking to yourself instead of listening to yourself. E-Elevate your mind with prayer.

Here is a Prayer framework that will help a lot. I’ve had many do this with incredible improvements in mental health. Most don’t know how to pray so they don’t. This is a good guide.

Yes ! Something to live by ! @JohnPThomasElem @CityYearColaSC help me spread it!
