Erasing Stress

I wish to erase 'stress'  just like that image : )

It is a known fact  that too much stress weakens the body, our immune system. And in the process  we become an easy prey to diseases. 

While reading a book the other night, I’ve learned that stress can be equated to  worrying.

....and it is suggested to quit worrying whenever possible. And try to get rid of every

anxious thoughts ----->   

According to the author, the best antidote to worrying is trusting more. We need to keep the faith - our faith  in God, in ourselves and in other people.

*Faith in God could mean  we have to accept the fact  that we have no  control  over many things and believe that there is a greater invisible power.

*Faith in ourselves could mean we are capable of performing our best because  we believe we can.

*and Faith in others could mean we’re  putting  our trust in our family, friends and other trusted people as well. 

Ahh perhaps  these are  all easier said than done  but definitely worth-considering....   Otherwise stress could easily eat us up or 'erase' us in any way. 

Stress Less

Here are simple remedies for a stressful day. 
A timely reminder for busy folks like many of us. 

Dance it out.
Sing. 

Breathe.
Go for a walk.
Talk about it.
Go to bed earlier.
Focus on what you can control.
Reminisce about the good times.

and may I add a heartfelt prayer.


Reminds me of the prayer I've posted before.
a rephrased prayer of St. Teresa of Avila:


Let nothing disturb me,
Let nothing frighten me,
Everything passes away
except God.
God alone is sufficient!

When Troubles Come...

For days filled with anxieties, here’s my wish for you…

Whenever troubles come, I would remind myself that things shall pass just like any season.  Sometimes I would utter the simple prayer posted below. It's the prayer  written in the breviary of St.Teresa of Avila. 

Let nothing disturb you, 

Let nothing frighten you, 

All things pass away: 

God never changes. 

Patience obtains all things. 

He who has God 

finds he lacks nothing; 

God alone suffices.

Don't Cry Over the Past

Let us learn to appreciate 
and enjoy the present moment.

Don't cry over the past, it's gone.

Don't stress about the future, it hasn't arrived.

Live in the present and make it beautiful!

One problem with gazing too frequently into the past is that we may turn around to find the future has run out on us.  ~Michael Cibenko
