*The diet and exercise reduce physical stress while increasing endorphins, thereby giving you stamina to withstand emotional stress.
*Writing without thinking itemizes for you clearly what’s on your mind, thereby creating relief and space. Including a gratitude journal creates balance and more focus on other things going on in your life.
*Music is the language of the soul and makes us happy.
*Increasing your emuna and gratitude helps keep one going in a more positive frame of mind.
You can do it, and we’re all cheering you on! Feel better soon!
