Let Your Values Do The Driving
Day 6 of 30 Days to Taming Your Stress
“As I looked at everything I had worked so hard to accomplish, it was all so meaningless. It was like chasing the wind. There was nothing really worthwhile anywhere” – Ecclesiastes 2:11

Get Physical
“I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified” -1 Corinthians 9:27
Have you ever had a ridiculously stressful day? I bet you can think of several moments in the past week that made you a bit stressed. Stress effects all of us differently because we have coping mechanisms to help us get through those hard times.
“Physical activity is an excellent stress-buster and is critical to normalizing your body after a stressful event”
Our bodies release hormones during stressful moments and our bodies typically respond in two ways FIGHT OR FLEE and depending on your personality we typically migrate towards one or other. As an extrovert you typically you tend flee away and go hide away, which makes us feel safe. However as an introvert we tend to FIGHT, standing our ground no matter what.
Which of these two defensive mechanisms do you tend to migrate towards when you are feeling stress?
Personally, as a very big extrovert in times of stress I retreat and take time away from interacting with others because it makes me feel safe. However, it wasn’t until earlier this year did I truly understand why I did this throughout my life.
In order to avoid this and center myself BEFORE I get stressed I learned the importance of physically activity on the daily. I’ve always loved nature, but I would get caught up in the daily demands and become stressed.
I find myself every single day walking in nature for at least 30 minutes to move my body not only to physically move my body, but to RECENTER MYSELF.
Can you think of ways to recenter yourself and get physical, the best form of exercise is the one you enjoy and find most convenient?
People who are routinely active tend to eat better and maintain a healthier lifestyle for themselves and their families. I encourage you today to get physical, move your body in a way YOU enjoy
Today’s Prayer: Father I need YOUR divine empowerment to engage in some form of physical activity on a regular basis.
