Stress Relief

What are our alternatives to a stressful life? First we recognize that we are stressed. Find out what the stressors are and address the issues with appropriate actions.

“A research of Dr. Hebert Benson of Harvard Medical School reveals that 60 to 90 percent of all visits to doctors’ offices in the United States are for stress- related conditions and that most stress-related conditions are poorly treated by conventional medicine.”

Benson is a medical doctor and the founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical institute. It is no secret that most of us are frustrated with conventional medicine, because we are not seeing desired results, yet some of us sit back and complain, but when are we going to take the initiative to seek out other avenues to better health?
Do you let your mind trip you up about the dysfunctions of your family and of your past? Seek God’s guidance or directions before attempting to look for a job or start a business, during you job search process, the acceptance phase and while working on the job.

Some people on the other hand may have done all of the above, but some of their coworkers, did not and their conduct, etiquette, character and attitude are so far fetched that it is almost impossible to be working in the environment with them.

The Bible clearly states that we should:
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matt. 6:33).
“Well then you might say, I did seek God’s guidance and I am having a difficult time on my job.” Then I suggest you look at the situation, God might be trying to tell you something. Try to figure out what that might be.

If you can’t figure it out ask God, He will tell you. “I have been asking Him, but I am not hearing from Him”. Ask Him to show you pictures of the things you need to hear from Him about.

Sometimes you might just have to take a step away from your present situation. It might just be that, that season of your life is over, that chapter has ended and it is time to move toward the greater things ahead for you.

I feel that sometimes God is showing us that it is time to find another job, a business of your own and be sure to find your true purpose and to act upon it. I believe if you feel miserable on your job or if you do not fit in, you are not where God ordained for you to be. If you truly believe in God, he wants you to have joy. “Count it all joy.”

I hear pastors preach all the time, that, “if God allows you to loose your job, He has something bigger and better for you. Have faith and know that total dependence on God, requires unwavering faith.
When you feel that my faith is not strong enough, pray for deeper faith.

Reflect on the great men of faith in the Bible, like Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, the people of Israel and many others. Focus on overcoming adversities and become victorious. Listen to you heart and the Holy Spirit and ignore what your flesh and your mind are telling you. The flesh and the mind tend to lie a lot and the last thing you want to do is to get caught in that trap. Surrender your plan to the will of God and watch the process unfold.
