If so, it's easy to let our emotions control how we feel.<br /> <br /> I know because this has been me.<br /> <br /> For much of my life, my emotions have been in control. But, God is helping me change this slowly over time.<br /> <br /> Today we felt led to share a few of the things that we have seen make the biggest difference for us.<br /> <br /> God is our refuge and place of safety, Amen?<br /> <br /> We need to be proactive during this time. We need to care for our souls.<br /> <br /> A few things that have helped us:<br /> <br /> 1. Movement<br /> <br /> Get out for a walk or turn on some music and get up and dance!<br /> <br /> When watching our online church service this past weekend, I got up and danced around our dining room during worship. If you would have seen me, you might have thought I went crazy. LOL! But, it helped shift my mood!<br /> <br /> I feel a difference when I get out and run. For you, it may be a walk. Just get up and move. It makes a difference.<br /> <br /> 2. Music<br /> <br /> Worship music can shift my mood faster than almost anything else. Turn on a playlist and let it change the atmosphere of your home.<br /
