DAY 37

Steps to Reduce Stress

1) Solve the problem- If you are stressed due to too many demands or responsibilities,
review day 8 cutting back on activity.
review day 27 to respond to negative thoughts.
2) Relax- Breathe and relax your body using relaxation techniques
3) Change your mindset-If you are chronically stressed you may be functioning under a set of your own unrealistic rules.
For example I should always make people happy, or I should always do my best.


Think through whether these are God honoring rules? or is the god you are truly serving "yourself" as you strive to feel good about yourself. The chief end of man as per the catechism is to " glorify God and enjoy him forever".
This should eliminate much stress : to glorify God you "depend on him".
