Did you realize that the state of our health is directly tied to the state of our soul? Our battle scars from life have a way of impacting the health of our soul. Do we allow our emotions of bitterness and unforgiveness to get the best of us? Scripture tells us that we are to forgive others in the same way that He forgives us.
As an integrated being, our Soul (Mind, Will and Emotion) plays an important role in our overall health. Our feelings, our stress levels, our thought life, etc., will impact our health in ways we could never imagine.
Laughter
Positive News
Turn off the TV news and read or watch things that are encouraging and uplifting. You may also want to stay off of social media if you tend to be frustrated or discouraged by what you see there.
Nature
Take a walk or just go outside. Nature is very soothing to our souls. Fresh air and sunshine benefit us physically and the smells and sounds of nature can promote calm and peaceful feelings.
Sara Jo Poff, Founder of Healthy Families for God
“How do our emotions impact our health?”
Do a mental and emotional “detox”:
Get good quality sleep. This is not only important to you physically, but we all know that our emotional health suffers when we do not get good sleep. Some of the de-stress activities listed above can help you get better quality sleep. Thanks to Joni Bellew, RN, for her lesson on Sleep. She is author of: Nurse, Nurse, I’m Worse. Can You Help Me Sleep?
For a few more tips you can also download our Tips for Sweet Sleep guide which can be easily kept near your bedside as a friendly reminder.

PART 2 is out with Olympic ice skater, Scott Hamilton...
⛸️Following his mother’s passing and his own survival of stage 3 testicular cancer, Hamilton launched the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation (Cancer Alliance for Research, Education and Survivorship) in 2014, with a mission to improve cancer patient survivorship by supporting world class cancer research and the highest quality patient treatment and care. The same year, he founded the Scott Hamilton Skating Academy, in partnership with the NHL’s Nashville Predators, at Ford Ice Centers in Antioch, Bellevue and Clarksville, TN, to offer students programs to help them fall in love with ice skating.
🎧Listen to part 2 as Scott and Jim (stage 4 melanoma thriver), discuss treatment decisions, understanding your choices, being informed, seeking advice from multiple medical experts to understand the variety of options available, holistic health, including lifestyle changes and more.

Have you ever needed to trust God in moments you may not see him?
There are times in our lives when God is working behind the scenes, but we don`t see Him nor feel His presence. The book of Esther doesn`t mention the name of God, but He was directing every step of her story.
The newest HealingStrong Bible plan on the Bible app has officially LAUNCHED as of today!!!
TRUSTING God`s Plan When You Don`t See Him: Lessons from the Book of Esther
Check it out, and comment "ESTHER" if you`d like the link to the plan sent directly to your DM`s 🩷
