Can someone download the Headspace app and see if it's good or bad. I heard it was really good for anxiety and i had it downloaded it but i never used it anyway so i just deleted it. But now with the recent conversation I'm curious. Ignore the title of it and just download it, read around some of the info/exercises and see? Apparently there's tons of science/studies, etc. Saying it's good/really works/helps your brain etc. but if it's bad then i wont but idk.

There's a technique called brain gym that you might like. I don't have any information on it, but it's a series of exercises that work to engage both hemispheres of the brain at the same time. Helps to calm the nervous system. A lot of teachers use it in their class room. All of the brain gym material that I've seen and used is good, and appropriate.

Those sound interesting, I didn't even know there were apps for anxiety. If I try Headspace I'll let you know how it works @KDOGG331

If there is a stirring in your heart? God definitely calling you to do something, maybe start with the small things you feel passionate about. God has put that already in your heart only you can answer and know about. He also equipt the gifts and talent you needed, it just need to be rediscovered as you obey the desire of your heart in His will. Just follow His leads, he will shut the doors He doesn't want you to enter.

Idk if you saw my other post but basically I had this experience a few years ago where I felt like really moved to volunteer at this summer camp for foster kids after watching this movie (Camp, great movie. It's on Netflix) but I chickened out like 2 or 3 years in a row then forgot about it. Then just last night I saw this video on FB about this guy that started making like care packages for foster kids, like a duffel bag filled with a stuffed animal and toiletries, etc. And I Googled it and there's tons of other groups that do the same thing but with different bags or different items, same basic premise, some groups are quite large, others smaller, but same goal, make them feel more dignified/safe and no more trash bags for their stuff.

So ANYWAY.

Between the experience a few years ago and now this, I feel like God really wants me to do something to help foster kids/kids in general

And i ignored it the first time cause i knew itd be really hard and i was scared. But i might start small like with the bags
