In this week's podcast Dani joins me and we get real on what life is like right now. There are four things this week that are keeping us saner.
Making Our Beds: doing a handful of simple, consistent things each day that help us feel grounded and accomplished.
Reaching Out to Others: making the phone call to the girlfriend that won't have a pity party with you, won't tell you to suck it up, but WILL empathize with you and encourage you to keep walking forward.
Do Life in 2 Hour Increments: consider doing life two hours at a time and then reassess. If the morning list seems to be going out the window by mid-morning, commit to a two hour block of time and then reassess what needs to happen next.
Let it Go at the End of the Day: Lift you hand palm up to the sky and visualize tossing the rest of the to dos you didn't get to during the day up to God. A way of saying, "Here is my day Lord, thank you for what I was able to do, here is the rest, I trust you to help me through my next day".

In this week's podcast Jennifer talks about a box of memories she found this week and encourages us to focus on putting favorite memories in front of us. To combat the feelings of isolation and fear, take some time and soak on the word goodness and then capture moments in life that were belly laugh moments, favorite happenings, or that deeply moved you.
For me these moments represent God's goodness to us. In the midst of a lot of self-doubt, fears, and moments of high anxiety this list brought me comfort and perspective.
