"Human beings were not designed to carry tons of stress and anxiety. That’s because stress and anxiety make us sick, weak, fatigued, unfocused and unproductive. When we are stressed, we say and do dumb things, and our chances of excelling in life are reduced. Unfortunately, this happens to too many people in our society today; but it doesn’t have to be that way with you.
In this book you will learn how to neutralise stress, anxiety and worry by:
• Changing the way you see your relationships
• Utilising the tools of comedy, humour and laughter
• Releasing those who hurt and offend you• Listening to inspirational & empowering talks
• Eating more healthily & working smarter
• Encouraging & motivating yourself
• Spending less than you earn & investing the rest
• Giving a portion of your energy & resources to good courses
• Leveraging the power of music, meditation, prayer, godly affirmations, reading, exercise, etc. etc.
I show you 20 healthy, harmless and godly ways to neutralise or eliminate stress from your life. If you take the time and effort to internalise and practice just a few of these ideas, the results you get should more than compensate you for your investment in this book."
