Successfully Dealing With Pressure (August 2022)
Are you feeling pressure in your everyday life? On the job. . .in your finances. . .at home either in your role as a spouse or a parent.
Does it seem that sometimes the pressure is almost overbearing?
Peter Marshal, a former Chaplain of the United States Senate, once said in a prayer to the Lord:
“When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.”
Perhaps, we need to catch a visual of ourselves becoming like the Hope diamond. . .one of the most famous of all precious stones.
There seems to be four main causes of pressure. . .whether externally or internally generated.
First, we get overloaded with more to do than the hours of the day will allow us to complete.
Second, we allow our emotions to create worry, anxiety and frustration which drains us emotionally and physically as well.
