Already Stressed and the Holiday Season is Barely Starting?

As we enter the holiday hustle and bustle, messages that encourage us to simplify and prioritize are timely.  I loved Dieter F. Uchtdorf’s statement in October 2012, in his talk called “Of Regrets and Resolutions”:

 “Isn’t it true that we often get so busy? And, sad to say, we even wear our busyness as a badge of honor, as though being busy, by itself, was an accomplishment or sign of a superior life.”

His talk is worth another read.  You can listen to it as well as read it at the following link:

In addition, these “quick read” online articles came across my desk this week. They contain helpful reminders of how to reduce stress, so stress will not take a toll on our health.  I hope you find them beneficial as well.  Please share your insights about stress or resources in the comments below.
