At night, do you ever try to fall asleep but find you can’t turn off the overthinking even though you’re exhausted? Or during the day, you're trying to move forward, but you feel drained of energy, weighed down by your worry?

Learn how to help signal your body to respond to stress and stop overthinking and sleep better, by activating a counter-balancing relaxation response designed by God.

Soul care coach Bonnie shares 3 key ways inspired by one of Jesus’ approaches in Scripture, backed by scientific tips to help ease anxiety and sleep better.

This episode will help you calm your mind and body to better tackle what you need to take care of during the day and rest better at night.

Learn:

- How your daytime activities determine how much melatonin your body releases to help you sleep at night

- How to stop the brain’s stress response of overthinking and ease body pain.

- 7 foods to eat that help your body relax

This Week's Memory Verse: “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).

Soul Care Tip: Why spending face-to-face time improves sleep and rest, why walking 10 minutes lowers anxiety more than 45 minutes at the gym, plus: how your body creates melatonin.
