Encontrando La Paz Cuando La Vida Es Estresante

Encontrando La Paz Cuando La Vida Es Estresante

Alguna vez te has sentido estresado, preocupado, tensionado, o bloqueado?

En este mundo, no podemos evitar momentos de estrés porque eventos estresantes ocurren. Cuando tales eventos suceden, nuestro cuerpo tiene una respuesta adaptada para proveernos de energía rápida y activar las defensas de nuestro cuerpo (sistema inmune) para protegernos del daño o la infección.

Esta reacción rápida hacia un evento estresante repentino es de ayuda cuando el estrés es real (lo opuesto a uno imaginario) y cuando el problema que causa el estrés es resuelto en una tiempo relativamente corto.

Sin embargo, mucha gente hoy vive en un estado de continuo estrés mental. Siempre están preocupados, siempre al borde – sintiendo un sentido de urgencia como en estado de crisis constante. Este tipo de estrés incesante es bastante dañino para nuestra salud física y mental. La activación de los circuitos de estrés a largo tiempo, con su continuo bloqueo del sistema inmunológico, causa una inflamación crónica que daña los receptores de la insulina, contribuyendo al comienzo de la diabetes en adultos, aumentando el riesgo de ataques al corazón y derrames cerebrales, desórdenes de estado de ánimo ( como depresión), y demencia de Alzheimer. Adicionalmente tal estrés crónico interfiere con la señalización normal neuronal, causando fatiga, malestar, problemas de concentración, disturbio del sueño, y alteraciones dañinas del apetito.

Un estrés crónico incesante es dañino, pero sin importar los estreses de la vida, hay acciones prácticas que usted puede tomar  para mejorar su resiliencia, reducir estrés, calmar el sistema nervioso, y promover cuerpos y mentes saludables.  A continuación algunos principios y acciones generales que le ayudarán a manejar y reducir el estrés mejor.

  • Un estilo de vida saludable – Coma una dieta basada en plantas o una dieta mediterránea, haga ejercicio regularmente, duerma ocho horas cada noche (para adultos). El buen manejo del estrés comienza con una  buena fundación en la salud física, así que cuidar las necesidad fisiológicas básicas del cuerpo es un buen lugar donde empezar.
  • Espiritualidad Saludable – Desarrolle una relación de confianza con un Dios de amor digno de confianza. Mucha gente cree en Dios pero tiene conceptos de El que actualmente incitan miedo y estrés – esto es dañino. La neurociencia muestra que sólo la creencia en un Dios benevolente es saludable y reduce nuestro miedo y estrés. Recuerda, la Biblia dice que “ el perfecto amor vence al temor.” Si tenemos un concepto de Dios que no reduce o quita nuestro temor, pero en vez lo incita, indica que algo está mal con nuestro concepto de Dios. Confiar en un Dios de amor quien es nuestro creador nos lleva a nuestro siguiente principio.
  • Entender la realidad – abrace la ley diseñada, aprender cómo la realidad actualmente funciona, y elegir vivir en armonía con la las leyes sobre las cual Dios construyó la vida para operar. Conozca cuáles son sus responsabilidades (y que no es su responsabilidad ) y elija cumplirlas mientras confía en Dios los resultados. Finalmente, dele a los otros la libertad de tener sus propias ideas, perspectivas, creencias, incluyendo su actitud hacia usted. En otras palabras, dele a la gente la libertad de no apreciarlo, lo importante es que usted viva en armonía con la voluntad de Dios para su vida.
  • Sea verás – reconozca los problemas de su vida y afróntenlos en el contexto más amplio posible; en una relación de confianza en Dios, abierto a posibilidades más allá de su actual entendimiento.
  • Descanse la mente – Dios prescribió un día en siete para descansar la mente y el espíritu en una amorosa relación con El. No te abstengas de este tiempo de restauración.
  • Organize su vida – establezca rutinas y estructuras de modo que la mayoría de las responsabilidades de la vida no sean problemas nuevos que deban resolverse todos los días pero solamente deberes que se deben hacer en rutina; Viernes lavado de la ropa, lunes aspirada, etc. Hacer algunas cosas rutinariamente le ayudará a no  apilar muchas cosas para hacer a la vez generando estrés.
  • Establezca límites – aprenda a decir no en una manera firme y de forma respetuosa.
  • Disfrute un poco – separe tiempo para recrearse, practicar hobbies, y otras cosas que le interesen para disfrutar y conviértalo en una rutina regular.    
  • Evite toxinas – alcohol, drogas, y comportamientos destructivos alteran el estado de ánimo, transitoriamente ( pornografia, comprar impulsivamente, apuestas, juegos de asar en exceso etc.) Actualmente dañan y destruyen, incrementan la culpa y la vergüenza, lo cual incrementa el estrés.
  • Construya relaciones saludables – conéctese  con  gente madura, únase a grupos saludables, y  participe en programas para ayudar a otros.
  • Busque ayuda profesional – un consejero bien entrenado o un psiquiatra  puede ayudarle a manejar momentos abrumadores y ofrecerle estrategias específicas para lidiar con la crisis.

