Spiritual Tools To Combat Stressful Events

By Paul Nelson


As we face daily challenges, we always seek for guidance on how to remain strong. We are not only referring to physical capacity to deal with these situations but also emotional spiritual capacity. If you consider yourself incapable to fight this negativity in your life, then you might want to read about some spiritual tools to combat stressful events in your everyday living.

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.

We all know that posting your disappointment and negative emotions on social media is not a good habit. Instead of receiving thoughtful advices, you would just receive random reactions from your friends and some strangers. This practice will not help you solve your problems. Talking it out with your parents instead might possibly help but some parents would ignore the difficulties of their children because they believe that these are just petty problems and are not worth their time.

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.

However, you found yourself in a situation wherein you do not have enough capital to start one. It will take years to save for a big capital. With this, you become extremely disappointed of yourself and consider yourself as a failure. This should not be the case here. Secondly, do not set extremely high expectations.

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.

Fourth is to be mature enough. Immaturity will worsen every situation you encounter and will surely put you into trouble. That is why, you have to face these stressors as graceful as you can and smile every day. Being mature means your emotions do not depend on the emotions of everyone. You should be independent from the drama of the world and live your own life happily.
