STRESS!!
It has been a stressful week for me........how do I handle it you might ask!
There are MANY stress relief options.
How do I handle it?!
Prayer, that is the first place I go. Into my prayer closet where I can release my stress and lift it up to HIM because anything over my head is still under HIS feet....besides HE already knows.
I also like to exercise my stress away. Obviously life has been going to smoothly lately. LOL
Seriously, a brief walk or bike ride really can be a stress reliever for me. I can just clear my mind during this time of walking or riding.
Another way I like to relieve stress....go for a ride in the car. Sometimes I am topless ~ wind blowing in my hair, enjoying fresh air and breathing in the fresh smells of the world! (sometimes those smells include the chicken coops, oops) Other times the top is up, I am in the passenger seat and I am just enjoying what HE has made. How can you live in a place like Salisbury where the city is a little busy and in just a couple of miles you are out of town and in the country? We are blessed to have the country so near, to be able to stop at farms and buy fresh produce!!
My friend use to just drive over the new bridge in Charleston, SC and this helped clear her mind.
Is this running away from our stress/problems? I don't think so, I think it is coping with it.
How ever you deal with stress is up to you, these are just a couple of things that help me. We can not continue to live in the stress of life, we need to release it sometimes, to see a different view, to refresh ourselves. Life is a journey we take one day at a time. Live it!!
