from the catacumbes/de las catacumbas From a lecture of Dr. George A. Rekers. Distinguished Professor Emeritus Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Science, whom I was able to meet last weekend, I learned the following:
1. Stress is normal and results from any situation that requires adaptation.
2. Stress can become physically and emotionally harmful when is continuous “distress”
3. Every person can reduce their vulnerability to stress:
· Become aware of your body signals
· Evaluate how vulnerable you are to stress
· Have good social support (love and encouragement of friends and family)
· Take good care of your body (healthy eating, exercise, good sleep)
4. Although you cannot change the situation producing stress you can change your perception to it.
· View change as a challenge, not as a catastrophe/threat
· Be actively involved in your life…don’t hang around
· Have a sense of control, believing that you can make changes everyday that will affect the situation
5. Learn from Biblical principles: (supported by Dr. Harold Koenig from Duke University, faculty of medicine)
· A relationship with God helps to lighten up the discouragement produced by negative experiences
· Faith nurtures motivation and energy to overcome it
· God designed mankind to have a relationship with Him. Stress should be coped with His help, never by us alone. Phil 4:4-7; Heb 13:5; Rom 8:28
-How we perceive a situation determines how we respond to it.
-Advantages that Christians have:
· God works all things for the good of the Christians
· Christians have the Holy Spirit in us Gal 5:22.

De una conferencia del Dr. George A. Rekers. Distinguido Profesor Emeritus Neuropsiquiatría y Ciencia del Comportamiento, a quien tuve el honor de conocer el fin de semana pasado, aprendí lo siguiente:
1. Cada Persona puede reducir su vulnerabilidad al stress:
· Estar mas conciente de las señales de tu cuerpo
· Evaluar cuan vulnerable eres al stress
· Tener buen apoyo social (amor y animo de amigos y familia)
· Cuidar tu cuerpo (alimentación sana, ejercicio, dormir bien)
2. aunque no puedes cambiar la situación produciendo stress puedes cambiar tu percepción de esta
· Ver los cambios como desafíos, no catástrofes/amenazas
· Estar activamente involucrado en tu vida…no ser mediocre
· Tener control, creyendo que puedes efectuar cambios cada día que afectaran la situación
3. Aprender de principios bíblicos: (Respaldado por el profesor Harold Koenig del departamento de Medicina de la Universita Duke)
· Una relación con Dios ayuda a alivianar el desanimo producido por experiencias negativas
· La fe nutre la motivación y la energía para superar
· Dios diseño al hombre para tener una relación personal con El. Stress debe ser afrontado con su ayuda, nunca solos. Fil 4:4-7; Heb 13:5; Rom 8:28
-Como percivimos una situación determina como respondemos a esta.
-Ventajas que tienen los Cristianos:
· Dios transforma todo para el bien de los Cristianos
· Cristianos tienen al Espíritu Santo en nosotros Gal 5:22
