About worry, anxiety and stress... We gain a clearer insight into what Jesus meant when we understand the meaning of the Greek word translated for thought at Matthew 6:25. In this text, the Greek word for thought means over anxious or very careful. In other words, undue worry or "stress." Worry is an obsession that does us no good, and Jesus is here teaching against it. Worry and anxiety are two obsessions that show a lack of trust in God, and make us like magnets fo...r further mental confusion, discord and stress. However, it is easier to avoid stress on a practical level than to avoid worry, which is a more subjective burden. Here are some tips on avoiding stress on a practical level: 1) Be aware of your limits, 2. )e content with small but realistic goals, 3) Learn to accept what you cannot change, 4) Develop balance in your daily activities, and 5) Practice the principle of elimination.
