Recently I heard about the challenge of implementing activities into your day to promote a "daily D.O.S.E." of feel good neurotransmitters/hormones. These four neuro happy chemicals are dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. Each serves a unique physiological purpose within your body and can affect things like anxiety levels, productivity, and digestion.

I believe that God created us so specifically to live an abundant life, and in this episode we're talking all about the activities you can do to promote the production and release of happy hormones into your body naturally! We'll also be diving into the importance of making these activities routine, what a deficiency of each neurotransmitter does to your body, and how you can avoid toxic activities that deplete your stores of them.

We're taught over and over about the importance of forgiving others in order to be forgiven ourselves, but recently I learned that there is another step that comes before being forgiven... Repentance.

We often wonder why those who have hurt us refuse to apologize to or reconcile with us, but rarely do we assess our own histories to see if there's anyone we've hurt who may be wondering the same thing about us.

The Bible commands us to confess our transgressions and to make things right with people we've hurt, but why do we find it so hard to do so?

In this episode we'll be talking about why we must repent, who we need to repent to, the benefits of apologizing, and how to go about it. Plus, I'll be sharing my own recent story of repenting to someone whom I had tried to forget and how the Lord used it to teach me a thing or two about forgiveness.

No matter the hurt we've experienced, bitterness creeping into our lives can cause a lot of pain, and eventually we're all confronted with the call to forgive. But, despite our best efforts, sometimes we're left disappointed and confused about why the pain of the past is not subsiding.

I used to think that the right mix of words perfectly strung together in prayer would magically release the weight of unforgiveness so that I never had to look back at the hurt or the people who caused it. But eventually I learned that forgiveness is more than a one-time phrase or confession- it is, like all spiritual disciplines, a daily practice.

Join me in part two of our series as we talk through four ways to practice forgiveness on a daily basis so that you can move forward in your healing journey.
