Laugh – Humor is a great anti-stressor.

So often we get caught in the busyness and frantic pace of life that everything become very serious and heavy. Lightness disappears.

I’ve found one of the best ways to reduce some of the mental and emotional weight is to look for things that make me laugh.

My go to? Funny animal videos on YouTube. They never fail to make me smile, chuckle or laugh out loud. And I always feel better afterward.

Benefits –
• Reduces stress hormones
• Boosts mood
• Relaxes the body
• Lightens emotional heaviness
• Helps you regain perspective

Encourage – Give some kind words to someone else – you’ll both be blessed.

I truly believe that encouragers are anointed by God to help us all. A few sincere words at the right time can make a remarkable difference.

And here’s the beautiful thing: encouragement doesn’t just help the other person—it lifts us too.

If you get a chance to cheer someone on in their journey – do it! I think you’ll see what I mean.

Benefits –
• Boosts your mood
• Strengthens relationships
• Creates connection
• Reduces stress
• Gives both people a sense of hope

Appreciate – Acknowledge your blessings & thank God for them.

Most of us are guilty of taking the good things in our life for granted – and when we do that, we fail to realize the full extent of how much we’ve been blessed.

I try to do this regularly. I thank God for my 2 little dogs…most of the time, for my family, for my friends, for my home.

This simple habit helps me be aware of all the benefits I experience every day and be grateful for them.

Benefits –
• Increases gratitude
• Improves mood
• Lowers stress
• Shifts perspective in difficult moments
• Strengthens faith and emotional resilience

Sometimes small habits create big change. And sometimes we need a little extra support. If that’s where you are, I’d be honored to help.

If stress, sleep issues, or overwhelm have become bigger than “small actions” can solve alone, I’m happy to help. I work with clients both online and in person.

Pause – When things get hectic, take a time out and breath.

If you can, go outside. Somewhere with green plants, natural light, fresh air and water if you happen to be near any.

Tell yourself to slow down.

Focus on your breathing. Quiet your thoughts. Center yourself.

Sometimes a 2–5 minute reset is all it takes to change the direction of your day.

Benefits –
• Lowers stress
• Calms your nervous system
• Improves mental clarity
• Reduces overwhelm
• Helps you respond instead of react

Create – Make or craft something. This is one of my personal favorites because I’m a big crafter. I love creating beautiful things! I make greeting cards and it gives me a huge sense of satisfaction.

I call crafting my therapy and that’s pretty accurate.

The good news? You don’t have to create something perfect. In fact, I always feel that the flaws in handmade items make them more interesting and meaningful.

Benefits –
• Improves focus
• Boosts creativity
• Creates a sense of accomplishment
• Gives your mind a healthy break

Connect – Get together – in person – with friends or family. In our tech heavy age, staying connected is easier than ever. But sometimes getting touch by text, phone call, email or even video chats leave out important elements.

Being with people, in person, allows us to chat, laugh, catch up and really connect. I especially believe this happens over food.

Last night my 2 brothers and 1 of my sister-in-laws (the other was out of town) got together at my brother’s home. We made pizza that he baked in his outdoor pizza oven – it was yummy – and ate banana pudding that my other brother and his wife brought – amazing!

The conversations and fun moments we had wouldn’t have happened on a phone call. So set up regular get-togethers with the people you care for – it matters.

Benefits –
• Reduces loneliness
• Improves emotional health
• Strengthens relationships
• Lowers stress
• Increases happiness

If you’d like extra support creating healthier habits, I work with clients online as well as in person. Information is on my website.

Sing – By yourself, with a group. Lots of people will dismiss this one because they think they don’t have a good singing voice. But the nice thing is that it really doesn’t matter if you sound like JLo or a croaking frog.

Singing out loud – by yourself or with a small or large group is wonderful for emotional wellbeing. I don’t have a good solo voice but I do have a decent choir voice. I sing in choir at my church and thoroughly enjoy it. Making music (even if it’s less than tuneful at times) makes me feel good.

And yes, the Bible mentions singing. Psalm 100 tells us to make a joyful noise to the Lord. Notice it doesn’t say a melodious or musical noise but a joyful one. We can all do that!

Benefits –
• Lifts mood
• Reduces stress
• Improves breathing
• Builds connection with others
• Encourages emotional expression

Play – Do something fun. How long has it been since you did something just because you enjoyed it? Not because it was educational, good for you or necessary – but because it gave you pleasure. Children do this instinctively but as adults often neglect it. Fun is not only, well – fun, but it’s actually good for us.

Benefits –
• Reduces stress
• Boosts mood
• Sparks creativity
• Increases energy
• Gives your brain a healthy reset

One of the most remarkable things about gratitude is how it spreads.

When we begin practicing gratitude regularly, it often influences not only our own lives but also the people around us.

Gratitude tends to create a ripple effect that touches many areas of life.

For example:

• Improved pain tolerance and reduced perception of chronic pain. Lower stress and positive emotional states can influence how the body processes discomfort.
• Strengthened neural pathways associated with positive thinking. The brain gradually becomes more accustomed to noticing what is good.
• Stronger feelings of compassion and kindness toward others. Gratitude naturally encourages generosity and empathy.
• A deeper sense of contentment and trust in God’s timing. Gratitude reminds us that life often unfolds in meaningful ways we cannot always see immediately.

The beautiful thing about gratitude is that it often grows when we share it.
You might try:

• Express appreciation to someone who has made a difference in your life.
• Look for opportunities to encourage or support someone else. I make my own greeting cards (I’m a big crafter) and try to send out several each week to encourage people. This helps them but it also blesses me!
• Take a moment each evening to reflect on the blessings of the day.

Gratitude has a quiet way of expanding — within our own hearts and within the lives of others.

Reflection:

Who can you be a blessing or encouragement to today?

Like many positive practices, gratitude becomes most powerful when it becomes a regular habit rather than an occasional thought.

The good news is that gratitude does not require a lot of time or effort.

Small, consistent actions can gradually reshape how we think and experience life.

Practicing gratitude regularly can influence many areas of wellbeing:
• Improved digestive health and gut function. Lower stress levels help support healthy digestion.
• Improved decision-making under stress. Gratitude helps calm the mind and create clearer thinking.
• Greater feelings of hope and optimism. Focusing on what is good encourages a more positive outlook.
• Increased worship and praise as a lifestyle. Gratitude naturally leads many people toward deeper spiritual reflection.

Simple daily habits can help build this practice:

• Start the morning by thinking of one blessing before getting out of bed. I start my day off with prayer while still in bed. It took me a while to develop this habit but now I do it automatically – it starts out my day on a happy, positive note.
• Write a short weekly gratitude reflection.
• Pause during the day to appreciate something ordinary or meaningful.

Over time, these small habits can quietly transform the way we see our lives.
