So there is a new survey conducted online by Talker Research 2000Americans says that 42% of us feel a little stressed every day and 25% of those under the age of 30 say they are burnt out. Wow. Now I submit to you that New York City and the downstate area is the stress capital of the world. So I saw it with my father. He had to get up 6:30 every morning, commute to the city, got home 6:30 at night, didn't particularly like his job and it just wore him out. So much so that it affected his health and he had to retire on disability at 55. And just the commute into New York City, unless you are a Zen person, puts an enormous amount of stress on people because you have to deal with so many other people and you have to deal with subways and trains and buses and traffic. Traffic is crazy. Now, now I'm not a patient man. So when I'm in traffic, that's stressful. A lot of people, they don't mind it. They have their earbuds in or they're doing something and ah, you know, and I give them credit because I'm too hyper. You know, I see this traffic. I can remember when I was commuting in every day to Fox News. It drove me nuts in and out of that place with the traffic. Oh my God. Now I don't have to commute and make my life a lot better. That's for sure. So we in America, we in New York City because there's eight and a half million people here. That's too many. We're jammed in. We got to deal with a lot more stress than you would if you were a cowboy out in Wyoming or, you know, a mellow person in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Although that didn't do Gene Hackman a lot of good. So you know what I'm talking about. This is the stress capital of the world right here. And that can really hurt you physically. So you gotta get stress busters, number one and number two, coping mechanisms. So one of the things that I've done is when I have to go into the city, I take the train. I never used to do that because a lot of people know me and I'm. I don't mind posing for the pictures or chatting with people, you know, but sometimes I'm working and it gets a little. And I. When I get driven in, I can work in a car and all that, but I take the train in. Now, the LIRR has been pretty good. About a half an hour from where I live, I'm in. And I need the exercise. So I just go up and walk, if I can, to my destination because, you know, I need to get out there and move it. That has not been stressful. I never take the subway because I'm too well known and it's too crowded and I'm not going to do it. I'm not afraid of the thugs. But my question is, do I need this? And the answer is no. So I'll walk or take a cab. That's helped. Stress busters. So if you have something to look forward to at the end of the day, that is a buster. So it could be something as simple as a nice dessert. I don't eat a lot of sugar, but, you know, say, yeah, maybe I'll get a Carvel hot fudge sundae. Maybe I do that once a month, but I look forward to it. That's the best hot fudge sundae in the world. I used to work at Carvel. It was my first job. And if there's a game on, I want to watch or a movie, but if you got something to look forward to, that busts the stress down and then there's physical activity. So I can't go to the gym for. I don't have time. But I do my own regimen. I can't say that I look forward to that. I do the power walk and I move it. And it's not fun, but I know I have to do it. But it does bust the stress. You get out the fresh air, you move it, and you're accomplishing something. It's all mental now. Gotta control the stress. If you don't control the stress, it is going to harm you physically. Something will go wrong in your body. Okay? So think about it.

Hey, I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by Faith. We have a very simple mission. We take the news the day, and we filter it through a biblical worldview. So here's the big story of the day. What does the Bible say about it, and how can we apply it? It's amazing. There's nothing new under the sun. The Bible has something to say about everything that's going on today. So basically, we thump the Bible over on Politics by Faith. I think we ought to keep MAGA going. And I think the way to take it beyond just a political victory into a true rebuilding and awakening and revival in America is to make sure that this is all grounded in biblical principles. And that's what we do on the podcast Politics by Faith. And you can subscribe to Politics by Faith wherever you're listening to the show right now.
