Use the power of your thoughts and words to prophecy and change your life
Here is an excerpt from one of my favorite books change your words to change your life.
Today and everyday, claim for patience.
God has clothed me with patience,
Even when I am under trying circumstances, I discipline my thoughts and deny myself of giving in to impatience and irritability.
Even when I am under strain, I will act with self control and calmness.
I will respond positively to situations instead of reacting negatively.
Instead of grumbling, I will speak praise. In God’s name.
4) Manage Stress
There is no progress without action so you need to act to manage your stress.
Remember that NO situation nor any person can give you stress.
NO situation or person can upset you unless you give that person the right to hurt you.
Below are simple ways to help you manage stress.
- If hearing a person’s voice irritates you, imagine changing that voice to a sound of minion or any funny character of your choice. Changing the tone of the voice helps your mind to deal with the situation because it will change your emotional reaction.
- If somebody shouts at you, shouting back won’t make you feel better. Choose to be calm because nobody wins in a heated argument. Breathing deeply or changing your position by standing up or sitting or walking will calm you down.
- Before you sleep, recall all the bad memories that happened during the day. Write it down then throw it away. Throw the paper and all the negative emotions that goes with it.
- You may be the cause of stress for some people so choose the words that you use everyday. Words can hurt or heal, what did yours do today?
Take note that People will not remember what you say but they will never forget how you made them feel so choose your words at all times.
