CHRISTIAN WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS ...

Dear all , wisdom from the bible for your reading.

CHRISTIAN WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS ...

An Angel says, 'Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.'

1. Pray

2. Go to bed on time.

3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.

4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.

5. Delegate tasks to capable others.

6. Simplify and unclutter your life.

7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)

8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.

9. Face yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't dump the hard things all together.

10. Take one day at a time.

11. Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety . If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.

12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.

13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.

14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.

15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.

16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.

17. Get enough rest.

18. Eat right. (Indulge in moderation is the best way.)

19 Get organized so everything has its place.

20. Listen to tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.

21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.

22. Every day, find time to be alone.

23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.

24. Make friends with Godly people.

25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.

26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good 'Thank you Jesus.'

27. Laugh.

28. Laugh some more!

29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.

30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).

31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).

32. Sit on your ego.

33 Talk less; listen more.

34. Slow down.

35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.

36 . Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.


'If God is for us, who can be against us?' (Romans 8:31)

Singapore Children Not Eating Right

Hi concerned parents and especially mothers...

I just came across this article with the above heading... and the subheading "Mother knows best... or does she?" really put the pressure on us (mothers)!

As if we do not already have the pressure and having to tackle this very issue day in and day out, these headings really put a punch into our faces.

I REALLY wonder who they surveyed. I believe many educated mothers are quite well-informed about nutrition and are constantly exchanging ideas as to how they could better themselves in this area. Everyone should know of the inclusion of fruits and vegetables in their children's diets are crucial. Many can't control their children's eating (myself included) of snacks and tibits since the school or childcare center they go to often "provide" them - at the canteen or birthday goodie bags. I am guilty of allowing my younger son to snack but as long as he's taking his due meals and snacks only after he had his meals, I think it's fine but also in moderate amounts.

The article came with a sample meal suggestion that one may try it out. Even though I know my younger son will never try them at all but if he does, it'll be a VERY SLOW process ... well, better than nothing.

Best of wishes to all struggling mothers out there.

Health Issues - Raising Healthy Children in Trans-Fats World

Dear Concerned Parents and Readers

We hear so many news of trans-fats and where they are commonly found - in foods that both children and adults loved - chips, crackers, doughnuts, etc.

Here's a good news that the FDA (USA) had regulated that all in the food industry is to label their products with the amount of trans-fats in them ... so do check out the labels and check for as near 0 (zero) trans-fats as possible.

Go here and click on the video "Raising Healthy Kids" to learn tips on how to do so - for you and your family's sake.

I also suggest watching "Detox Your Diet: Eating for Energy" and pick up some Yoga exercises too!

Enjoy!
