Ways To Reduce Stress

Good Morning Everyone,

Have any of you ever felt stressed?

I think all of us experience this. Truly, life's
journey brings us all many common experiences.
If only we thought about that rather than focusing
on each other's differences. But that is a subject
for another day.

Today, I would love to help you refocus on how
to let go of what is disturbing you today, and find
joy in the day. Everyone you know has burdens,
heartaches, a past, and things to face. This being
said, some people really handle it better than others.
The secret? They have learned mental techniques
to not obsess over what is wrong, but to work past
their problems by facing what they can do something
about and working on it. And what they cannot do
something about they do not carry as a burden.

It is all about attitude. To me a attitude of gratitude
is very important. It is a new day, a new chance at
enjoying life, a day to set goals. Yesterday is past,
we don't need to carry it's worries or mistakes. Let
us live in today... and make it the very best we can.

If we did this everyday, we could look on our past
with much more peace, knowing we did the best
we could regardless of our circumstances.

Love

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace,
and things wherewith one may edify another.
Romans 14:17-19

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing,
that you may ABOUND IN HOPE, through the power of the
Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13
