Green Flag shirt: The Green is used for Mental Health Awareness. It is a symbol for mental illnesses, bipolar disorder, and depression. Green symbolizes the continual awareness of mental health in order to help fight the stigma that is too often associated with it.
Green trees 🌲 and green grass meadows in nature. The color green is the color of nature, growth, freshness, energy, and fertility.
Spiritually green carries the vibration of growth, new beginnings, health, renewal, harmony, hope, and peace.
Psychologically green evokes reactions which affect our moods and emotions. Green is also described as refreshing and tranquil. The color green can positively affect our thinking 🤔, our relationships, and our physical health. It is also believed to relieve stress and help us heal.
Although the color green can represent many things, I prefer to look 👀 on the positive aspects of the color green. One of my favorites is that it brings awareness to mental health issues. Mental health is a real concern and it’s issues among people around the world seems to have increased with the various circumstances that surrounds Covid-19 and its sub variants.
Mental health issues are not always visible so beware of your words and actions. Unkind words or actions might have extreme affects on someone else. Always be kind and loving, be calm and peaceful. Show God’s love ❤️ to all those around you.
” But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.”
Psalm 52:8
“He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.”
Psalm 23:2

Moving refers to a change in residence. Moving is moving whether moving next door, across town, or across the country. Moving can be an extremely emotional experience. There is so much that goes through one’s mind when you think about moving. It is one thing if you plan on your own accord to move. In that instance, you plan ahead, know where you’re going and make realistic plans accordingly. However, when you’re told by your landlord your lease is not being renewed and you have thirty days to find a place and move, that brings about a whole different set of emotions.
Moving chaos
Moving can be challenging and also frustrating. Frustrating in looking, hunting, searching, trying to locate a place to move. It can be difficult to locate a place to move to when you know way in advance that you’ll be moving, but on short notice it can become very stressful and irritating. It might make you feel like screaming, especially when you’re so frustrated by not finding a place right away knowing you do not have much time.
4 Most Frustrating Moving Challenges
Tips for solving and overcoming common challenges when moving. Moving can be exciting but also stressful. Your emotions are all over the place. ( I know mine are right now.) How we overcome tour challenges matters tremendously. Let’s take a deep look on what can be done to make a move a little bit less frustrating.
Having Too Many Belongings – Packing is a necessary component of moving it accomplishing it can become difficult. It may be hard to decide what you need to keep and take with you and what you need to discard by giving away or trashing. Solution: Too many belongings, reduce them. Keep only what you really really need and get rid of things you don’t use much anyway.
A Sudden and Unplanned Move – Failing to plan ahead May cause problems later. Toolittle time means you probably won’t be able to be organized. Packing and unpacking may not go as smoothly as you’d hoped. Solution: Start planning as soon as possible. Prepare a timetable and checklist for when things need to be done.
Lost or Damaged Items – Remember to use special packaging for items like tv’s, mirrors, dishes, and lamps. Solution: Special packaging and handling helps to prevent damage when moving. Keep an organized inventorysystem, label boxes by contents.
Not Enough Packing Material – Often we are unsure of how many boxes and how much packaging materials are necessary for the number of items you’d be moving. Solution: Moving companies, regardless of whether you’re moving yourself or using movers, are happy to advice you on the correct number of packing materials you’ll need.
Moving Boxes 📦
What you need to do to prepare for your move:
Before or while you are packing your belongings into boxes take inventory of everything you have and everything you need for your move.
Invest in packing supplies. Those supplies should include boxes 📦, bubble wrap, packing tape, and markers for labeling the boxes 📦.
Create piles or boxes for “to throw away,” “to donate,” and “to sell.”
Make a trip to the local donation center such as Goodwill and to the landfill or dump station.
Moving ….
Whenever and wherever you plan on moving be sure to use a checklist to ensure you have everything you need and do not leave anything behind. If you don’t use a checklist you might forget something and then you might become agitated and emotionally frustrated with yourself, with your situation, or with those trying to help you with your move.
God Bless. Stay safe. And if you plan on moving, be sure to plan ahead and use checklists. Thank you! I appreciate y’all.
Alone is having no one else around, being by yourself. Lonely describes a feeling of sadness from isolation or abandonment. One can be alone without feeling lonely. And one could be surrounded by people and yet feel very lonely.
