Prayer:
Precious Creator, when we feel sick, let us never feel the need to hide it from you. Let it be easy and barrier free for us to bring whatever ails our hearts, our minds, our bodies... to you and help us find comfort in knowing you will guide the best solutions into our often unseeing eyes. Thank you, for offering us safe arms into which we may fall… and for the safety of angels’ wings to shroud us from any rain, until storms pass. Amen.
Personal/Professional Growth Tool Suggestion:
Getting consistent, quality sleep each day is crucial to optimal functioning of all of the body’s systems. The better we are towards achieving consistent quality and quantities of sleep, the better we feel… hence, the better our interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships will function.
Coping Skill Suggestion:
Power nap! Instead of laying down for several hours, when tired, try setting an alarm and only doze for 15 minutes. More often than not, our brains will perk right back up to functioning most optimally with just that quicker power nap!
