SOUL FUEL #8: Less Stress & Anxiety…More Peace & Joy!

I was speaking with several people in the last few weeks who either…

1. Are experiencing a bit more angst/anxiety these days.
2. Or they know someone suffering with increased anxiety.

I feel like this is a conversation I am hearing more of lately.

Maybe it’s because it’s the holidays.

Maybe it’s because we have more on our plate than ever before.

Maybe it’s because we have high expectations of ourselves and others…and sometimes it seems like many others around don’t have the same level of expectations.

Maybe because we are living in a “faster” world than ever.

I’m not sure of WHY.

But I do know this: Any/all of this can bring about fear. Anxiety. Angst. Worry. Stress. And just an icky feeling on the inside.

I was recently in one of my favorite places on the planet, one in which I find a ton of peace & tranquility. One where life seems to slow down about 3-notches.

I take you out to the property at The Homestead (Whitefish, MT) now where I spent a couple extra days after our recent Mountain Retreat.

Today’s SOUL FUEL #8 is called “Less Stress & Anxiety…More Peace & Joy.”

Take a listen and let me know what you think.

Today’s SOUL FUEL stems from Philippians 4:6-8 which states,
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

My hope and prayer is that you FIND more peace, joy, tranquility, and happiness in the next few weeks. Regardless of where you live, the climate, the holiday, and all the external things going on, I hope you can find much peace on the inside.

Much love,
