WE’RE HERE TO HELP YOU

The Church’s role is to relieve suffering, reveal Christ, and restore lives.

We the body need to treat individuals with mental illness the same way we treat anyone with an illness. Offer a supportive care structure, help them spiritually, help them understand where God is in the situation, and help them connect more fully to God in their suffering.

Self Care Isn't Selfish!
By LaVante' Dorsey August 24, 2024
Hey, wonder woman! Yes, you—the one juggling work, family, friendships, and everything in between. It’s time to talk about something super important: self-care. Now, before you roll your eyes and think, "Ugh, another article telling me to take bubble baths," hold up! We're taking self-care to a whole new level. Get ready to dive into fun, spunky, and totally do-able ways to treat yourself like the queen you are! 1. Dance Like Nobody’s Watching (Literally!) When was the last time you cranked up your favorite jam and just let loose? Dancing is not only a killer workout, but it’s also a fantastic way to shake off stress. Whether you’re a secret Beyoncé in the kitchen or you prefer the privacy of your bedroom, give yourself permission to dance like nobody’s watching. Trust me, it’s impossible not to smile when you’re busting a move to your favorite 90s hit or the latest pop anthem. Tip: Create a “Feel-Good Dance Party” playlist filled with songs that make you want to get up and groove. Play it whenever you need a quick pick-me-up. 2. Indulge in a Guilty Pleasure Book (Or Three) We all have that one book (or maybe a whole stack) that we’re dying to read but never seem to have the time for. Well, guess what? It’s time to make time! Curling up with a good book is like giving your brain a mini-vacation. Whether it’s a steamy romance, a laugh-out-loud comedy, or a page-turning thriller, losing yourself in a good story is one of the best ways to unwind. Tip: Turn your reading time into a mini-escape. Make a cozy reading nook with blankets, pillows, and your favorite snack. Bonus points if you wear fuzzy socks! 3. Get Your Glam On – Just Because Who says you need a special occasion to get all dolled up? Sometimes, putting on a swipe of lipstick, styling your hair, or wearing that outfit you love can totally transform your mood. So go ahead, play with makeup, try that bold eyeshadow, or put on a dress that makes you feel like a million bucks. Do it for YOU, not because you have somewhere to be. Make it a “Dress-Up Day” once a week where you try a new look. Snap a selfie just to remind yourself how fabulous you are! 4. Take Yourself on a Date Why wait for someone else to treat you when you can treat yourself? Taking yourself out on a date is the ultimate act of self-love. Whether it’s grabbing a latte at that cute café, going to a movie solo (yes, it’s super fun!), or strolling through a museum, doing something you love, by yourself, can be incredibly empowering. Tip: Pick a place you’ve always wanted to try and make it your solo adventure spot. You might just find that you enjoy your own company more than you thought! 5. Get Crafty with a DIY Project There’s something so satisfying about making something with your own two hands. Whether it’s painting, knitting, scrapbooking, or even building a piece of furniture, getting crafty is a great way to de-stress and let your creativity shine. Plus, you’ll end up with something tangible that you can be proud of!  Tip: Start a craft night with your girlfriends—virtually or in person. Wine, snacks, and creativity make for the perfect self-care combo! Wrapping It Up Self-care doesn’t have to be boring or time-consuming. It’s about finding those little moments that make you smile, laugh, and feel good about yourself. So go ahead, try one (or all) of these spunky self-care tips, and remember—taking care of yourself is the best way to keep shining brightly in everything you do. Now, go out there and rock your self-care routine like the superstar you are!
