HOW TO GET OUT OF A "FUNK" | feeling down & dealing with negative feelings

[@ToriAndChad]

What do you do when you are in a funk or feeling "off"?

[@a05_conradrudolphfernandes83]

Listen to music opposite to my mood!.... And sing loud alone at home 😂🤣🤣🤣

[@veritygrace1257]

Eat yummy snacks and take a long nap 😊

[@SamuelJayakumar]

1) worship 2) sleep

[@ToriAndChad]

YES THAT IS GOLD!

[@ToriAndChad]

hahah you are a mood, Verity!

[@vandaaltje]

I love how Chad was just looking at Tori how she was doing and just being there for her when she was crying! Accepting and acknowledging the hard moments but still being there for each other! You guys set a great example 🤍🙌🏼

[@ToriAndChad]

Thanks a ton, Wil J!!! I have to learn to not try and fix everything! hahah

[@vandaaltje]

@@ToriAndChad Haha I get that! Can be pretty difficult sometimes 🙈 But you're doing great man!

Psalm 30:5 “….weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning” A small practical tip, keep your hand on your heart and remind yourself - It’s not always going to be like this. You’ve encouraged me many times, and I hope you be encouraged too. 🌻

[@ToriAndChad]

that is so good, Renee! Thanks for sharing that!!!

I just have to call out what a light you two are. I’ve been watching you guys for about 6 months now and I’ve been really blown away by your last 2 videos. It’s uncommon to see a couple who values vulnerability and honesty on such a public platform. I feel like I truly see your hearts and it’s so refreshing, encouraging, and inspiring. My heart exploded when Tori started praying in one of your last videos for people who are in the midst of trials and I could feel how your heart was so set on those in need. It was genuine and precious. Thank you for having the courage to be set apart. The world needs it! The Lord honors this and I believe you will be rewarded in Heaven in such a sweet and intimate way one day. Who you two are in God is beautiful. I pray God blesses your marriage and each of you individually. I look forward to the videos to come. Your sister in Christ, Ashton ❤️

[@ToriAndChad]

You're so kind, Ashton! Thanks for being here with us in the highs and the lows!! It's because people like you that we feel confident to actually share what is going on...I just read your comment outloud to Tori and she is now crying.. happy tears hahah Thanks for praying for us and lifting us up...

[@hannsbananas]

It’s nice to help yourself and get out of a funk, but always good to remember you’re allowed to take a day off, you’re allowed to have a bad day, you’re allowed to feel down. Your feelings are valid. Anyone who needs to hear that, there ya go. 😅

[@ToriAndChad]

Amen!

[@jemimaabraham5329]

I was in a funk yesterday. And guess what helped me out of it? The Word from Messy masterpiece podcast! I was almost in tears when Tori started reading the love letter from God, and just then, she read the next sentence that said (God saying)"When you call to Me, I will catch your tear and tenderly comfort you." I felt God right beside me... it was so... (no words to explain). And getting to see this video today... really surprised!

[@ToriAndChad]

Aww that is so good, Jemima!! Thanks for sharing that!!! That is so powerful!!!

[@shaughnsmit2076]

So true in the description! My pastor explained it to me as a bowl full of water and as long as you keep adding things to the water, it stays murky and dirty. There is no time for the water to settle and let all the additive either sink - info that is substantial or float - unnecessary info that you can scrape off the top. Take a minute at stop adding things to your water bowl, take inventory and ask God to scrape the debris floating on top off.

[@ToriAndChad]

dang that is deep! I love that analogy! lol That is so good!

[@keana._]

your pastor really said: *mic drop*

[@octoberxdreams]

God’s timing is so perfect and he has prepared so much for us that we can ever be able to imagine or pray for. James 1:2-3 says: “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.”

[@michaellacoomber6640]

Wow 🌹a few days ago I had a dream where I found a verse that gave me soooo much peace about my season of waiting, but I didnt know which verse it was. The next day I listened to a sermon from my pastor and he preached about this verse. It was this verse and as I heard it I knew this was the verse that gave me peace in my dream. And now here I see it again without even looking for it 😁 thank you that God could speak to me through you 😱🌹❤️

[@jesussavedme6260]

For me, one of the most encouraging things is knowing that God's mercies are new every morning. I don't have to dwell on my shame because He has set me free! Thank y'all for sharing, this is a very timely post!

[@heather6404]

I often remind myself when I am feeling this way that. "God is good all the time, all the time God is good"

[@chanelle.n]

“we all go through ups and downs let’s enjoy the smiles and learn from the frowns” LOVE THAT ❤️

[@blessinaratna4426]

The past few days were really not going good for me. I was mentally disturbed and yesterday I sat down, prayed about it and just reminded myself of how great God is and how He has been faithful to me. I immediately felt God's peace "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27 Thank you so much for this video. I needed this. God bless

[@WordsPictures997]

" ... not questioning how good God is just because you're having a bad day ... " 🙌😭😭😭 I needed to hear that. Thank you Tori! Sending you prayer, hugs and so much love. Thank you so much Chad for the tip on writing down what your struggling with and ways to combat each especially for when things are recurring. Such a great video. Thank you so much guys!!! Especially for being so raw, honest and sharing ways to manage. "Joy and sorrow can coexist ... and that's okay. "

[@michellereeves8190]

I am so grateful for this video at this moment. I had the worst day of the year today (literally cried like 5 times), but this is reminding me to look after my mental and physical health and always look to God!

