Top 7 Calming & Stress-Relieving Hobbies To Help Combat Anxiety

Have you ever lived with something so long that you begin to think it’s normal?

Then you get a clue and you’re like wait I’m not meant to live like this!

I had that realization this week about anxiety.

Although I’ve overcome depression completely and given anxiety more than a few punches, I still am not completely free and I’m guessing you’re not either.

I guess I thought hey as long as my anxiety isn’t paralyzing like it was before then it’s ok to have some anxiety.

But why though?

The goal should be to beat anxiety in the face and win the fight, not settle for being less anxious.

There’s a reason why Jesus said don’t worry over and over again.

He doesn’t want us to use precious brain cells and time worrying when we could be praying to the Father and getting real results.

So in today’s post, I’m going to talk about some stress-reducing hobbies and tips to start beating stress for good.

These are some of the ways that I’ve used to help me at least get a strong grip on anxiety.

But first I’m going to tell you HOW to use these tips because that’s equally as important.

Why Use A Planner Or Bullet Journal

Does anyone else geek out over planners?

I’m not sure what it is.

With me being so scatterbrained, perhaps it’s the idea of having all of my thoughts, plans, goals, and dreams neatly tucked away in between brightly colored pages & organized boxes.

A Powerful Prayer For Productivity And Focus When You Feel Scattered & Overwhelmed!

Prayer for productivity and 5 Helpful Tools To Fight Stress & Overwhelm!

Today we are going to say a prayer for productivity and focus!

Why?

Because, for me, it feels like every day whizzes by faster than the day before it. And our to-do lists get longer and longer no matter how many items we check off of them.

So I need to ask God for help in focusing on what’s important in life and praying for godly productivity is a perfect way to start!

As Christian women, we want to be productive with the time God has given us and focus on doing the things He would have us do.

We know how precious time is and it can be frustrating when we don’t to use it as wisely as we know we should.

I’ve always felt like time was getting away from me.

Like I never had enough time. Like I was always running behind and always late.

But lately, I’ve been really getting into learning about productivity, time management, and goal setting.

It’s really helped me look at time in a different way and I’ve made some changes that have really made a difference in my life.

I really hope that my tips will help.

Since learning more about productivity, I’ve been on time (more often than not), I have more time to work on my blogs and pursue my goals, and I feel like my time with my family and friends is more enjoyable because I’m learning to live in the moment.Continue reading

Powerful Bible Verses To Overcome Anxiety As Christians 

If there was ever a time when we need Bible verses to overcome anxiety, it is now!

Why shouldn’t any of us struggle with anxiety?

Because Jesus told us about a million different times not to be anxious ( give or take a few times).

Yet so often we still can’t overcome the constant worry and doubt that plagues so many of us.

So I thought it would be good to have a devotional and remind ourselves of 9 major things the Bible says about overcoming anxiety.
