It’s the first week of December, and are you stressed with the month already?  Has the mountain of to-do’s felt overwhelming?  Are you wanting some peace in the midst of your busy life?

 

In this episode, we are going to dive into 4 tactical strategies to help manage stress so you can have peace this Christmas.

 

December is full of celebrations, family commitments, and honoring the birth of Jesus, which can bring both joy and stress. True peace comes from Christ, the Prince of Peace, and is nurtured through intentional stress management. Practical strategies include delegating tasks for better time management, taking short walks with deep breathing, playing worship or Christmas music, and creating small moments of joy like journaling or eating well. Simple acts—mindful meals, Mediterranean diet recipes, strength training, and rest—help reduce overwhelm and keep our hearts centered on Christ during the busy season.

 

Scripture referenced:  Isaiah 9:6; John 14: 27
