Stress is a Choice

Note to self -
You already know this.

Choose not to be stressed.
Choose to take time to be calm when you can see stress on the horizon.
Choose to go pick up the scriptures and say a prayer instead of let a thousand ideas/worries flood your mind and keep you from sleeping.
Choose to say to yourself - Oh Well, when its beyond your control, and then throw that thought over your shoulder.
Choose to not make any excuses for yourself about why you can't handle . . . and then just deal with a small piece at a time, trusting the Lord doesn't ask you to run faster than you have strength, and He means it.
Choose to do something good for someone else to keep a decent perspective - It's Not All About You And Your Life!
Choose to have a plan and follow it, and when circumstances {others} derail your plan, choose to not be unhappy inside and embrace the new opportunities, and know that tomorrow is a new day to start again.
Choose to remember that you pass on character traits to your children so if you don't want them to be stressed, you shouldn't be that way either.
Choose to practice good health habits which will keep your energy up and able to accomplish what is needed without needing a "sugar high" or a "chocolate fix."

Got it???
Now DO IT!
