Stress, worry, angst, fear, nervous, anxiety

Stress is a normal part of life, we even have a whole set of hormones in her body, referred to as “stress, hormones.“ Stress can also be paralyzing, demoralizing, and destructive.
There was a time a little more than 20 years ago when I was pretty convinced that my wife, then, my girlfriend, was trying to check out on our relationship. She’s been distancing herself, mostly because she was afraid the commitment we were heading toward, but I didn’t know that. I got to where I was anxiety, twisted up inside all the time. I would constantly check my phone to see if she called or texted. In the midst of that, I found the phone.
“ “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.”
‭‭Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/59/php.4.5-8.ESV
Our society is currently obsessed with the shortest, quickest tip, or trick to get anything done. The reality is, there are very few, if any healthy ways to quickly deal with anxieties, worries and fears. These take time and practice.
  1. Find something to be grateful for, to rejoice about
  2. Find another one
  3. Don’t take your stress out on others
  4. The Lord is ALWAYS near
  5. Pray thankfully
  6. Tell Him your concerns
  7. His astonishing peace will guard your heart and mind
 
None of that is a quick tip. The principles are incredibly simple, but they’re not fast or easy. These take time, submission, and a willingness to hear from the Lord. It works, but you have to go through the whole process, sometimes over and over. Lean on a brother, talk to someone, post regularly. You are not alone!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Our company looks to hire people that have a curiosity for buildings and how buildings are put together.  Imagine going to a doctor and finding out the doctor doesn’t have a curiosity for how the body works.  I’m not sure I’d want that doctor working on me.

I had an employee one time that was young and new.  We gave her a project to design with wood and she didn’t know the size of a 2×4.  Was a startling revelation that she was designing a building with material she didn’t even understand.

This brings me to the below quote that I just found.
People in organizations need to develop a fascination for what doesn’t work. @kenblanchard #leadership

Just like having curiosity in life, everyone should have a fascination for what doesn’t work.  Having this fascination may lead you down a path where you find a solution.

    • Plank Reach Throughs & Side Raises (surprisingly difficult)

From As a Man Thinketh – “A change of Diet will not help a person who will not change his thoughts. When a person makes his thoughts pure, he no longer desires impure food.” – James Allen

Stress eating, grazing, overeating, overindulging – call it what you will. This is something that I have struggled with for my entire life. Judge’s comments in the weekly newsletter motivated me to talk about it in the COT. A devotional or article that I came across in the last couple of months told me that when we surrender to Christ that we are FREE from all SIN in our life. Whatever we are holding onto is something that we haven’t yet surrendered. This is my stress eating habit. I was praying into it and felt like I was given permission to eat “all that is Holy”. What is all that is Holy? I ask God in a jokingly manner – “everything you pray over” is what came to mind next.

Man, what a realization!!?! I never pray over the handfuls of candy, or scoop(s) of peanut butter that I find myself eating. I never pray over my 3rd or 4th cup of coffee and never I have asked God to bless a 2nd helping of Ice Cream.

What if instead of just impulsively eating whatever carbohydrate or sugar laced item I can find… I said a prayer and asked God to bless it? Can it really be this simple? I tell you, like most rewarding things in my life. It is that simple, at least it seems to be, but it’s not easy. I wish I could tell you that I have absolutely mastered it and have given this sin away to be free once & for all from it’s grasps. Instead I tell you, that I’m in the middle of the fight. I’m in the battle. I’m still getting beat up. But… I’m glad to be in the fight!

According to James Allen, it starts with making my thoughts pure.

MOLESKIN:
Tabata is great way to push yourself. It’s only 20 seconds of work… how hard could that be? Apparently there are some good Tabata Timers out there and I don’t have to use the prerecorded, covers that these dudes were jazzed about.
