00:00:13 --> 00:00:14 Hello,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16 and welcome to Momo 634,

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26 MOMO 634.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30 Motivational moments just for today.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47 I won't mention specific events,

00:00:47 --> 00:00:51 but many have been glued to their televisions over the last

00:00:52 --> 00:00:52 several hours.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57 It doesn't take an overly sensitive person like me to be

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59 overwhelmed by it all.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03 It's heart-wrenching for just about anyone.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08 So here are five self-care tips.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:08 1.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12 Limit your news and social media intake.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:17 It's hard for anxious people to do this because we think we

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19 inoculate ourselves by

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21 knowing all the things.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22 But really,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:28 we just set ourselves up to watch the same horrific images over

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30 and over and over

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34 again while the world waits for answers.

00:01:36 --> 00:01:36 to.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39 Do something constructive.

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40 Donate blood.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44 Contact a disaster relief organization.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46 Give to a reputable charity.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50 Look for ways to be a helper.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53 Perhaps you can't help in this instance,

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55 but sadly,

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57 as long as there is life on this planet,

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01 tragic and scary things will happen.

00:02:02 --> 00:02:06 help prepare for the next thing, whatever form it may take.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09 To add to that,

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12 consider using a gift or skill you possess,

00:02:13 --> 00:02:16 as we discussed recently in the episode,

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17 Your One Thing,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19 to help others.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:24 Project Linus creates blankets for children who've been through

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25 traumatic events and

00:02:26 --> 00:02:31 whether a school incident or natural disaster.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:31 3.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:32 Rest.

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38 During times of stress and anxiety, the adrenaline flows.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42 Then it catches up with us and we crash.

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45 Get rest when you can.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:45 4.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:52 To that end, help de-stress.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:59 Pull out your rainy day toolkit items, linked below at momo634.com.

00:03:01 --> 00:03:01 Calming music,

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04 uplifting essential oils,

00:03:05 --> 00:03:09 and grounding or breathing techniques are all helpful.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:14 5.

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14 Gather your tribe and pray.

00:03:15 --> 00:03:15 Prayer,

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17 as discussed in the episode,

00:03:18 --> 00:03:18 Yes,

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20 Thoughts and Prayers,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:24 is one of the most powerful tools in the Christian's arsenal.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:32 Additionally, pray for families, first responders, leaders, and helpers.

00:03:34 --> 00:03:37 You can also combine this with writing notes of encouragement

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39 to our service members,

00:03:39 --> 00:03:40 first responders,

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42 and community helpers,

00:03:42 --> 00:03:47 letting them know you appreciate them and that you are praying for them.

00:03:48 --> 00:03:53 We don't thank God nearly enough, nor can we truly.

00:03:54 --> 00:03:58 However, neither do our helpers hear those words enough.

00:04:00 --> 00:04:03 There is no meme for the day that can top the verse that is the

00:04:03 --> 00:04:04 essential part of

00:04:04 --> 00:04:05 this podcast's name.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09 Matthew 6.34 Therefore,

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12 do not worry about tomorrow,

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14 for tomorrow will worry about itself.

00:04:15 --> 00:04:18 Today has enough trouble of its own.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:24 When the world is scary, what are your tried and true go-tos?

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26 Chime in below.
