Spiritual Tools To Combat Stressful Events

By Paul Nelson


Naturally, as humans, we feel disappointed whenever we do not meet our self expectations. Sometimes, we are too tired to perform our tasks and do not have the motivation to continue what we have started. Since this is very normal, we are provided with spiritual tools to live a better life.

We are currently living in this fast paced environment and if we cannot manage to be as capable as other people, then we might drown in the ocean of unemployment. For students, they are also pressured with the thought of not being able to graduate and fulfill the expectations of their parents and guardians. Everyone in this world has needs and demands.

Religion is not important in determining your spiritual health because it only serves as guidance for our every day practices and make sure that we are still living in the standards of our morality. These spiritual tools are much more important than what you might have thought. These are instruments that will help you survive in a world full of temptations and obstacles.

This most important aspect of our functioning will change the way we perceive on things. If your boss gave you unachievable deadlines and your family is now constantly asking for your salary, then having an emotional breakdown will not help you pacify these pressures. Go for a walk, treat yourself, spend some time on a hilltop and evaluate your values.

It will encourage you to always dwell with the biblical teachings. In making every day decisions, we must base it on what we believe is right and not based on our own understanding. It will serve as a solid foundation to stop us from sinking. Being reprimanded by your boss, not submitting your reports within the given deadline, failing in an exam is not a good experience.

We only pick up the lessons we have seen in the internet and from our friends. Knowing these tools might change the way you live and could improve your way of thinking. First is not to desire too much. Our desires are the root cause of our disappointments. If we dream to be a successful businessman, we must surely work hard for it.

Positively dealing with your boss will lighten up his or her mood. On the other hand, arguing with him or her will ruin his or her day and the negativity you have shown will bounce back to you. That is why the first tool is to learn to love the people around you. Showing them care will allow them to give back the care they have received. Second is to love yourself.

You cannot give genuine love to others without loving yourself first. Acknowledging your limitations is the best thing you can do to maintain psychological stability. Spending time with your loved ones is one way to express self love. You cannot determine when your time will end. Thus, treasure their presence and treat them with love and affection.

Knowing your strength and weakness is an asset. There is nothing wrong when you skip work for at least a day and go to the mountains to give yourself a break. We must only desire the things that money cannot buy. Therefore, live life to its fullest and avoid feelings of negativity as much as possible.
