When trust is broken, it’s not words that rebuild it—it’s consistent action.

True healing takes time. The people who are serious about making things right will show it through responsibility, humility, and a deep commitment to growth. They’ll do the work, seek help, and stay present, even when it’s hard.

Restoration doesn’t happen overnight. But with time, care, and accountability, relationships can heal.

How we perceive ourselves is crucial to our emotional and psychological well-being. Terms like self-worth and self-esteem are often used interchangeably, yet they reflect different aspects of how individuals value themselves. Understanding these distinctions can pave the way for healthier self-perception and personal growth.

🌟 Self-esteem is how you evaluate yourself based on performance, appearance, or achievements.⁠
🌱 Self-worth is deeper—it’s the belief that you are valuable simply because you exist.⁠

True healing reaches beyond the physical and emotional—it touches the soul. At The Center • A Place of HOPE, we believe caring for your soul is just as essential as caring for your body and mind.

Contentment isn’t something to chase. It’s something you choose, and it begins when you shift your focus from what’s missing to what’s meaningful. You can train your heart and mind to dwell on the abundance in your life and not the absences.

You were created for peace, purpose, and wholeness. Nourish your spirit, and let contentment take root.

One of the quickest ways to lift your own spirit is to help someone else. Serving others brings a deep sense of joy, gratitude, and HOPE — a reminder that we’re all connected.

Whether it’s volunteering at a local shelter, being there for a friend after a hard day, or offering a simple act of kindness, opportunities to refresh others are all around us. And when we pour into others, we often find that we’re the ones refreshed.

At the Center, we believe HOPE grows stronger when you have a plan. Visit www.aplaceofhope.com to learn more about how we build plans of HOPE.

The link between prolonged stress and major depression is well documented. At The Center, we encourage clients to focus on eliminating the stressors that are within their control. Here's the list we recommend:

1. Stop Procrastinating. Delay and avoidance amp up your stress levels. If there's something in your life that is making you anxious, resolve that source of stress once and for all.

2. Limit Commitments. Protecting your time from overcommitments is one of the most effective things you can do to reduce the stress in your life. Learning to say no is a form of self-care.

3. Forgo Temporary Escapes. When we're stressed, it's tempting to turn to excessive eating, spending, or alcohol consumption. Being intentional about how you escape is critical to improving your mood.

4. Embrace Healthy Activities. Spend time reading a great book, planning a trip, trying something new, or being in nature. The key is to cultivate healthy habits you can practice when you feel stress.

5. Guard Your Thoughts. Sometimes the source of pain and stress can be found in our own thoughts. Ruminating on negative experiences creates ongoing stress. Focus on positive affirmations and self-talk.

6. Fortify Your Health. Eating right, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly relieve feelings of stress and anxiety and energize your brain, body, and emotions. Making healthy choices can reduce stress.

This Stress Awareness Month, remember that it's impossible to eliminate all stress from your life. But, by keeping in mind these six stress-busting strategies, you are improving your life and reducing a significant contributor to major depressive disorder.
