Spiritual Tools To Combat Stressful Events

By Paul Nelson


We all believe that in order to combat stressful situations from our everyday lives, we must not only strengthen our physical power but also our spiritual power. Giving yourself a time to ponder about things will help you become aware of your true self. Here are some spiritual tools for your everyday living.

You could meditate with the natural sounds of trees and cool breeze. This could help you boost your spiritual strength and this is for your own benefit. This would help you become more productive at work and in school. It does not only affect your technical performance, but also your ability to stand strong in the midst of trials. Regardless of your religion, we all have unique ways to communicate with God.

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.

Recognizing your strengths and weakness will allow you to regain what you have lost. Gaining back your spiritual strength is one of the best things you could do for yourself. We have to understand that the best things in life are the things money can never buy.

Not getting enough salary because of payroll disputes, not feeding your family enough food for that day and not being able to financially support your loved ones will surely weaken us. These discouragements will hinder us from continuing life. However, this must not be the case. Despite all these insufficiencies, we should never lose hope because there is always something better waiting for us.

Positively dealing with your boss will lighten up his or her mood. On the other hand, arguing with him or her will ruin his or her day and the negativity you have shown will bounce back to you. That is why the first tool is to learn to love the people around you. Showing them care will allow them to give back the care they have received. Second is to love yourself.

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.
