Whenever you are feeling stressed, one of the best things to do is just to pause and take a new perspective of the situation.
Remember that God is bigger than the trial or problem.
Pray. Cast your burdens on the Lord. Allow Him to give you His peace. Hearing God's Word will build your faith and trust, which are weapons against stress and anxiety.
Pause. Remember what Christmas is about again. Pause and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. Make the Christmas traditions meaningful in your home. Spend time on those priorities- the things that will rejuvenate you.
Letting our hearts be focused on Jesus at Christmas is the ultimate stress reliever. Let us be filled with awe again, at the fact that the Lord of glory came in the likeness of men, in order to redeem humanity. Because of this, we as Christians can shout, "Joy to the world, the Lord is come!"
