<\/p>\n
You can have a healthier and happier life if you can learn how to give up some of the stressors in your life over to God. Don’t be afraid to reach out to God when you need help.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t be ashamed or afraid to follow your instincts. They are there for a reason. If something feels wrong, listen to that little voice inside your head. That little voice is called your conscience. It tells you when you should and shouldn\u2019t do something. Don\u2019t do something if it is against your morals. If it feels wrong, then weigh your options carefully and make the right decision.<\/p>\n
Listen To The Holy Spirit\u2019s Guidance<\/p>\n
The voice is also the Holy Spirit trying to get your attention. God is making you aware of how any situation could affect your life and morals as a Christian. It is also a way that God makes you aware of when things aren\u2019t the way they should be, in your circle.<\/p>\n
For instance, if someone is drinking around you and you don\u2019t want to drink, then you have every right not to. Make smart life-saving decisions. Listen to your heart when it tells you when it is time to walk away from a situation that could cause you harm.<\/p>\n
Then There\u2019s That Nudge<\/p>\n
Sometimes the nudge can be subtle such as a feeling of God telling you that a certain situation may not be the proper place for you. Or it can be a loud resounding shout from God to get out of a situation, fast. Whether it is the small voice or the loud resounding voice of His Spirit telling you to walk away, listen to Him first and get out while you can.<\/p>\n
Whether you are in school, at work, or at home or when you’re driving, if you feel that nudge within your heart, follow it. If you feel that nudge telling you not to do something, trust yourself and don\u2019t do it. Don\u2019t give in to the temptation of Satan telling you to go against your morals.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t ever be ashamed to follow your instincts. You know the difference between right and wrong. Trust yourself to make the right judgment calls in every situation.<\/p>\n
Stand Up and Say Something<\/p>\n
If you see something is wrong, then step up and say something about it.\u00a0If you see someone getting mistreated, come to their aid and try your best to help them. If someone is being picked on because of their appearance, then tell them that they are beautiful, no matter what they look like.<\/p>\n
If someone tries to get you to go against your morals or against your faith, you have every right to stand up to them and tell them to not mock your faith. You have every right to stand up for yourself. If your faith is important to you, show it. Don\u2019t be afraid to stand up for yourself whenever you feel you need to. Don\u2019t be afraid to stand up and be there for others, either.
\nSay Exactly What You Mean<\/p>\n
Another way to improve your lifestyle is to say what you mean, while not being mean about it. Don\u2019t be afraid to say what you really feel. Saying exactly what you mean and having the words come out nicely, is a very rewarding feeling. When you say things in a calm matter instead of getting angry, you are acting more mature as well. Take pride in speaking up.
\nDon’t Be a People Pleaser<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have to live your life to please other people or make them approve of you, either. Your life is not meant to be lived to be a people pleaser. No one really wants to live like that for their whole life because it is so tiring. It can wear you out mentally, physically and emotionally.<\/p>\n
When you are constantly thinking, \u201cWill I be enough for this position\u201d \u201cWill I get this position?\u201d \u201cAm I good enough, smart enough or strong enough?\u201d \u201cDo these people like me or my work ethic?\u201d All of those thoughts can wear you down faster than ever. If you think about pleasing others instead of just living life for yourself and doing the things you love, you will miss out on the joy that comes with feeling deep in your heart that you are doing the right things.<\/p>\n
When you are doing things, try and do them as if you are doing them for God, too. Doing things as if you are doing them for the Lord, helps you remember that God is there in every aspect of your life, whether it is good, bad or in between. When you make your focus \u201cI\u2019m doing this for God and for His glory, not for myself or my glory,\u201d things will become so much easier to do.
\nNever Speak Badly About Yourself<\/p>\n
If you speak ill of yourself, or if you speak negatively about yourself you won\u2019t be as happy as you should be. The chances are that you will start to believe the lies that Satan puts in your head about your self-esteem. God made you perfect and flawless. Do your best. Don’t doubt your abilities. God gave you the abilities you have for a reason. Every ability that you have is for you to use for God\u2019s glory. Don\u2019t worry if you haven\u2019t found your unique passion or figured out your abilities yet because God is molding you into the person you are meant to be each day. Trust Him in His timing and enjoy the journey.<\/p>\n
Love Your Life<\/p>\n
Enjoy life with everything you have within you. Don\u2019t let anyone or any circumstance steal your joy or zest for life. The reality is, you never know how long you have. Make every moment count.\u00a0<\/strong>You can have a healthier, not to mention a calmer life if you listen to your heart, listen to God and His spirit keeping you on track and let your conscience guide you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You can have a healthier and happier life if you can learn how to give up some of the stressors in your life over to God.
