: Your journey is unique; comparing it to others' only steals your joy.
: Faith communities and the Bible emphasize that God sees beyond outward appearance to the inner self. Recognize that being part of a spiritual body can include a celebration of diversity rather than a demand for conformity.
: Prioritize your mental and spiritual health by reading, learning new skills, and surrounding yourself with positivity.
: Use prayer as a tool to tell God what you need and to find a "peace that exceeds understanding" during difficult times.
: Speak life into your situation and focus on the gifts your unique perspective brings to your community.