La vida está llena de momentos estresantes. No podemos controlar lo que pasa alrededor de nosotros, pero sí tenemos control sobre las decisiones que tomamos gobernándonos a nosotros mismos. Es nuestra responsabilidad de decidir cómo vamos a responder  a las situaciones de estrés de la vida. Le invito a tomar decisiones saludables  en armonía con el diseño de Dios para la vida y después confíe en Dios para los resultados.

Testimony 32

The message [of Come And Reason Ministries is] for all Christians (and those who may become Christians) and not just Adventists or any other group. It is difficult to imagine why any [anyone] with intellectual and spiritual honesty could find fault with the way you explained the healing substitution concepts and the truth about God’s character, though I know some will reject and criticize. On behalf of those in our group near Tacoma, WA, thank you and your staff for all of the hard work and for sharing the Gospel in this manner. God’s message of healing love will be carried to the whole world and then Jesus will come – He promised it.

Terry U., Tacoma, WA, USA

 

Testimony 30

God lead me to your book “The God-Shaped Brain” while I was searching for another book about the brain and then to your interview about your book on HeartWise Ministries [where] I found out about [Come And Reason Ministries]. I’m now devouring the webcasts of your Bible studies. I have been so greatly blessed and I thank God so much for your courage to speak the Truth in love no matter what. Listening to you contrast the two opposing systems (laws) and digging deep to unearth the hidden treasures in the Bible makes me so incredibly happy and I feel very blessed to be part of your Bible Study Group although I live far away. I am just so excited that there is a group of people that is spreading the Truth about the character of God and it saddens me how few realize what our Father in Heaven is really like.

Testimony 24

I wanted to thank you very much for presenting your understanding of God. I’ve always been troubled by this question: Why did Jesus have to die? Since my conversion I understood that The Father & Jesus are one, I did not have issues with that. But was there not any other way to save us than for Jesus to die? I guess I actually had a question about God – if He is so wise, how come He did not find another way? I did not see the real ‘beauty’  in the cross. Only when you explained the picture in the medical context, Jesus providing medicine for my selfishness, have I started to finally ‘see the light’. Thank you so much. Your seminar, “Healing the Mind,” are absolutely marvelous & have shared them with my family and many other people, including colleagues at work. Thanks, thanks, thanks. May God bless you abundantly in your ministry.

M. W., Australia

 

Testimony 27

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.

Testimony 12

I have been really blessed reading your response to the various questions on your site.

Testimony 49

I came into the church at 21, but that is as far as it went. I was so confused about what love is. I couldn’t find it in the bible, because I am not a person that can read between the lines. I have no logic. I have read many, many books; trying to figure out the crux of the matter. They were helpful, but something was still missing. I have become very frustrated to the point of crying out to God, “Where can I go?”  I needed some basics.

I found two books, written by Timothy Jennings, MD, to be very helpful. God showed me that I had lived my whole life in fear. I didn’t even see it. Now, I do. God is so good.  I discovered the “The Remedy”  Dr. Jennings new book, “The God-Shaped Heart!” Oh, I was so excited, I purchased them right away.

I can get rid of most of my books, because “The Remedy” brings the Love of God out so clearly, even I can’t miss it. Now, I want to sit and read my Bible. Wow, what a revelation! It is just simply Awesome! I am so grateful to Jehovah Almighty for hearing my prayer for more understanding! I am so encouraged!

