Stupid stress with its stupid stress-inducing ways.
Stress happens to all of us from time to time, but we don't have to let it rob our joy or get us down.
So, here are five ways you can give ol' stress a punch in the gut and keep your cool :):
- MUSIC. Crank those speakers up and throw on some Jamie Grace or MercyMe (links of some of their amazing songs are provided for you... you're welcome). Sing as loud as you can, even if no one wants to hear you sing. And dance... even if you look like a fool... Bust it. Feel that stress melting away... ah....
- Make crazy selfies (or usies as they are calling them now) with your kids.
- Eat some chocolate. Or a lot of chocolate. Oh, chocolate... you are my friend. But don't eat too much or then you'll stress about how long it will take you to burn that off at the gym :)
- Watch some funny videos online... This is a good one :).
- Pray... Actually, do this before you do any of the above... If there is anyone who gets stress better than anyone, it's Jesus. He's been there... and He wants to be there for you. So let it out... tell Him all about it and feel the peace that can only come from our Heavenly Father.
If today was stressful, I'm sorry... I'm praying that tomorrow is full of laughter and good news for you :).
