*sigh*
this morning I woke up and stayed in bed for 3 hours. I got up and sat in my den and cried my eyes out. I felt hopeless, stuck, and overwhelmed. the enemy came for my mind so I begged God to rescue me. He did. here’s how.
.
1. His Word
I wrote down everything I was feeling. I wept to him. He wept with me. then He told me to place my hand on my mind and declare that it belonged to Him. I did the same for my heart, mouth, and body. to every feeling I prayed the truth of God’s word and spoke it over myself.  God showed me Daniel 4:34. He told me he would restore my sanity. and He did. 
2. His home
my bed was unmade, I had piled up dishes for days, and there were wrappers and old food everywhere. @songsbyantonio and I cleaned every last bit. God showed me that He gave us this home and He helped us steward it. 
3. His temple (my body)
God turned my attention to my body. He asked me to take my time and set the atmosphere for a physical and spiritual cleaning. He wanted His dwelling place to be taken care of, washed, and set apart. 
4. Maintenance
fresh nails are one of the many ways my mind stops racing and God and I share time. it sounds silly but the things we have to stop and do that take time and focus are some of the quiet and unconventional places God wants to meet with you. whether it’s detailing your car, fixing a broken button on your shirt, or even folding laundry. reframing your day to day can help you see that while you maintain your things, God maintains your life.
5. His meal
I like to imagine sitting at the table with Jesus whenever I make a colorful meal. sometimes I get caught up and I rush some cereal before returning to my phone. but today, God wanted me to prepare a meal, set my phone down, and rest in His company while I took the time to be fed by His provision. 
.
I know the list isn’t extensive and it’s also not limited to these things but these are what I did today to refresh and renew my mind. God’s way. let me know if you have some go to’s or if these help you.
