Key Notes from this Article

Emotional Wellness…

  • is a lifelong journey that cannot be learned overnight 

  • can be repaired by learning to live for others

  • can be rebalanced by embracing contentment

Take Action

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

  • Philippians 4:6 - “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”

  • 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.
