Meanwhile.  Each evening write a list of what you need/want to do.  Re-write the list in order of priority--most important task first.  Then force yourself to do the list before any TV or Internet.

Step 1 is to learn how to breathe. Right now take a deep breath, into your chest, but also into your belly. And let it out slowly. And now do it again. Into your chest an then into your belly, very slowly. rest. And one more time. Really big this time. Into your chest and into your belly. Good. This is the introduction to relieving stress. A very important step to take in making a change in your life. Contact me if you really want to find ouy I made a great change in my life.

Answer 4

I totally agree, I'd want to do that too. Make a really concrete plan, write it somewhere or try to convince a friend to do it with you.  People who give themselves real goals (for example, saying you will do something this way and when you're going to do that exactly) have more success than people who give themselves abstract goals (Someday I will be this way and stop doing so etc.).

Good luck!

Answer 5

Physical exercise is great, and enjoying the good life is fine. But suppose you get sick or are in an accident?  Or disaster strikes, so you can't enjoy entertainment or travel?

Life is only really meaningful and fruitful when it is lived for God, because He made us for Himself and His purpose, not ours. His rewards for those who serve Him last into eternity. God is wisdom, knowledge and understanding, and if you connect with Him, He'll share these virtues and more with you, so you can be successful.

This is NOT religion, but about relationship.

A relationship with God begins when you believe on and confess Jesus Christ as Lord, turn away from wrong, ask Him for forgiveness, and do whatever He asks. If you want you guidance into a productive life that can affect your family, community, friends forever, pray this out loud;

"Dear Lord Jesus, come into my heart. Forgive me of my sin. Wash me and cleanse me. Set me free. Jesus, thank You that You died for me. I believe that You are risen from the dead and that You’re coming back again for me. Fill me with the Holy Spirit. Give me a passion for the lost, a hunger for the things of God and a holy boldness to preach the gospel of  Jesus Christ. I’m saved; I’m born again, I’m forgiven and I’m on my way to Heaven because I have Jesus in my heart. Amen."

If you meant what you just prayed, Congratulations, and welcome to the family of God!

Now keep the relationship going by

o Talking to God everyday. Let Him have your worries.

o Daily read, practice, and meditate on His Word (the Bible). Try an easy-to-read version, like CEV or The Message. Start with the book of St. John, and the book of Proverbs, especially chapter 16:3.

o Make friends and get involved serving at a local Bible-teaching, Holy Spirit-filled church (like Charismatic or Pentecostal).

o Get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ

o Tell others about Jesus and how He's blessed you.

My relationship with the Lord has led to my freedom from frustration, lack of direction, despair,torment, and promotion. If you put God first, there's no telling where He'll lead you.
