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 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.

I would just like to add my voice to the many people who, I believe, must have contacted you to express their appreciation for the “Healing the Mind” DVDs. I’ve been listening to your Bible study class discussions for many years and I’ve been personally blessed by your research and teaching about the character of God.

L. G., Oakland, MI, USA

 

Testimony 5

We listen to your bible studies lessons in our class in Montana. You actually were the main reason I decided to get a laptop, so I can go to your site and listen, read, learn, and print the class notes. I am so grateful to learn the correct view of God and his character. Now, to just have others have an interest in knowing, so I can share it with them. Good thoughts your way.

Testimony 55

I was born [into the church], then I left it for many years. 10 years ago, I came back, but I could not take the hypocrisy and the lack of answers to the missing pieces. I struggled, but I did not abandon my commitment to know the truth. God is leading me to the simple understanding of his relevance and I am relearning what the church taught me as a youth… that he loves me, that he has led me to a knowledge of him such as I have never known. He is using Dr. Jennings to connect the dots that are now so apparent and hiding in plain sight!

Testimony 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

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.

We really appreciate your views on the judgment and they make good sense considering our free choice.

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.

Testimony 51

I Love This Ministry!!!!!!! I see first hand how this message is desperately needed, how erroneous beliefs about God and His Character negatively affect humanity at every level. I thank God for your ministry, as I was searching on my own and was discovering some of your same beliefs and was blown away when I found your ministry. I know you hear it all the time, but it is truly life changing. May God continue to reveal His Will to you and Bless you!

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!

Testimony 67

I was introduced to Come And Reason by a friend of my mother-in-law, who gave me several CD’s of Dr. Jennings. The clarity of the message and recognition that God’s is a God of love was so clear, advancing beyond Dr. Maxwell’s message. However, grappled with Maxwell saying God used emergency measures for the fallen world. Now after several years of being a regular listener of the Come And Reasoning bible study class and attending Jennings’ meetings in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, things are becoming clearer for me. Design law versus imposed law has added so much to my personal understanding of theology. This message has really impacted my work in counseling so many people miserable because they are searching for and trusting human governments to create order and peace or believing in a God who says love Me or I will kill you. I am grateful that I have an alternative view to offer my clients that makes sense. I teach a bible study class on a semi-regular basis and I value the materials that Come And Reason so freely offers to aid me in presenting this vital message. Thank you for continuing to provide advancement in our very limited understanding of a Infinite God that is rational and believable.

Dr. Roger D, Arlington, TX, USA

 

Testimony 35

I am so pleased with the response your message is receiving at my church from the middle-aged to the young adults. I have given out 100 copies of the first two seminars and there are more request every week. One of my [class members] came to me after viewing the series, grateful and impressed with how easy the message was retained. He had been a Seventh-day Adventist in fear all his life, and felt like the scales were removed from his eyes after viewing the seminars. I am so impressed by the change I see in members who have received this message, we are in one accord. However, I am sadden by the negative response of the older people. I am verbally attacked anytime I talk about imposed laws, but I believe my mission is to enlightened everyone I can. I watch your Bible Study Class on YouTube every Friday night and I feel like I am apart of the class. All of you are in one accord and I am so blessed to have found you. I pray that all of you continue to spread this message and I am committed to doing my part.

Testimony 28

I have been following your Bible study class for about a year now. I must say I am impressed with how your ministry has grown. I took it upon myself to listen to all your lesson podcasts from the past and they have both enriched me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I have learnt a lot from this class. I have also noticed how the class has grown in spiritual strength. One of the things that benefited me is that now I am not afraid of God. I use to be, but now it has melted away. The second thing is that you helped me to have a real life relationship with God. Now He is my friend that was always there and I love having him with me all the time. Thirdly, because of this class, it inspired me to take over and lead a class. I have called it “Let Us Reason Together,” adapting your inquisitive style and creating a class of free thinkers.

Testimony 64

I’ve been reading the bible and walking with Jesus since I was around 16. I’m 42 now. I’ve mostly been alone in my walk although I went to several churches in different denominations. For the past 3 years God has been showing me His character of agape. It’s been a blessing and changed how I view God and my walk with Jesus. About a year ago I came across the power of love and the principles of design law. These teachings changed how I read scripture and have been such a beautiful blessing. I’m very excited and grateful for these truths. We share these truths of agape, design law and the reality of the principles of the two trees in the garden of Eden with people on Facebook and YouTube. People all over are learning to trust God and His agape design law which makes life possible. Thank you for everything you shared with me. May God continue to bless your ministry and lives.

Testimony 19

I truly believe that to know who God really is the first step to understand ourselves in a balanced and kind way, so the healing can take place. Your approach really makes sense – Thank you for your ministry!
