We already know the necessary steps, so today is about putting your tools into practice: healthy eating, regular exercise, and clarity of thought. She encourages you to release the pressure of being a \"perfect Christian,\" as comparison only serves to hurt your heart, mind, and spirit. As she mentioned before, she is at peace with the fact that her editors do not remove every imperfection. My ultimate goal is to ensure that the heart of God's love flows through each episode. Be mentally healthy today by staying consistent with what you know works. Follow peace, care for your mind and body, and keep your soul nurtured through your relationship with God. Transform your mind, transcend your situation We are looking forward to you being a part of the God and Therapy Community. To get connected, email Dr. Cheryl and let her know you want to be included.
