> Stress is not what happens to us. It's our response to what happens. And response is something we can choose.

> Who knew there were so many smart people in this world?
>
> Not me!!
>
> Think about the quote above and put it into context with what we all seem to be experiencing lately.
>
> We have been harping on the FACT that worry is a wasted, useless, fear-based effort that does absolutely no good for anyone or any situation.
>
> So too have we tried to show that worry can be controlled and marginalized if we recognize it for what it is and take evasive action against it!
>
> Now we come to find that the end product of worry, the partner in crime to fear, STRESS is also avoidable and controllable.
>
> We are the authors and Captains of our lives and of our emotions.
>
> How often do you hear someone say, "I could have never held my anger back like you did."
>
> Or "I do not know how she is so happy after all that she has been through".
>
> These are examples of situations where we control or orchestrate our own emotions and reactions to events.
>
> People do it all the time. These people are no different than you and me, except they have found the secret before we did!!!
>
> Well, guess what? We have caught up now!!!
>
> Recognize the fact that we do indeed have power over how we react to negative issue, challenges, and trials.
>
> The key is to be ready to control tour reaction when something bad occurs, and make a conscious effort to guide your emotions away from stress and into peace and comfort in your faith.
>
> Keep prayers handy to distract yourself and literally, verbally, acknowledge turning all of your problems over to God and the Holy Spirit whenever you feel fearful or anxious.
>
> This too shall pass for all of us struggling with any issues, and we will emerge from all of this better, wiser, and stronger!!!
>
> That is God's will..
>
> Stay Strong!!!
