INTRODUCTION—
LIVING A STRESS-FREE LIFE
“I will lift up my eyes to the hills -- From where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”
? Psalm 121:1-2
God is the ultimate role model for coping with chaos in a stress-free way. The Creation story reveals God’s stress defense tasks. The world and all that dwells within it was not created in one day. God expected to be able to complete the project in an appropriate manner, despite the original chaos and disorder (Genesis 1:2). He started at the top: Light was ordered to bring clarity to the project (Genesis 1:3). One bit of the project was tackled at a time, and at the end of each day, God reflected on his work, stating “it is good” (Genesis 1: 9-31).
When man was alone in the Garden of Eden, God reconsidered the effect of loneliness and isolation on the man’s ability to experience happiness in life. God created a companion, encouraging mutual support and productivity (Genesis 2:18-22). And on the seventh day, God rested (Genesis 2:2). God took care of himself, allowing for recuperation and rejuvenation in readiness to handle the next challenges.
The Creation story provides a guide for managing big challenges. There are seven tasks. Learning and practicing these tasks will help you experience peace, joy and harmony in your daily life. A stress-free life is available to all. Growing in peace, harmony and self-respect is a gift at any age.
