Topics of Stress
Elizabeth Bookser Barkley, Professor and Author

In several Days of Recollection I have offered, I have often focused
on the topic of stress.The following questions have been helpful for
participants taking part in the day:

• What people or situations do I encounter that consistently
  cause stress in my life?
• Is there any way that I can turn these struggles into moments
  of growth or grace?
• Who are the people in my life who have helped me or can
  help me with these struggles?
• Are there any simple, enjoyable activities I can build into my
  life to ease these stresses?
• Are there memories, songs or lines from poetry or Scripture
  that I can call upon to help me through difficult times?
