What To Do When Stressed
Ponder this. What do you do when you need a little diversion from the everyday stresses of life? Do you work out or go for a run? Perhaps you do CrossFit, a crossword puzzle, or cross-stitch. Some people even enjoy shopping to relieve stress.
In fact, retail therapy is a real thing. Going shopping often makes us feel better about ourselves, even if it's just for a little while. But what usually ends up happening with retail therapy is that we buy things we don't need with money we don't have to soothe an emotional pain that can't be healed by the stuff we buy, which starts the buying cycle all over again.
When you are under stress, consider taking a deep breath and quiet your mind and your soul. Spend some time in quiet reflection, asking the Lord to provide you with peace in your life. And remember, you can always go to the Lord's mother and ask her for help. She brings all of your requests directly to her son, and he always listens to his mother.
