[QUOTE="Jim Daly with Paul Batura, post: 4047"] Here’s a discouraging fact: You’re probably not as healthy as you think you are. According to a long line of psychological studies, we tend to see ourselves as better than we are. Social scientists call this the [I]Better-Than-Average Effect[/I]. We’re compelled to put our best face forward and suppress our inadequacies. We look like we have it together on the outside even when we don’t have it together on the inside. The last year and a half has shown how important it is to take care of ourselves emotionally, physically, relationally, and spiritually. How?

To that end, we’ve invited author Debra Fileta to be our guest on our Focus on the Family Broadcast “[URL='https://www.focusonthefamily.com/episodes/broadcast/What-to-Do-When-You’re-Not-Okay-pt1']What to Do When You’re Not Okay[/URL]” to help you better understand your emotions; to assess your mental, physical, and spiritual health; and to give you a path toward healing and wholeness. To achieve those things, you need a proper perspective of who you are and who God has called you to be.
