Our timing is not God's timing.When God puts you "on hold," don't grumble. You can entrust your most cherished longings and desires to Him, and then patiently wait for Him to answer.

It's Monday! start of another stressful week for this working mom. 
And to prepare for this battle got to have some words of inspirations from God's Words.
Psalm 73:21-26
"When my strength was grieved and my spirit embittered, I was senseless and ignorant. I was brute beast before you. Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And Earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
Today's scripture teaches us to be grateful for the trials that can strengthen our faith. For the child of God, great stress can develop great faith and reveal God's great grace. It is when we feel the "stress of the storm" that we learn the strength of our "anchor".
Wishing you all a blessed week! straight from my heart,
I did some more experiments on my blog layout. I just can't help but experimenting since i have no opps to write. This time my sidebars are placed apart and my blog main content in the middle. I've changed also my main content's background to white. I think this color contrast is better than the previous one. I'm pleased with this experiment so i'll stick to this one from now on :)

Office works plus responsibilities at home equals stress! Yes i'm so stressed and we all know that too much stress is bad for us, and have heard the long litany of ailments associated with it- high blood pressure obesity and cancer, to name just a few. Usually our family or our doctor's advice is to find way to relax, but sometimes instead of doing this what we do to cope with stress are eating comfort food and smoking. Sometimes finding time to meditate to relieve from stress or taking a vacation has become its own stress reducer. Are there solutions to relieve stress that we can do anytime and anywhere? Read this real life solutions i found, these are ways we can effortlessly do even in our hectic routine.
BEFORE YOU LEAVE WORK
1. Prepare for tomorrow, nothing is more stressful than being unprepared. Get organized so you're ready for the next day, taking a few minutes to make a to-do list and clean up before you leave. Knowing you've got everything covered means you'll be less likely to fret about work in the evenings. When you come in the next morning, you'll have the sense that you're in control of the situation and can handle it. This sets a positive tone for the day, which can help you get more accomplished.
BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE
2. Arm yourself with snacks. According to APA survey, more women than men turn to comfort food such as ice cream and cookies to ease stress. It's common for women to deny themselves favorite foods because they're trying to lose weight. But under stress, the urge for them becomes even stronger. Researchers confirmed that dieters are more likely than nondieters to overeat under pressure, bingeing on the very same high-fat foods they normally try to avoid. But the key is not to deprive yourself, keep three or four snacks on hand that you know you'll probably want: peanuts if you like salty, a small piece of chocolate for something sweet, in this way you'll not be tempted to binge.
WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE 5 MINUTES
3. Try a repeat performance. Doing almost any routine, repetitive activity ( like cooking, shredding paper or knitting), or reciting a word that represents how you wish you felt, like the word "calm" is a quick way to achieve a Zen-like state. Studies show the effects-lower blood pressure and slower heart rate and breathing, and decreased muscle tension. The crucial elements are to focus on a word, your breathing or a movement and to bring your attention back to your task if your mind wanders or negative thoughts intrude.
IN THE BATHROOM
4. Wash your hands. When you're under pressure, you're more susceptible to cold viruses and other germs because your immune system is suppressed. Hand washing is your best defence. Lather up with soap and warm water for 10-20 seconds.
IN YOU CAR
5. Turn on some tunes. According to a recent study slow or meditative music such as Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 is a proven stress buster, so set your dial to a soothing station during your commute. And if you're stuck in a traffic jam, sneak in this quick exercise.Grab your steering wheel and clench the muscles in you fingers, arms, shoulders, and back. Do this until your muscles begin to tremble about 4-5 seconds, then release. You'll produce a wave of relief your upper neck and arms all the way down to your fingers. Just make sure your foot's on the brake when you let go of the wheel!
ON WEEKEND ERRANDS
6. Use the ATM -once. Limiting your cash withdrawals to once a week is a quick, easy way to monitor you spending habits. Multiple trips to the ATM make it harder to track your money. If you put yourself in an allowance and pay cash for everything, you're more aware of what you're spending and more careful about what you buy. And while thinking about your finances may be enough to send you over the edge, it turns out that getting them under control eases tension in the long run.
AT THE GYM
7. Hit the poll. You'll beat the heat ans squelch stress.A new Swedish study published in the INternational Journal of Stress Management found that floating in water triggers the body's relaxation response, helping lower stress-hormone levels.Even better, nearly 80 percent of the subjects showed improvements such as feeling tense and depressed.
AT HOME IN THE EVENINGS
8. Give your thumbs a rest. Thanks to e-mail, cell phones, it seems like your job never ends. The increasingly blurry boundaries between work and home life leave us with less than ever before." Advances in technology are a leading source of chronic stress, putting many of us in a constant state of alert. Not to mention it draws our attention away from our families: A recent study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family found a link between the use of cell phones and pagers at home and increased stress, which spills over into family life. To make technology work for you, limit your cell phone and e-mail use to working hours only. Set a regular time you'll check it in the evening (say, after dinner), so you're not constantly disrupting home life to keep tabs on work.
Now are you ready to de-stress?
Whew I'm done with my blogroll. It's kinda hard really to change layout i have to enter and re-write all the links all over again! Is there other way to make this easier? so that next time i've decided to change my layout again i don't have to repeat this over and over. Like what i've said i'm still trying to learn everything especially on the technical side.
Now it's time for me to surf and hop again some of my blog buddies haven't updated my url. I know i need to devote more time on this now.
So see you around!
