Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7

You can’t be grateful and anxious at the same time. These two are handled by the same part of your brain: amygdala, and can only hold one at a time.

Neuroplasticity

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:2

The brain is like plastic: we can form it and train it any way we want.Everytime we feel, do, or think something, a new pathway is formed. The more we do it, the more often the brain will chose it again. This is called a habit.

If we wake up everyday filling our minds with negative thoughts, the brain will believe it. Not because it’s true, but because the brain is getting influenced by it.Hence if you believe you are going to have a bad day, you will have one.

Renew your mind. You are loved by God, always will be. Weather you are a believer or not.Think about positive things, believe positive things. And they will come. The more you practice positivity, the easier it will be for your brain to chose that way. It’s not a one time activity.

What To Do?

The Lord, Jesus Christ, payed a price for us. He wore a crown of thorns so we can have mental clarity.He loves you, always will. A simple prayer is where you talk about whatever is on your heart. God listens. Always will.

The Lord

I found SPIRITUAL MEDICINE for ANXIETY! | science and the Bible

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of it’s own.

Matthew 6:36

Only carry the weight of today. It’s light, and only lasts until the night comes. Wake up like the future doesn’t exist. It doesn’t, yet.

Tomorrow. What is tomorrow? Until it becomes today.

Live today fully, and worry not of the future.

Having a bad day? This short animated story will change your life.  A simple secret to a sweet, happy and more peaceful life amidst the stress and anxiety. "One secret to a sweet and happy life, is learning to live by the day.  It is the long stretches that tire us.  We think of life as a hole, running on for us.  We can not carry this load.  We can not fight this battle continuously for a half a century.  But really, there are no long stretches.  Life does not come at us all at one time; it comes only a day at a time.  Even tomorrow is never ours until it becomes today.  

It is a blessed secret this, living by the day.  Any one can carry his burden, however heavy, till nightfall.  Any one can do her work, however hard, for one day.  Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, until the sun goes down.  And this is all life ever means to us - just one little day.  “Do ... not weaken or distract yourself by looking forward to things you can not see, and can not understand”.  God gives us night, to shut down our little days.  We can not see beyond."  
 
-Fr. Lasance, My Prayer Book, p.51.

A short story on how to make life a little more cheerful

You are not a procastinator, you have a habit of procastinating. There is a big difference. With science habits can be broken.

You Are Not A Procastinator

The moment you find yourself wanting to do something else instead of your task, recognize it. The trigger in case of procastination is always stress. Procastination will only bring more stress.

<ol><li>Recognize you are stressed</li><li>count: 5-4-3-2-1 to make your brain conscious and to break the pattern</li><li>start doing 5 minutes of the work. </li></ol>

If you keep finding yourself stuck in that loop of stress and avoiding the things you know you need to do, WATCH THIS. 

I give you my tools for dealing with procrastination… I know they’ll work for you too.

If you struggle with procrastination, you're not alone. Research from a PhD at the University of Calgary found that 80–95% of college students are procrastinators. 

There's also nothing wrong with you. You don't lack willpower, drive, and focus. It also has nothing to do with your work and your ability to get it done. 

If you beat yourself up for procrastinating, that ends now. And here's why:

You're looking at procrastination wrong. Rather than a trait or sign of motivation, it's simply a habit.

A habit that comes about in response to life stress.

In this video, learn the only way you can break the habit of procrastination–for good. This simple 4-step strategy will help you stop procrastinating and in the process make you happier and less stressed.

The ONLY Way To Stop Procrastinating | Mel Robbins

Maybe there is one thing that if you got, had, would be different, you would be willing to start. What is it?

Journal. Start it with a session of writing about your situation, feelings before any of the work. Facing something this way makes you aware of your abstract emotions, making it easier to find a solution and solve it, starting what you want to avoid.

Life is less about finding and more about seeking.

If we found everything at once, what would we be curious about? If finding would be easy, what would motivate us to keep going?

Many times when we seek, the process itself is what we find, not the end when we finish seeking something.When we seek we go on a little journey. The journey is about the way. Exploring, seeing new site, or just seeing the same old things in another way.

When we seek, we are willing to leave our comfort zones. When we seek, we go with the expectation to find. Not at the end, something big, something flashy. It’s more in the details. Carefully hidden. Maybe it’s in the way our thinking has shifted. The thoughts we had during the times we spent on the matter. Maybe a little something we barely noticed because it’s so casual.

Life is beautiful. If you feel like you don’t find anything interesting, try to search in the things you already have,

Seeking

Before you start teaching, it’s essential to know one thing: You have to prepare to teach.You may have a diploma, know what materials you need to be familiar with, have decent communication skills, etc. But you must understand there is a difference between being a teacher because you have a diploma, and being a teacher, because many gets inspired by your lessons, learn new things and leave the classroom feeling prepared.In other words:A teacher with diploma fulfills the reqirement of the education system.A teacher who teaches puts the students as priority.

Understand

Before you start teaching, you must know about learning. How do students learn? In many ways.Hence:<ul><li>many times some students will perfectly understand the material, while some won’t have a clue at all.</li></ul> They all attended all your classes, payed attention just the same way, prepared, yet they have different results. You have to understand different learning styles. You have to be patient, do research and prepare. Cajun Koi Academy on youtube has many great videos about it.

What to do?

Exam: Should test a student’s knowledge. Not what they memorized, but what they understood with their own way of thinking, and words.<ol><li>Put together the exam.</li></ol>First put together everything you want to include in the chapter. Make sure it is done in a frame: has everything from beginning to end.Then plan your lessons according to what you want in the exam, not the other way around. Many teachers mess up this. They abstractly, with no plan start to give lessons, and expect students to have a correct big picture from the many different little pieces. Without structure, it won’t make sense.

How To Organize Materials For An Exam

Don’t put too much material in one exam. The less, is the better. Easier to learn, understand, and will lead to better grades.
Max. 3 lessons should be able to inclue everything for the exam. If it was not enough, you should part the materials and rather have two smaller exams.

It’s best to keep things as simple as possible

Whatever topic you teach, make sure it’s easy to follow on, and spot the connection between ideas. Think about it: as a student what questions would you have after reading your presentation?
don’t mention unnecessary information.
when you mention information, don’t use synonyms. Use the exact same words. The more they hear it, the more likely they will remember it. When you use a synonym, as fresh information they might mistake it for a completely different thing.

Use keywords, colors and and chop it up to small portions

Color code everything: Title, information, etc. And stick to it. 
It will be much easier to understand and remember.
