A Great Way to Destress Yourself

Today, I'd like to discuss a great way of destressing you.

Hey, hey!

How are you doing this day?

I pray you are alright and are taking the time to lift yourself, one day at a time and every day.

As you may notice, I talk about ways to heal the hurt and repeat my posts differently. What I mean is I talk about creating stress relief habits by developing inner peace and quieting the mind a lot but in different ways. 

There are three reasons I do this.

First, you will find peace in quieting the mind because it is one of the most potent ways to connect to God. 

"Be still and know that I am God." ~Psalm 46:10, Old Testament, Holy Bible, KJV 

Second, if I write about it differently, I can and will eventually persuade the stressed person to destress. One way or another, I may convince the suffering individual to choose and use their free agency and power to find relief through focus.

Third, remembering, reminding, and repetition are great ways to recondition stressful habits into destressing habits.

So...

Here I go...

A great way to Destress Yourself is to intentionally enjoy the moment you are in. 

We often think of all the things we must do, what may happen tomorrow, or what happened yesterday. If we can intentionally take the time to enjoy the moment we are in, we will discover a great way to relieve stress.

When people are young, it is so easy to have fun and play, but then life sets in, and adults teach us and train us to take life too seriously. Sometimes we are trained out of enjoyment because it is replaced with fear.

So, sometimes we must retrain ourselves in happiness and joy. Sound familiar? If so, try this...

When eating chocolate or a delicious meal, notice every bite, focus on the moment, and enjoy. 

And...

When conversing with someone you love or like, notice the time you spend together and enjoy. 

This is intentional living. 

This is choosing to stop the thoughts of other things and focus on savoring the moments. 

One of my favorite things is focusing on the moment I am in. I quiet my mind and focus on the person I am with and where I am. I just quiet my mind and savor the person and place. I find complete enjoyment at that moment. I feel God at that moment.

This is one of my quieting the mind and finding inner peace practices.

Sounds simple, and it is absolutely amazingly fantastic! 

Give it a try! 

Put savoring into practice, and you can Destress Yourself anytime and anywhere.

Remember, the practice creates permanence.

Have a great day, my dear friend!

Don't forget to have fun! 

Choose to be playful!

Short and sweet! 

Straight to the meat!

I did it!

Love! Love! Love!

All I got is love for you!

February Fun!

Hey! Hey!!!

How are you doing today?

I am fantastico, as usual... (wink~wink, with tongue hanging out)

I pray, I pray that you are happy and safe today!

I'm linking the January 2019 posts here just in case you missed them, and I'm setting you up for February because we are going to have some fun!

Fun is oh so very important to happiness and joy. I believe that the more fun we have the more energy we have, and it takes energy to release and relieve stress.

So, if you are ready to have fun, I'm going to give you weekly activities slash experiments in February in honor of my Agape's birthday. That's my only noble offspring, and he is one of the funnest persons in the Universe.

Quick assignment for you though... get a journal! 

Something simple and inexpensive if you'd like, or something expensive and beautiful. It's up to you!

The goal here is to take a daily note for you. Just a sentence or two, or pages if you'd like. It's up to you!

This is so very powerful for three reasons: 

First, you get to see your progress. 

Second, you have something to look back on and give yourself a smile (trust me on this I've been writing in a journal since I was a little girl).

And finally, I believe with all my heart and soul that sacred words written here on earth are kept in heaven for all eternity because I believe God wants us to journal, it has a whole lot to do with faith. 

Bam! 

Fight me! 

LOL!

Just kidding, don't fight me, don't even believe me, do it, and find out for yourself. But do it for you, and just watch yourself begin to see your value and worth if you haven't REALLY seen it yet.

Here are the links to January's posts...

Letting Go of Stress by practicing appreciation more.

Connecting to God by practicing love more.

Purpose in Life in helping others.

Relieving Despair by being for others what you need for others to be for you.

Ignorance is NOT Bliss is about relief from feeling bad.

Is There a Science to Behavior? Is about using the science to heal and help yourself rather than continuing any hurt. 

Thank You! Just thanking you for the email.

Releasing Negative Emotions with a simple exercise to heal.

Repetition is a great law to learning.

It's all about focus and practicing into permanence.

Life is a science experiment, find out what works, and keep doing that.

We have the authority, power, and responsibility to govern our beliefs, and behaviors so that we may live a better life.

We are here to learn spiritual expansion and we do that by connecting to God and overcoming our habitual human hurtful behaviors.

That's it! 

Except, I love you!

And get that journal! 

Get it for you! 

Hug! Hug! Hug!
