The Lord has declared, “It is my purpose to provide for my saints…” (D&C 104:15). I’ve included this passage in each of my newsletter submissions. We are living in extremely challenging times, and it is so important to see the hand of God in our lives. He has a plan, and with faith, we can accept that plan and look to a better day. That knowledge can comfort us, but we can still feel anxious and concerned. See some tips on how to cope.
Timely Ideas from Family Service
Social-Emotional Health
In a time of challenges and stress, it is important to focus on your and your family’s well-being physically, mentally, and emotionally. Here are some tips to support yourself and others through this time:
◊ Get plenty of rest
◊ Eat as healthy as possible
◊ Exercise and stay active
◊ Share your feelings with others and let others know they can share with you
◊ Find opportunities to play and laugh
