I know I have posted these tips
before but I was reminded of them again through another blog I have just read
and then lo and behold, I have just received the same email from a friend - so
very appropriate to re-post these tips which are brilliant.
An excellent reminder
2 ND. Thes. 3:16 May the Lord who gives peace give you peace
at all times and in every way. May the Lord be with all of you.
"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."
CHRISTIAN
WAYS TO
REDUCE STRESS ...
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.
Romans 8:31 "If God is for us, who can be against us?"
