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 39

[This ministry is the] biggest blessing I have ever received! Your DVDs and lessons could not have come at a better time in my life. I have experienced in the past year many difficulties that, if it wasn’t for this wonderful view of God that I have discovered through this ministry, I would not have been able to respond in love and forgiveness. My heart is being transformed everyday by the Calvary-looking God you teach. Hallelujah!! I have tears in my eyes as I write, because my life has taken a complete turn from where I was heading.

I am from Central America. Most of my family is scattered in different parts of the world and all have the same view of God that I had growing up; a distant, exacting, and ready-to-punish-us-with-tragedy type of God. So, I have been translating lessons for my family and, to my surprise, they have also been sharing them with others! I can already see the difference. My brother has often said, “Thank you for sharing, I have never heard it this way!” My other family members are taking an amazing turn from a message of “repent or burn” towards a loving God, pleading to us that we won’t reject him because he loves us eternally.

Bless you for all you do.

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 37

Hearing Dr. Jennings’ presentations in person came at a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey that began about nine months ago, when the fault lines inherent in my belief system began to crack under questions that most reasonable people end up asking about God and His nature. These were questions I couldn’t find answers to, and they shook my faith. I was unable let it go any longer and be satisfied. My Christian experience became distant. I was afraid; the fear in me rose like thorns, pushing me away from Jesus. And then someone heard my questions and introduced me to this ministry, and my life has totally changed.

I can tell you that this new, “present truth” message is far grander and life-changing than when I shifted from being an agnostic and then a nominal Christian. It has radically altered my worldview, because it reveals a God that makes sense. It is a revolution. I believe that Dr. Jennings’ message is the final message that must go to the world. If any message could be called “righteousness by faith,” as abused as that term is by the right and the left, this is that message, because Jennings’ biblical message identifies a God who is different, whose character isn’t an impossible contradiction.

I walk this path now without fear. I see people differently, and the Holy Spirit burns in my heart. Many call Dr. Jennings’ message false and compromising, but it isn’t false, because I’ve seen the fruits within my mind and body. It is not compromising, because in this message is the only road to holiness that makes any sense. No longer do I behold a pagan god who is always angry and suspicious. Instead, I behold a God who is freeing and loving, always working for our good, and giving me every reason to love my enemy even to my own death, just as Jesus pleads with us. God is good.

Testimony 42

I am just writing to say that I have been so blessed by the teachings of Come And Reason Minitries recently. I watched last week’s bible study lesson on Youtube and am thankful that the error in the printed lesson guide you use was pointed out and this week’s study was of equal benefit, if not more so. My understanding of God’s nature has been very confused of late and I am so grateful for clarity in this matter. I have never really fully understood previously how a good God can cause bad things to happen and now I realise that He doesn’t, it’s a natural consequence of sin. May the almighty Father and His Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, continue to bless your ministry.

Laura P., United Kingdom

 

Testimony 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

Testimony 6

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

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 69

After reading your book, ‘Could It Be This Simple,’ someone was explaining Christianity in a way that made sense to me for the first time in my life. One morning, I simply prayed “I’m sorry and I love you.” As soon as I silently said that, I could literally feel God’s presence and light flood down on me from above and fill me up with love and joy. I sat there crying my eyes out, because I was so overpowered with this feeling of love and joy. It was just so incredible. I hope that more people can read this book and get a blessing from it. It’s really amazing.

Testimony 25

I just want to say thank you so much for your conversations via YouTube. I regularly tune in to your lectures, “Let’s Talk” sessions, and many others. Through these I’ve found greater depth and meaning to God’s word. Thanks for all that you do and please continue. I’m currently working in the middle of Silicon Valley at Stanford University. I feel like God really has me in the right place right now and I’m sensing that your teachings might be part of it.

Testimony 45

I have been confused for years about what [christianity] calls [its] most disgusting teaching. It has never made much sense to me and for that reason has been evermore empty. I have listened to your class off and on and have struggled determining what is truth, because of the resistance design law encounters in the church. So, I thank God for your ministry. What you teach makes sense. It’s logical and backed up by the power of love. I have never seen that in Christ until now. I am astounded by the insight that is found when we look at God’s ministry through design law. All strength to this message, as I believe it to be the power of God.

Brendon S.

 

Testimony 56

I cannot thank you enough for opening my understanding to the beautiful truth of God’s Law of Love and how it applies to everything. I have been a Christian for over forty years, but I feel like I am only now seeing with my eyes open. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Testimony 71

When I was 9 years old, I remember setting at our devotional table with a hunger and thirst for God that wanted more, deeper, BETTER. I can remember literally crying and pounding on the table, “I know these teachers didn’t mean to give us error. They taught what THEY had been TAUGHT, but didn’t ANYBODY READ THE BOOK?!?!?” It mattered to me then. It mattered to me as a teenager. It matters now as I teach bible classes. It didn’t have to be so hard as I watched so many give up and lay God’s great plan and gift of salvation aside as being “impossible.” Then, a friend sent me a link to Come And Reason’s website. I grew excited. YES! FINALLY! Then another friend told me to stay away, saying her son had just broken up with a girl because she was involved with Come And Reason and that “Tim Jennings preaches a false gospel.” But, AFTER many years of developing an authentic and, dare I say FUN relationship with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit I see this message has been around a LONG time, since the apostle Paul, Ellen White, Graham Maxwell, Ray Foucher, and yourself (though I admit, you’ve made me back up, rewind and replay the clips, and get out my well-worn Bible on a few things.) I’m so thankful I have found LIGHT during these DARK days. I am not alone.

Testimony 18

The Healing the Mind DVD set tarted me on a journey that has changed my relationship with our loving God more significantly than any other study, and brought me to your book and Bible study podcasts, which I now listen to daily, thanks to the availability of archived content on your site and on iTunes.

Testimony 22

I have found your Bible study class lectures to be very inspiring and useful as I prepare to teach class every other week. I subscribe to the podcast and download your notes on the weeks I teach. The audio and notes are such a great help in preparing. My own understanding of God’s character has grown as I teach the class. Commendations on the thought-provoking and well-prepared material Come and Reason provides. Personally, I get excited by the tie you make between the spiritual and mental/physical domains.
