WE NEED A BREAK | dealing with stress and anxiety

I don't know what I'm supposed to do, the cars weren't letting me stop and the bikes were not driving on the sidewalk. We've been so stressed out lately to be honest with the amount of content we're like trying to do and projects that y'all don't even know about yet that are happening behind the scenes and so we are going to show you kind of how we handle stress and today's a good day to practice handling stress in a good way yes we are going to the beach we were like you know what instead of just working more we need to actually take a break and go to the beach and fill our own cup that way we can when we get back to work we have more energy and inspiration and all the things because you cannot pour out from an empty cup so we're gonna show you guys how we kind of just honestly have fun right we need to have fun if there's a true blessing to a work-life balance and that is what we're trying to kind of figure out and once we figure it out we'll let you know but today we are going to the beach you know download a movie go play some pickleball eat some fish tacos get some Sun yeah the beach we're going to is called Reddington Beach it's really close to st. Pete but Chad's family has actually been going to this little hotel for like what 20 something years like 27 years 27 years and it's not a lot like the place is it's it's very it's very very humble it's a very sweet place but what's great is that there's only like I don't know maybe 20 guest rooms total and so it's very like secluded there's not many people there at all which is really really nice and so yeah this is why I don't like doing it while we're driving maybe we're doing the best we can anyways so you're about to hear some noise in like five and like two seconds I don't know if you can hear that but my parents used to always play this game with my brother and me where whenever you're going over that little bridge that opens up for both to drive underneath it you have to make the same noise that that bridge makes as you drive over it and so we would always try to distract each other before the bridge is there that way we try to catch people sleeping and the winner got like a prize and so we didn't make the noise I didn't make the noise what's the noise it's what it sounds like when you drive over it oh gosh anyways fun little family tradition what up guys this is our little setup got our books all the things in the bags about to do some R&R there's some dolphins right up here they should come up in three two one zero now wow it actually worked oh my gosh it actually worked are you joking me right now Wow what a time to be alive this part of the video is called rest you see as Christians whenever we're stressed out with work our first response should be to rest not to work harder in the story of creation God created everything including Adam in six days and he rested on the seventh day so Adams first day here on earth was spent resting and the work that God had completed and we're called to do the same rest and the work that God has completed this right here ladies and germs it's called a sandbar look at that ankle deep amazing this is my happy place this is the place I feel closest to Jesus it's just seriously so heavenly I mean look at this wow wow holy cow how now Leroy Brown honest wife and all the town I got the phone wet I literally saw that coming oh my god where are you baby she's gonna end up falling in the water it's kind of bright don't know don't know if we can see you or not for this part of the video we're gonna be talking about remembering your purpose remembering your why and why you do what you do and we Tori and I got this thing in the mail just like a day ago or two days ago and we haven't opened it yet because we wanted to just the cover looks really special yeah so we wanted to video us opening it but we didn't know if that would be post on the vlog or anything and so but then when we started recording this video and it started to become more about resting refueling relaxing reading all the stuff we're like okay remembering your purpose is one of those and so yeah so this is something that's from a subscriber look at this guys oh my oh my goodness holy cow Wow whoa no there's like multiple pages of this yeah there's four pages my goodness gracious someone put so much time and effort into this four pages Tori and Chad end screen encouragement dear Tori and Chad I'm one of your many subscribers on YouTube like most of your followers I've been deeply impacted by the videos you create you're both incredible role models and your Christ centered content is refreshing for social media one aspect that has stood out to me since I found your channel six months ago is the end card in the last 10 seconds of your video they are thoughtful inspiring and a powerful way to wrap up the topic you've discussed I have been moved by so many of them that I started writing all the encouraging sentiments you included at the end of your videos I figured if I'm keeping track you may want a visual record as well oh my gosh thank you both for using your gifts from God to continually lift others up thank you Danielle let's open it let's see one of them okay oh wow oh my gosh oh I remember this one yeah we don't get harmony when everyone sings the same note only notes that are different can harmonize the same is true with people Wow don't forget some quiet time a day keeps the anxiety away oh my gosh as you're dealing with hardship and struggles and doubts or wondering why you're doing what you're doing remember try to remember your why in it because we're so thankful that we get reminders like this from you all that it keeps us remembering the why that way we don't lose focus we don't lose sight and we don't lose heart it is so sweet and I think it's specifically encouraging to us right now because as you know like what Troy was sharing in the beginning of the video where we're just working on putting out so much content but we can't do that unless our cups are full first you know and some of these things that we get from you all really do fill our cups and so thank you for those when I'm sorry some of the things all the things I just didn't want to say it to where they felt like they needed to no you know what I mean I didn't want to say it like that like oh you have to send the stuff or else we won't get filled you know it reminds us of why we're doing what we're doing and furthering the kingdom and encouraging you guys is the why behind everything we do and so these little tokens are just really really special and we'll keep forever and so yeah so I think it's safe to say that we're not gonna ride off into the sunset yet we have more content coming at you that we're super excited about we don't know if we're gonna end here but we love you
