WELLNESS

Each and everything that one does either affects his or her life positively or negatively, it only depends if it is good or bad. The things that people go through on their daily lives also affect their lives thus one may become stressed because of work pressure of pressure from friends and family. In order to combat stress, I usually work hard, as this reduces my chances of being stressed. Due to working hard, I am usually rewarded and this really helps me in combating stress. Moreover, I usually read the bible, and follow the word of the lord (Chapter 4). This not only makes me to grow spiritually, but it also gives me ideas on how to cope with different situations. Through reading the bible and following its commands, I have been able to avoid stress and to overcome the fear to live happily.

Due to the pressure that I usually get either from friends or family, I usually do a lot of physical exercises, in order to reduce burnout and fatigue. Through doing exercises my body becomes fit, the pumping of blood by my heart becomes smooth and I can be able to relax. This not only helps me to reduce fatigue but it also helps me to be able to reduce my chances of falling sick. Moreover, I also take bible study seriously, whereby it helps me to live according to the will of the lord and not according to the way I want to live (Chapter 26).