Loneliness does not come from being alone, but from being surrounded by people who can’t understand you. A deep feeling of isolation comes when you realize that even the person standing right next to you is unreachable. Being alone does not mean you are lonely, and being lonely does not mean you are alone.
Have you ever felt lonely even though you were surrounded by others? Sometimes you can be around family or friends and still feel like you are all alone. You feel empty inside, a feeling of being invisible, being ignored, and or feeling unloved and like no one cares.
No I may not be physically alone…. But mentally there is no one in sight…. —— The Minds Journal
Loneliness can be normal, and can be an indicating factor of an underlying disease when feelings become extremely all-consuming and interfere with your daily life. Loneliness is NO fun. It is apparently bad for you. People who are lonely may be a greater risk for some types of inflammatory diseases.
Although loneliness is not considered a mental illness in and of itself, it is, however, strongly linked to mental health issues.
Loneliness is not just a feeling of being alone, it’s fear, depression, inferiority, it’s a collection of negative emotions building up a massive wall around you. —— Therightmessages.com
What are some ways to deal with your feelings of loneliness?
Face your feelings of loneliness….don’t run away from your feelings….
Don’t judge yourself for feeling lonely….no time for a pity party….
Figure out how much connection you need and work towards it….Don’t forget you need others….
Dismiss your belief that no one understands you….There’s nothing wrong with your feelings….if necessary find someone you can talk to….
Reconnect with your original self….connect with love ❤️…..God is love….
Does the Bible say anything about loneliness, feeling alone?
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you, he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV (New International Version)
“Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.”
Psalm 25:16 NIV
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Isaiah 41:10 NIV
A Prayer for Loneliness:
“Heavenly Father, I need your comfort as I am feeling lonely. Help me to remember that you see me even when others don’t. Be with me through this trial I am going through. Help me understand that I am going through this for a reason and that you will see me through this; That I can conquer this because you are with me.”
Before the pandemic began, I felt happy. Since lockdowns in 2020, I have felt a mixture of emotions. I feel Fear, Confusion, and anger.
Mixed Emotions
It is difficult during this time period to only discuss one feeling, one emotion. Especially when I am so mixed up and confused.
I am confused about the Coronavirus, CDC guidelines change frequently, it seems. Wear masks, okay not to wear masks. Stay six feet apart, social distancing is mandatory. We changed our minds, you don’t have to stay home. You can go out in group, Covid-19 is under control. While everything was supposed to be shut down, kids were still allowed to meet in groups and play sports ⚽️ or other activities. I’m confused regarding how that was safe when we were mandated to social distance and stay six feet apart. How is it safe for some and not for others to meet in groups?
Even when mandates were in place, some people ignored them. Nursing homes were locked down, but residents still died from Covid-19. People were told they couldn’t visit the loved ones not even when they were dying. The guidelines send us mixed signals, so I’m confused, frustrated, and angry.
I’m fearful the Coronavirus will affect my immediate family. I’m fearful that working family members will bring it home. I’m fearful that everything they touch or breathe on will be contaminated with the virus 🦠. Should I be? At this point I don’t really know. I’ve had older relatives die from Covid. I’ve had other relatives and friends that have had it. Some with severe symptoms and some with only mild symptoms. I am fearful about catching it, about how I would be affected by it. I’m fearful that my two year old grandson will come down with it from his parents possibly bringing it into the home. Should I not be afraid?
I continually see people going about the lives as if the coronavirus never happened, didn’t exist. It does exist and people are still dying from it. Maybe not as many as in the beginning, but they still are. The coronavirus has not been eliminated. It will be around fir a long time yet.
List of emotions
What should I be doing to manage my emotions? There are many things I might could use. The following is a small list of things I could or maybe should be doing.
Label the Emotion
Engage in a healthy coping skill
Fake it till I make it
See a therapist
Let myself feel whatever it may be
The Bible has several things to say regarding turning our concerns over to God. Let God know how you feel, tell God what I’m feeling. Sometimes I keep things bottled up inside, and talking to God falls by the wayside. I need to trust Him more and turn my fears, my worries, my emotions over to God. I need to believe He’ll take care of everything, that He is in control. Not me.
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4: 6-7 KJV
“Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”
Psalm 55:22 KJV
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
1 Peter 5:7 KJV
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV
Emotions are real. Your friends and family may not understand why you feel the why you do. That doesn’t matter as much as the fact that God understands. He cares about every aspect of your/my life. I need to remember that more, like every day.
