- 0:54SPEAKER_00: Alright, I know sometimes it's hard to express yourself, but I'd love for you to try.
- 0:58SPEAKER_00: So give me a word.
- 1:00SPEAKER_00: One word that describes how you're feeling at this moment.
- 1:04SPEAKER_00: Come on, just play along for just a second.
- 1:07SPEAKER_00: So give me a word that truly describes how you're doing.

- 1:35SPEAKER_00: Well, during my morning office routine today, and that just means my time in the Word with coffee, journaling, and all that.
- 1:42SPEAKER_00: During that time I reflected on how I felt and how I wanted to feel.
- 1:47SPEAKER_00: I read my scripture passage, did some listening prayer, and I journaled.
- 1:51SPEAKER_00: And as I did, I felt my stress level decrease.
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: I remembered that I was not alone, that God could handle my schedule, and I had done the most important thing by giving the Lord and myself this precious time with Him.
- 2:07SPEAKER_00: Breathe in.
- 2:10SPEAKER_00: Breathe out.
- 2:12SPEAKER_00: God's got this.
