Listening to music helps me lower stress. I can’t really dance anymore, but I do chair-dance with enthusiasm‼️ Moving to music is my favorite distracting activity.

The opposite of stress is peace and true, lasting peace is found only in total trust of our God.

It's in our nature to worry about many things in our day to day life. Wouldn't be human if we didn't.

Well, I like my wine, but also like to read! Never needed much sleep. At least it didn't mention the current "great god" mindfulness which I find SO IRRITATING!
