The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Post

Even Jesus Christ prioritized His personal well-being during His mortal ministry. Jesus Christ is the perfect example of caring for other people. He healed the sick, raised the dead, forgave sins, and taught His disciples with love and compassion. But the scriptures also tell us that He took time to be still—that when life was noisy and exhausting, He sought the solitude of mountaintops. Sometimes, low energy and a sense of burnout indicate that your body and spirit could use some attention. Caring for ourselves helps us have the energy to bless the lives of others. Here are some simple ideas to prioritize self-care: #SelfCare #WellbeingAtWork #CareerAdvice

"On this Mother's Day, I have reflected about how our Heavenly Father's plan of salvation was entirely dependent upon the heroic actions of two valiant women: Eve, the mother of all living, and Mary, the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ. "These heroic actions continue today, as women from all walks of life— and in every circumstance imaginable-give the precious gift of a mortal body to God's beloved sons and daughters. How grateful I am for my own mother, who impacted my life for good in more ways than I could ever describe. "Because motherhood plays such a vital part in the success of our societies and in the fulfillment of God's plan for His children, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints continuously collaborates with dedicated leaders and charitable organizations to improve conditions for mothers and children around the world. "Earlier this year, the Church participated with the Nursing and Midwifery Development Center to open a 36,000-square-foot training facility to train nurses and midwives in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. This facility will help women and children survive and thrive. "In Memphis, Tennessee, USA, the Church has collaborated with the NAACP to create the MyBaby4Me initiative, designed to help equip mothers with the knowledge they need to care for their young children and reduce infant mortality rates. "In both of these instances, the Church participated with extraordinary women to implement these tremendous efforts. The day-in, day-out influence women from every circumstance have as they lift, mentor, encourage, console, teach, and love others is remarkable. In other words, women mother us all. "On this Mother's Day, I salute all women who give tirelessly of themselves to make life better for all of us." —President Russell M. Nelson, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints #mothersday #happymothersday

While browsing the Church’s website, Jordan Foutin stumbled upon the Starting a Side Business group from Employment Services. He was intrigued by the idea of venturing into entrepreneurship with the goal of his enterprise becoming his full-time endeavor. He joined the group and has had a fantastic experience. According to Jordan, one of the program’s standout aspects is the opportunity to learn from fellow entrepreneurs’ successes and setbacks. Understanding their diverse backgrounds, educational paths, and professional challenges has provided Jordan with invaluable insights into entrepreneurship. He described the group as “a treasure trove of like-minded and hearted individuals united by the goal of positively impacting the world.” “If anybody is considering ‘could I attend the Starting Your Own Business workshop?’ My answer is ‘Yes. Do it. You won’t regret it.’” Jordan has since launched a few products, and his business continues to grow daily. His story is a testament to the power of community, mentorship, and lifelong learning. It reminds us that anyone can pursue entrepreneurial dreams with the proper support and mindset.
