Christian Stress Relievers
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 to 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 every day.
16. Carry a Bible
with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough exercise.
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
thoughts and inspirations down.
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 yourself not 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)
