ICONNECTED TO COMMUNITY
Determine to get involved. Focus on investing in someone or something else. Become a mentor or find someone to mentor you. Do something outside your comfort zone - that is how we grow! Who knows what opportunities might come your way when you decide to make God and others the center of your attention and affection.

CONNECTED TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS
God created the family for a reason. We simply do life better together than we do apart from one another (Proverbs 17:7; 27:6; Galatians 6:2). Connecting with loved ones encourages selflessness, empathy, and purpose. In contrast, isolation from family and friends fosters selfishness, discontent, and despair. Neglecting connection with others removes a sense of purpose. Without purpose, we wither.

THE HEALTHY CIRCLE OF SUPPORT
The Winter Blues... We've all heard of it, and many of us face it each year. The days are short, and the snow piles tall. All the holiday festivities have passed, and now it's hunker down time. Fortunately, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel - spring is coming! But what do we do in the meantime to fight off the winter blues?
STAY CONNECTED
No, I don't mean Wi-Fi! Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. are all nice things, but they are not the real thing. God created us for intimate, personal relationships. The healthy circle of support is God, family, friends, and community. A disconnect from any of these leaves us more vulnerable to anxiety and depression.
CONNECTED TO GOD
Do not neglect your personal relationship with God. This should be your first purpose in life. When Adam and Eve sinned, they became disconnected from God, their ultimate purpose and their ultimate joy. This led to anxious fear (Genesis 3). Anxiety is the number one mental health disorder in America today. Making your daily walk with the Lord a priority can help you stay focused on what matters most!
