Get up and dance.

Sometimes I still struggle with depression, after all, we are still on this planet, and it's not always pretty. Can anyone relate? I still have to follow every day my own advice that I shared in my book. I have a playlist of praise and worship music that speaks to my soul and I blast it every morning before I go to work. On purpose, I will jump, shout, dance, and sing till I am happy and can face the day. Let me tell you that this is not a graceful vision and anyone who has ever seen me in this mode laughs. Guess what, I don’t care. This really works. There’s a double benefit as well because most of this music is filled with God’s word.

If you struggle with anxiety, depression, or sorrow I encourage you (actually, I dare you) to do this for two weeks. Some of my favorites are, Way Maker; I Ran Out of That Grave; and Ain’t No Grave, all by Bethel Music. Do what you have to do, my friends. Let me know how it goes!
