What do you do when you feel stressed? I guess all three of the above fit me today. What helps? Now I know the old saying that "stressed" spelled backwards is "desserts" and chocolate or a bowl of ice cream might seem to help at times, but not always.
How about the following:
Prayer for strength (Colossians 1:11).
A comfy chair in front of a sunny window (unless it's a migraine).Easy listening music - I'm listening to Jim Brickman right now.
A cup of something warm to drink. (I like Chai).
Realizing that God is in control and everything will work out for His glory. (Romans 11:36)
Surround yourself with beauty. (Philippians 4:8)

How interesting, Jamie, that you should choose this subject. I have a friend whom God appears to have called me to counsel and mentor who doesn't know how to properly deal with stress. Her choices are, for lack of a better word, dysfunctional. I will share with her your list in hopes that it will be of some comfort. Thanks for sharing it.
