Take Action
We recommend starting with meditation. Try finding yourself in a quiet place, contemplating these scriptures:

Matthew 6:25-27 - “Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?”
If you need natural aid to center your mind and body for meditation, try a Hemp Extract.
