Christian Ways to Reduce Stress

Christian Ways to Reduce Stress

Ten years ago a co-worker gave me this list and I have kept a copy of it on my desk ever since. It is still relevant today and I hope you find it helpful on this “Feel Good Friday”

  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 unclutter your desk

  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 concern. 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 kid in you

  16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line (there’s an app for that now)

  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 picjumbo.com_HNCK5063

  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)
