When Stress Dominates

When Stress Dominates is a portion of a quote I read in Holly M. Andrews’ book “Heal Your Stress from the Inside Out,” and I’m pondering it with you today.

For Lent 2025, I’ll be writing new blog posts every day. I’m writing for only five unedited minutes on a quote of the day to deepen our faith in this Lenten season.

Day 17 of Lent 2025 – March 21

I’m thrilled to be the editor, cover designer, interior designer, and book launch manager for Heal Your Stress from the Inside Out, the first book from my friend Holly M. Andrews. We met when we were fellow students at Covenant College, and now God has brought us back together in this creative collaboration.

When Stress Dominates

Is stress dominating your life? It has certainly dominated mine many times, especially during times of crisis and trauma. Holly has dealt with major stress in a high-ranking position as a government official, and she knows exactly what the struggles feel like as a wife, mother, and friend. Stress impacted every portion of her life, and she finally learned to break free from it by developing healthier habits.

Holly’s book is highly informative with lots of research. However, she presents the detailed information in an easy-to-understand way. She gives insight into how our bodies and brains suffer from the effects of stress, and how healthy habits can reverse the damaging effects of stress.

Though I’ve been committed to a healthy lifestyle for years, I learned many new and helpful facts from Holly’s book. Her encouraging wisdom is helping me sleep better, order my day with greater intention, and make better eating choices. I’m thankful Holly writes from a faith-based perspective so I can trust her advice even more.

I’ve been privileged to read the whole book as an editor, and I can’t wait for you to read it too. It will be releasing into the world soon, and I hope you will consider joining us for the launch in April and May. Learn more about the book launch HERE.

Join me again tomorrow for another reflection on a different quote. I encourage you to share your thoughts about today’s quote in the comments below.
