When we're in distress, we might do as Jesus did and use our environment and our spiritual and physical resources to help us manage the nervousness and stress in our bodies.

The retelling of Jesus' experience provides us with intimate access to our Savior's thoughts and emotions as He accepts the cup of suffering. While this is deeply meaningful and spiritually significant, understanding the correlation between the psychological and somatic pain Jesus experienced provides us with a therapeutic launching pad for understanding the interconnectivity between emotional and physical or somatic distress—and, subsequently, how to handle it.

"It also really helps when parents notice the good stuff too, not just what we’re doing wrong. If all we hear is what we messed up, it kind of starts to feel like that’s all we are. But when someone notices something good, it actually makes me want to keep trying."

"Food can help your brain work better, keep your energy steady, and even help you feel happy."

The command to meditate—to ponder, muse, or think over—was given to us by God as a way to focus our attention and improve our well-being. Meditating in a safe, healthy way doesn’t involve postures or hand gestures; it simply means filling your mind with the best, not

Gratitude isn’t a new idea or a trend—it’s something people have practiced for a long time. From the very beginning, God made us able to notice good things and say “thank you” for them.

Fragility, often wrapped in grief, disappointment, and uncertainty, is a part of the human experience—one we move in and out of, often without consent. Feelings of fragility often surface w

Dear Anchor, ADHD sounded terrible to me, with the only word I knew from the acronym being disorder. I didn't expect anything good to come from it. I was nervous and scared that ADHD could ruin everything.
