Stress management

Spirit Daily - Daily spiritual news from around the world:
"All of us have tensions!
It is how we manage them. The saints learned how to regain their peace by looking at negative matters in a positive fashion.
When we don't control our thoughts -- when we hover over an issue, when we let things pile up, when we're in a negative mode -- we magnify tension.
Give it to God. Put it in a 'box' for Him. And if it's someone causing you stress, recall the Littler Flower -- who, stressed over a fellow sister who prayed loudly and rattled rosary beads in the chapel, asked God to love the nun through her, despite her own irritation. That defused the situation."