Testimony 17

The blessings of clarity and understanding you and your class inspire me to take from the word of God have impressed upon me so greatly the true, loving character of our Creator. I have found amazing freedom and joy through building a stronger, more intentional relationship with Him. What is new is that this is now a relationship built on love, reverence and respect rather than fear and obligation, and as such my eyes have been slammed OPEN as I am continually impressed by the manifestations of God’s true character in His provisions for fallen man.

Testimony 60

Just watched watched lesson 10 in the 1st quarter 2021 bible study classs on Isaiah. I want to thank you for your intellectual spirituality; it’s not an oxymoron! From the point of view of a teacher I also enjoy seeing how much personal pleasure you clearly take in not just tasting, but feasting on God’s word – it reminds me of Jeremiah not being able to hold it in! It makes me smile that your cup is so full and overflowing that you make it to Tuesday’s lesson (on a good day). It just goes to show the richness of God’s Word.

God bless the Come and Reason Team from our church here in Great Britain.

Andrew H., Great Britain

 

Testimony 44

We were given a gift of the DVD set, “God and Your Brain,” and we just finished watching it. The truths in this are so powerful and truly an answer to a prayer. We’re seeing hope where once we thought God wasn’t answering our prayers to be free of certain mindsets. He answered with these DVDs and we are hungry for more. Thank you!

Daniel T., Easley, SC, USA

 

Testimony 58

I have been watching your videos in The Power of Love seminar and I must say these have liberated me and have improved my relationship with the Lord. I am no longer terrified of him as I was before following your teachings.

Thando N., South Africa

 

Testimony 7

Ok, so last night I listened to “The Law of Liberty” and “How to Achieve Victory: Freedom, Truth and Spirtual Warfare.” These are both MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES so far! The logic is just soooooo beautiful. I had to re-listen to them a couple of times. I just want to EXPLODE! (<< we assume with joy and happiness)

N. B., Canada

 

Testimony 53

I was so blessed by a friend who gave me your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” while I was sitting in church asking God to please help me learn more about Him and help me not to be so confused and scared. That was about 2 years ago. Your books have helped me to love God even more. I’m not confused or scared anymore! I have listened to all of your bible study classes and feel like I know the wonderful people that attend every week. Thank you for all that you’re doing in spreading the true message about God and His law of love. God bless you and your whole class.

Elssy P., Modesto, CA, USA

 

Testimony 29

Thank you for all of your work to correct misconceptions about God’s character. So many people that my husband and I have talked to seem to be against the natural law construct and view it as “errant” and “dangerous.” Having learned more about it through your blogs and lessons, I don’t really understand why they view it that way, except that it means they have to relearn theology they have known for their entire lives. But I’m so excited to relearn this. For the past few years I have been questioning how I could trust a God who punishes arbitrarily and is full of wrath for those who don’t obey His commands. That view made me afraid to “mess up” or “not be good enough,” even within my relationship with God. I really appreciated the point you bring out about God not wanting us to serve Him because we are afraid, but because we love Him.

Melissa H., IN, USA

 

Testimony 70

I have been watching you for many years and have learned to love God with all my heart. I was raised by a loving Christian mother that had been lied to about who God really was, so our religious upbringing was hell fire and damnation. As soon as I was old enough and moved out, I not only left the church, I ran as fast as I could to get away from it. Sad to say, it wasn’t until the past couple of years that I learned and understand who my Father really is and how much He loves me. I understand God’s Design Laws (which make sense) and when I’m teaching my church Bible study class, I’m able to really put to use the things I’ve been learning and Holy Spirit is leading. Thank you for introducing me to my Father of true, pure love. Everyday with Him is new and exciting. One thing that breaks my heart is that I didn’t know Him sooner. God Bless you and your ministry!

Judy Phelps, Reno, NV, USA

Testimony 63

I’ve been very blessed by “The God Shaped Brain” and this ministry, through video and podcast, over the last few years. It’s truly opened up my eyes more to the truth about God and the importance of that truth in the present world. The message is so inviting, freeing and enlightening and MORE people need to know about it. I believe it is the last message that can truly, not only prepare a people for salvation and translation, but vindicate the character of God.
