Stress can affect your health. It is a proven fact. We want to keep stress down but every day something new crops up. Recently I spoke to a young mom of seven children who shared she was expecting a baby in a month, her air conditioner was making a strange noise, her well needed a new pump and her dishwasher wasn’t working correctly. If that isn’t stress in the making I don’t know what is! And, of course this sweet young mom homeschools.

Six Stress Busters For Mom:

Let go of doing it all.
Perfectionism has to be tempered with reality.
Plans are great, schedules are wonderful but routines are better than both.
DO something for YOU — just one thing. What is that one thing that will help you relax?
Stop and smell the roses. Literally. Grab a blanket and watch the clouds or the night stars.
Read a life-changing book. Devotionals are wonderful, short and can be done each day. Jesus Calling by Sarah Young, Resisting Happiness by Matthew Kelly (add your favorite life-changing books below in the comments).
