Self-care isn't a luxury
Just like it sounds, self-care means taking care of yourself...with a focus. It means being intentional about listening to
your body and mind, then choosing to do something that makes you feel soothed, rejuvenated, or peaceful.
As simple as that sounds, our culture doesn’t reward self-care. We are told that being “crazy busy” is a badge of honor. Running constantly between work, errands, family, and school is a normal day. Social media makes it look like everyone is racing through life with ease and making great things happen. Even though technology keeps us more connected, people end up feeling lonelier and unable to relax. Do you feel the pressure? We all do.

The Power of Other-Centeredness
God understands our human tendency to be self-centered. He knows that our hearts often tend to think of ourselves first and take care of ourselves before others. He says, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” He also says to “prefer one another” because He knows our sinful hearts tend to prefer ourselves. God also says that the second greatest commandment is to love our neighbor as ourselves—so how do we do that?Type the content for this list item here.

UNDERSTANDING ANXIETY
Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can impact your everyday life. As a mental health therapist, I often work with clients who struggle with anxiety, and I want to share some strategies to help you manage your symptoms and feel more in control.
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is more than just worrying about a future event or feeling nervous before a big presentation. It’s a constant, often overwhelming feeling of fear, dread, or unease that can affect your emotional, physical, and mental well-being. It’s important to remember that you’re not alone in experiencing anxiety—many people face these challenges.

When should you see a therapist?
you may think that a crisis is the only reason to seek out counseling. (Yes, if you are in crisis, reach out to our team as soon as possible. We are here to help you.)
But there are other reasons to talk to a True Relationships therapist or pastoral counselor. You may not be feeling like you are in crisis today, but you may feel that you could do more, feel better, or find peace in an area of your life.
Why is this important?
Taking care of your mental health can benefit your whole being and strengthen all of your relationships. If something is bothering you, it’s taking up space and energy in your life. It might be draining happiness from the moments you want to enjoy. It could be stopping you from taking on new challenges or from being fully present with others.
