Tuesday Tip

 

 

Today’s Tuesday Tip  is one that is helpful for everyone to remember, and it’s particularly important for those of us with chronic pain and illness. (And it’s one that’s not always easy to do. Remembering this is still a work in progress for me.)

You can only control your own actions/reactions. We can’t control what other people do. We can’t change them. We can’t make them more kind or understanding. We can’t make them more like us in our responses to others, etc.
Stressing about what others do or don’t do will not change anything … except raise our stress (and likely pain) levels.
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Instead, take a deep breath. Pause. Change what you can change (your own actions/reactions) when possible. Then turn the rest over to the Lord. He is more than capable of handling things.
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
I hope you have a blessed, low-pain day.
