Weekend Seed Thought: Reducing Stress and Anxiety

	Seed Thought for this Weekend Sent weekly to over 100,000 Christian families and growing. Reducing Stress and Anxiety It seems helpful to share a few brief thoughts about overcoming what we could call Ordinary Stress and Anxiety. Clinical or acute depression and anxiety is different and should be treated by a professional. Ordinary Stress and Anxiety is the kind of stress that we experience in the natural course of our daily lives. As People of Faith, our felicity and peace of mind is enhanced through prayer. Prayer lifts us above the storms in life. Although we may still be emotionally wrestling with the difficulties in front of us, we have found a measure of inward peace through prayer. Another way to relieve stress and anxiety is discipline. The undisciplined life is a stressful life. Jesus said, my yoke (or a disciplined life) is easy and my burden is light. It is easier to bear the yoke of discipline than the painful shackles of stress and anxiety. Simplicity will also reduces stress and anxiety. Christian simplicity is simple living. It’s unraveling the more complicated parts of our life and refusing to live an immoderate and complicated life. Simplicity is a personal choice after we have honestly considered all the variables that are unique to us. And the little choices we make along the way.
