I’ve been a part of many exciting ventures over the years, but nothing quite like ClearPath Counseling and the Positive Talk Podcast. Each Thursday, my good friend Julie Homrich joins me for a conversation that merges faith and psychology in a simple, practical, approachable fashion. Here is a link to our website where you can listen to all of season one and start with us as we launch season two this week.
Stress is inevitable. Not only is it impossible to live a completely stress-free life, but research shows us that stress is actually a precursor to meaning. Think about the last time you encountered something meaningful in your life…chances are, there was some kind of stressful moment or season that preceded it. So some measure of stress isn’t always bad. From Julie Homrich, LPC
Research shows it can take up to 20 minutes for the stress hormones released from triggers to metabolize and settle in your body. Up until that point, trying to have a peaceful conversation when you’re feeling anything but peaceful internally is quite counterproductive.
If the only affirmation for doing what is right is the Spirit of God, would you do it anyway?
