Stress is the aspect of anxiety that we feel in our body. Worry is about thoughts, but stress is how our muscles get tense, our breathing gets tight, we feel achy, and our hands sweat. Stress is the physiological response to perceived danger. The good news is you can train your mind and body to be calm by doing simple activities throughout the day.

About Me:
I’m Emma McAdam. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I have worked in various settings of change and growth since 2004. My experience includes juvenile corrections, adventure therapy programs, wilderness therapy programs, an eating disorder treatment center, a residential treatment center, and I currently work in an outpatient therapy clinic.
In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life’s direction.
And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/believe

Yes, the Bible says to pray about everything. No matter what we are going through right now, No matter how impossible the situation may seem, no matter how helpless or hopeless we may feel, we should remember this, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD. God’s power is infinite. Therefore, we should have faith in Him, His power, and His love for us. I encourage you to go to God in prayer. take this time to pursue God. For and foremost ask God to protect, comfort, guide and strength you through this trial. It will only weigh on your mind more and more and potentially miss out on the spiritual benefits of seeking guidance and comfort, If you neglect to pray before the Lord. we are to give our grievances, our emotional turmoil, our anguish – to God. Our peace is not determined by our circumstances. Our peace is dependent upon our relationship with God. The closer that we are to God the more peaceful we are. practicing discipline with your mental state to surrender your issues to Jesus Christ is something God desperately wants from you. Do not lean on your own understanding but just trust in Jesus Christ, He is the only answer to all your problems. He knows you completely and knows your pain too and He will heal your heart and will pour His blessings upon you. Now, It’s up to you to repent and put your trust in Jesus. Let Him lead you. Strive towards being satisfied with God.
Jesus said in Matthew 11:28, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Philippians 4:6-7 states, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

You know what makes me more stressed and angry? Spending time concentrating on the thing that got me worked up in the first place, IE, TAKING DEEP BREATHS!
The only thing that does is re-enforce the neurons that are unhappy.
