Stress Management and Relaxation Techniques

I know there are a lot of us that pray for people who are sick,or maybe someone that has lost a loved one,or for peace in the world,or maybe you even pray for a lost soul.Whatever it is you may pray for you do it out of the love and faith you have in your heart.Meditating through prayer just gives me a peaceful feeling inside.I guess you can see that when I pray I don’t pray like maybe a minister would pray.I know all about god,however I will be the first to admit I do not know a lot about the bible.

I understand the meaning of what the bible says but I do not understand a lot of the words.I basically should say I use meditation to just talk to god.I believe that the way I talk to god is the same way that people may pray to god. I went to church today and the minister was talking about another minister that liked to tell everyone he knew about everything he has done good in his life. He bragged so much that he really didn’t have the time to listen to what the people in his church needed. I guess you could say even though he preached an excellent sermon and did everything a minister should do,He just really couldn’t see that his pride was taking over his life.

After meditating for a few seconds are minister went on to tell a story of a very religious Christian man and a tax collector walked into a temple at the same time.You could tell when the tax collector walked in everyone stayed away from him because he was not well liked.The Christian man prayed that he would not ever turn out to be anything like the tax collector.The tax collector said a simple prayer asking god that he may be worthy of gods love.I’m sure the Christian man did a lot of good things in his life,But maybe he should have meditated about his pride.

The tax collector did not look down on anyone or asked god if he could be like someone else,he just asked to be worthy of gods love.We all have done things that we wish we could take back.We pray that god will forgive what we have done and we then feel better about ourselves.We know god can forgive us but the important thing is can we forgive ourselves.We truly cannot be happy with ourselves until we do.

I am very concerned about someone I love very much right now.She is a very good Christian person,also a very hard worker and is very sick. She never complains and has been through very much and will have to continue to go through a lot.

As I was meditating in church I felt the tears coming and all I could do is ask god over and over again to please lay his healing hands on this person I love very much. So whether you are practicing meditation through prayer to heal someone you love or to have peace in the world I can tell you the prayer you are saying will comfort you and give you peace of mind.

If you are trying to figure out what is causing all of the stress in your body, you may want to do some research.  This is something that you can do on your own to find a way to pin point the problems and to get started with the treatments of them.  You should sit down and think about the problems that you are having in your life and what you can do to change the situation.

Make a well thought out list of all the problems that you are facing in your life.  Think about these problems and what you are worried about.  When you are thinking about what is disrupting your life, you may find the answers to the questions of what is causing all of your problems and your stress.

Think of all the people that are adding to your stress.  This will include all relationships both at home and at work.  Figure out what the problems are with these people and if you need to have them in your life or if they are someone that you should distance yourself from.  There is nothing wrong with ending a relationship that is in turmoil.  You should be prepared to do this if it is relevant to your health and well-being.

Think of things that you can do to improve your lifestyle.  If you are eating the right things, taking the time to exercise and get the proper nutrients for your body.  Are you talking about your feelings with others?  Do you need to find a different career path?  These are examples that you need to think about when you are trying to define your life and what is causing you the most problems with stress

Do not forget about the humor and entertainment in your life.  You have to include these things into your life so that you are taking a break from the stress that can build up.  You should jot down the things that you like to do and what makes you happy.  Make sure that you are applying these things to your life so that you can become a better and well-rounded person. 

Make sure that you are going over your lists on a regular basis.  Make the necessary changes where they are needed and take the time to enjoy things.  You need to stop and smell the roses once in a while to maintain a healthy outlook on life.  You will find that once you apply this list, you will watch your stress disappear for good.
