Day 4
Today, when stress mounts, I pray to dismount it with gratitude. My stress management plan will be intervention with, verbal thanks. I can only feel one feeling at a time, and I choose to give thanks at all times. Fight feeling with feeling!
Having a newborn in the house, homeschooling, and trying to keep a house operating can have its stressful moments! Don't we all have those moments where we think ... if I lock myself in the bathroom I can have maybe 2 minutes to myself! If you haven't tried that, don't bother ... they find you!! :)
With that said though, there are really just days where things don't 'feel' great. Maybe there's so much going on that my spirit just gets overwhelmed within me. It is in those times that I am trying to remember that I can only experience one feeling at a time. If I start to give God thanks for all that He has done, and is doing, than I find that state of being overwhelmed is suddenly in the past. My focus is on the joy of what He is doing!
The next time you feel stressed, maxed out, or just tired of the everyday routine ... praise Him! You will be amazed how it lifts your spirits and gives you a new take on things. Myself included!
