Going to continue on my series of Bring Peace Home, hope you are enjoying it as much I enjoy sharing. Keep the comments coming love hearing from you all. Here we go..
One of my favorites..No-Phone Zone...when things get a little busy around here I sometimes just turn off the phone. I think we forget the the phone was made for our convenience.
Avoid Envy...that stuff can mess you up..."A heart at peace give life to the body, but envy rots the bones." Proverbs 14:30
Set email times...Learn to respond to emails at certain time. Email can be a time robber, causing hours to pass by without warning. Set a time to address, read or respond to emails, facebook, blogs or whatever it is that steals your time...I'm still learning this one too.
Read Scripture Daily...oh it is so good for the soul. Peace comes by surrounding all of life around Jesus, the giver of life. Reading the Bible everyday helps us all our activities reflect the priorities of Christ.
Buy a good joke book...No really one year a friend of ours gave us a Christmas joke book and I would read the book and crack up and of course hound my husband and children to listen to this joke I just read.
Spend within your means...Debt can rob peace from you and strife in your relationships. My husband creates a Christmas cash budget every year for each family member we purchase for. I'll tell you it's so nice to not worry about on how are we going to buy this and that for him/her.
Count your blessings...such a simple action, and yet so overlooked. Look at all the wonderful things you do have and not what you don't have.
Volunteer...Reaching out to someone in need can be a source of happiness. Select a way to serve that plays to your skills and abilities.
To end today's list...one of my very favorites...SMILE! Studies show that a simple and beautiful smile reduces stress, boosts your immune system, lowers you blood pressure and releases endorphins. It also makes you look younger, imagine that.
Stay tuned for tomorrow when I wrap up my Bring Peace Home...don't forget to join in and tell me what you do to "Bring Peace Home".
