You can't just flip a switch to reach peak performance in games. You have to condition your mind every day to perform your best. If you're mentally lazy during practice, you'll be mentally weak in games.
Lack of time is often not a valid excuse. No matter how busy you think you are, you can almost always make time to work towards your biggest goals. You just need to make sacrifices and be disciplined with your time management.
Eight ways to improve your mental health:
1. Think positive
2. Be in the moment
3. Have fun
4. Live a healthy lifestyle
5. Work toward your goals
6. Love others
7. Have purpose in life
8. Ask for help
God’s presence renews our strength when we are weary. God’s presence heals all sickness and gives us hope. God’s presence lifts us up when we are defeated. God’s presence gives us faith to keep going.
Every once in a while, a ewe will give birth to a lamb and reject it. There are many reasons she may do this. If the lamb is returned to the ewe, the mother may even kick the poor animal away. Once a ewe rejects one of her lambs, she will never change her mind.
These little lambs will hang their heads so low that it looks like something is wrong with its neck. Their spirit is broken.
These lambs are called “bummer lambs.” Unless the Shepherd intervenes, that lamb will die, rejected and alone. So, do you know what the Shepherd does?
He takes that rejected little one into His home, hand-feeds it and keeps it warm by the fire. He will wrap it up with blankets and hold it to His chest so the bummer can hear His heartbeat. Once the lamb is strong enough, the Shepherd will place it back in the field with the rest of the flock.
But that sheep never forgets how the Shepherd cared for him when his mother rejected him. When the Shepherd calls for the flock, guess who runs to Him first?
That is right, the bummer sheep. He knows His voice intimately.
It is not that the bummer lamb is loved more, it just knows intimately the One who loves it and has experienced that love one on one.
So many of us are bummer lambs, rejected and broken. But He is the good Shepherd. He cares for our every need and holds us close to His heart so we can hear His heartbeat.
I am a bummer lamb adopted and loved by The Good Shepherd!! ❤ ❤ ❤ Hallelujah!!

There is no relationship without an open heart. Pain and trauma can often cause us to build walls in our hearts. God is relational and intentional. To build healthy relationships with God and with the people around us, we need to open our hearts again.
