How Can You Encourage Yourself?
Please contact us if you have any comments, questions, or encouragement.
Have faith and encourage yourself daily by praying, reading your Bible, and fellowship with other believers! Putting God first, others second, and yourself last might sound counterintuitive, but your life will be more meaningful. We need to guard our hearts and minds, for that is where the devil attacks us; we need to put the full armor of God on.
When I attended Elmbrook Church for 23 years, I was so thankful that they taught me many important things, such as for me to guard my heart, my eye gate, and my ear gate, and to keep my eyes on God, be ready to hear Him, and be prompted to do His will, not your own will. Try to encourage others in any way you can, for when we encourage others; we will naturally be encouraged as a by-product of our encouraging others! ~ Bill Greguska
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Encourage Yourself To Seek God’s Love!
People often feel dissatisfied because they don’t feel like others appreciate them. Other times they think that they are not good enough. That is very easy to understand because we all want to be valued. Our happiness should not depend on what others think about or say to us; instead, our goal should be pleasing God.
Do what God’s word teaches us in the Bible that we know is right and good for us. If your goal is to please yourself, you set yourself up for discouragement and rejection. The solution is to encourage yourself by living your life to please and honor God and others at the same time when possible, but don’t forget about yourself. You need to take care of your body, mind, and soul. ~ Bill Greguska

Here Are Some More Ways You Can Encourage Yourself!
Don’t follow how you feel. Obey what God’s Word says if you want to encourage yourself.
- Focus on funny things and keep looking for the bright side, even when discouraged or depressed. Laughter does so much to heal us that it is foolish not to keep that in mind. Could you try it and see what I mean?
- Do something you enjoy that gives you pleasure or happiness or gives other people happiness and joy. When we encourage others, it is so often then that we become encouraged. Reach out to others for help, and don’t forget to reach out to others to help them.
- Often, people find that doing things for others helps their problems seem a little smaller, or at the very least, gets their minds off their troubles.
- Exercise is so crucial! No matter what you do, whether it is just going for a walk or going to the gym, it is essential to keep your body moving and your heartbeat up. Simple stretches are a great thing to warm up your body.
- Do as much as your doctor allows you to do, and then do it at least 2-3 times a week and a minimum of 15-45 minutes each time, which will help your mood significantly.
