One of the first verses I learned in the Bible was Phillipians 4:6 which says not be anxious about anything. While there is great, great wisdom in that, in the past, I've had trouble applying it to my life. We live in a culture built on stress. Virtually everyone reading this is either stressed or knows someone who is. So how do you move past that anxiety? One thing I have started to do is write a little list called the 5 reasons my life is cool right now. What does it do?
1. Takes my attention off my problems
2. Focuses my attention on the things that are going right
3. Makes me feel better
Those 3 benefits alone are enough for you to do it, but I'm sure you could come up with some more reasons.
Here's my list for where I am right now
1. I get to live in a hotel
2. This week, I was in a hotel that had free cookies everyday. Nice treat after a hard day's work.
3. Also, the hotel had free breakfast. A real one, with eggs and such.
4. I spoke to my daughter on Facetime and that made feel a lot better.
5. I have a job, a good one, working with good people.
What about your list?
