CHRISTIAN WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS

An Angel says,  “Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and  it doesn’t happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to  worry twice.”

1.  Pray

2. Go to bed on  time.

3. Get up on  time so you can start the day unrushed.

4. Say No to projects that won’t fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.

5. Delegate  tasks to capable others.

6. Simplify and unclutter your life.

7. Less is  more.. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)

8. Allow  extra time to do things and to get to places.

9. Pace  yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don’t lump the hard things all together.

10. Take  one day at a time.

11.  Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety. If you can’t do anything about  a situation, forget it.

12. Live within  your budget; don’t use credit cards for ordinary purchases.

13. Have  backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.

14. K.M.S. (Keep  Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of  trouble.

15. Do something  for the Kid in You everyday.

16. Carry a Bible with you to read while  waiting in line.

17. Get enough  rest.

18. Eat  right.

19. Get organized so everything has its  place.

20. Listen to a  tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.

21. Write down  thoughts and inspirations.

22. Every day,  find time to be alone.

23. Having  problems? Talk to God on the spot.. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don’t  wait until it’s time to go to bed to try and pray.

24. Make friends  with Godly people.

25. Keep a  folder of favorite scriptures on  hand.

26. Remember  that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good “Thank you  Jesus.”

27.  Laugh.

28. Laugh some  more!

29. Take your  work seriously, but not yourself at  all.

30. Develop a  forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).

31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the  most).

32. Sit on your ego.

33. Talk less;  listen more.

34. Slow  down.

35. Remind  yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.

36 . Every night  before bed, think of one thing you’re grateful for that you’ve never been  grateful for before. GOD HAS  A  WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU. “If God is for us, who can be against us?”   (Romans 8:31)