[@ToriAndChad]

[@katefitzpatrick973]

“God is good whether or not your day is good.” Wow thanks Tori and Chad! I really needed this today. Love your channel.

[@bitachocho]

I have been having bad health anxiety recently. I have dealt with it since january 2020 but by now I had already controlled it, then I saw a news of a girl my age getting breast cancer and my anxiety came back all over again. I feel so anxious all the time and I can not even imagine how that girl must be feeling. I keep praying for her but still feel so anxious. So what really helps me is listening to inspiring videos or talks, going on walks, focusing on the present moment and seeking all the beautiful things I can during this moment, journaling, taking pictures, texting or calling a loved one, painting and also listening to good music and eating fruits! God bless y'all hope that you overcome whatever you are struggling with! ♥️

[@ToriAndChad]

God bless you too... we are praying for your health and the anxiety... We are sure that things have been hard and we want you to know that you are not alone...

[@theauthenticart.]

Whenever I'm having an off day, I need to take a step back from whatever I'm doing, because I know my frustration will try and take over 🙃. Going for a walk around the neighbourhood or just exercising in general is always a big help. Plus, I now keep an album on my phone filled with screenshots of scriptures that I can read over and declare the promises of God over my life! ❤❤

[@CambriaThompson]

so the past 4 months have been so awful. words cannot explain the pain and grief i’ve experienced. my good friend died from stage 4 ovarian cancer at 19, domestic violence occurred in my family, my parents are getting divorced, my mission trip to Zambia was canceled for the second year in a row, and my dad was arrested. i’m hurting and going through a really tough time. but i’ve been going to the Lord with that sadness lamenting to him. i really want to avoid dealing with my emotions but i know i have to bring them to the Lord so he can provide healing. it’s hard. but i know the Lord’s character and that all of these terrible and awful things are not from him. he is separate from sin and he is sad with us. just thought i would share and be vulnerable because i know this is a safe space where we can all carry each other’s burdens

[@Eliz1723]

God lead me to your content (because you just showed up on my KZbin FYP the night I gave my life back to the Lord) and It’s becoming so clear why, your ministry is so vital and well curated, you’re real and raw, open and honest making anyone and everyone feel accepted and reminded of God’s love, plan and intervention in our lives! Absolutely love your channel and praying for you guys in your journey and ministry

[@emily_espinozaaa]

i can relate to tori in the sense that i’m usually the person that cheers people up when they’re down so i try to mask my sadness sometimes and i feel like sometimes that’s even worse bc you know the smile you put on your face to mask the pain is fake and you try to be a light for other people but you can’t even shine your light for your own darkness it’s tough:/

When I watched your wedding videos and the “how we met” videos it gave me so much hope and excitement to see what God has planned for me🥺 Thankyou for everything you guys do.

[@rachelwalden3756]

Chad and Tori, I know this season of waiting is so so hard. A phrase I have been clinging to of lately is “God is working in the waiting” because He truly is. Each month is a reminder that Gods timing is often not your own, but let it also be a reminder that He is doing far more than you can presently see. I truly understand this specific journey of waiting, through my sister and her husband trying to start a family, so I am so sorry for the discouragement, heartbreak and the complexity of emotions this often brings. Take courage, and trust Him. He is so good, so kind, and He is working. 💛

[@oceanlife9824]

Praying for your family that it will grow! I can relate in the sense that I am single and everyone around me is getting married, engaged, or pregnant! Trusting in the Lord is hard sometimes when you have/had a vision for your life. Some days I don’t think about it, but other days I can’t rid myself of the thought “Will I ever have a family?”.

[@SamuelJayakumar]

I am really looking forward to this video. Sorry for my little rant but July has not been kind. A lot of negative feelings were like bombarding me . Phew 😮‍💨

Being in the Word and practicing self care are definitely two of my favs. And watching ya'lls videos really lifts my spirits. I’m sorry you guys are going through this funk, but I’m praying for y’all and love you guys! You’ve brought so much joy into my life and in this season I’m going through. ❤️

Just discovered your channel! I'm so sorry you just got your period. This is always a really tough day for me, too. (My husband and I are in a season of waiting, too.) When I'm in a funk on that day, I normally let myself cry as I need to (often in my husband's lap), reach out to friends, and then exercise and eat extra healthy. It's a tough thing to talk about, but I appreciate your openness!

