Try Softer: A Fresh Approach to Move Us out of Anxiety, Stress, and Survival Mode--and into a Life of Connection and Joy

by Aundi Kolber

Now recite the following to yourself as you breathe from your heart’s center: May I experience Christ’s love. May I experience Christ’s peace. May I experience Christ’s presence. May I experience Christ’s compassion.

I pray you remember to be gentle with yourself as you grow, knowing condemnation never leads us onward but instead stunts the process. May you courageously continue on and move forward in your own story. And when you are weary, may you never—no, never—lose heart.