[@catherinecody3473]

Okay even when you guys felt off at the start of the day, you took a step and you started to do all that workouts, cleaning, and all other things, that's really incredible!

So, kindly pray for my dad and my family for healing.

For me, it's really important to make sure my anxiety is in check because I'm an expert at thought spiraling 😉 When you're used to having anxiety, sometimes it's hard to challenge it because feeling overwhelmed is just "normal". I know I always don't breathe enough when I'm anxious so this week I downloaded the Awesome Breathing app which just has a circle that grows and shrinks and you can select different breathing patterns. It's helping so far to have a tangible reminder to breathe. This week I'm also trying to build a habit of challenging my thoughts (is it true? Is it helpful?) and talking to myself (I am okay. I am safe. This will work out.)

[@brittanyhoward9186]

One thing I have found is very helpful, is whatever I feel I am lacking I try to give that to other people. Which I know this doesn’t work in every situation but sometimes it does! For example if I’m lonely I try to be a friend to someone, if I’m discouraged I give encouragement. 😁

First I try to think of time that I over came previous funks or how my perspective has changed since then, was it bigger than I thought. I love to listen to motivational videos like, Trust God, Impact Quotes, Uncommon Man, lots of Les Brown, his voice is powerful. Sometimes I'll focus on who can I help or who have I forgotten about who needs my help. It reminds me of what my purpose is. This was great timing for this video guys, I have been feeling a funk for a while, your vulnerability is really appreciated.

For me when I'm in a funk (esp if work has been crazy) I honestly just need time to process and rest alone with God. Putting on some worship or hymns. It helps a lot. That or going for a walk and talking to God along the way. A tip for you Tori: make sure Chad gets you that puppy! Fuzzy, cuddly pets definitely help relieve stress and get you out of funks 😉

[@moniqueaglibut4840]

What I love about this video is this is full of pure emotions where people can learn and relate during seasons of funk. Everyone struggles on different level but rest assured you'll all going to be well in God's perfect timing to lead you where you need to be (whether to have clear minds, or achieving your goals,or just simply having peace). Sometimes this moment of funk teaches us to pause and assess and to understand what God's plan for us. Wishing you both a better day ahead. It's ok to not feel ok, but always remember you are ok to grief on what you're going through but you don't have the obligation to stay on that period permanently. Life moves on whether you wish to move forward or not. Prayers do work too. Love you both. - (baby yoda,2021).

I've been reading in Psalms and feel this is meant for you: Psalms 138:6‭-‬8 NIV "Though the Lord is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly; though lofty, he sees them from afar. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me. The Lord will vindicate me; your love, Lord , endures forever- do not abandon the works of your hands." Psalms 139:7‭-‬12 NIV Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. You are never far from God. Hes always there for you :)

'Sometimes it takes an overwhelming breakdown to have an undeniable breakthrough'.... Since tough phases don't last and only tough people do... Thank you for sharing such vulnerable aspects of life too.. I'm sure it isn't easy but it really feels like we are all in it together! It's okay if you're not feeling okay.. and normalising this okay is so needed.. especially these days. Thank you for feeling comfortable enough to share such moments and truly treat us like family! I love this quote - 'If God is making you wait, be prepared to receive more than you asked for' ✨ Lots of love ❤ P. S - Happy birthday week Chad! Love the new editing.. great job!

[@ToriAndChad]

Thanks so much sweet Shweta!!! I got what you said about the tough times and tough people! (there is a meme about that and I love it! haha) We appreciate all the sweet and kind words about it being okay to not be "okay"! You are family to us!!! Love you!

[@shwetav]

@@ToriAndChad How very sweet of you to say that and mean it! Am so touched. Praying for you two!! You two symbolise beauty to its epitome.. inwards and outwards! In action and in words..!

[@ToriAndChad]

We love you!

[@El-Mazz]

Soooo love this video! Thanks for being so transparent. Am in a "FUNK" as watching this video.. and it already helps having a WORD for it 🤣.

[@iuliaturcas4348]

Tori and Chad, you two are such a joy to listen to and I always feel like I learn so much while I watch your videos! 🤍 You simultaneously feel like friends and mentors to me! Love your confidence and openness in the way you share your advice with us! Thank you for being such an amazing online presence!

[@ToriAndChad]

I can’t watch it until this afternoon. But I’m cheering y’all on and praying for power & love to come through to whoever needs it today. ❤️❤️

[@ToriAndChad]

Can't wait to hear what you think!!

[@Itsthenatashagrace]

@@ToriAndChad finally watched it! Joy and sorrow can coexist, God is constant in both. I’ve been in the process of learning what works for me, how I find peace and rest. I’m so stretched thin, more than I’ve ever been. And yet I still have a smile on my face! I didn’t even think I could function with all that’s on my plate but again, God is constant. ❤️ love seeing how you guys are walking this out. And Chad, get her some snacks lol

[@Damares57]

I love how you guys are so real !
