The other stops discussed in the book
are:
Fourth stop: Fill up your reserve tank
of faith. Reduce your stress as you increase your faith. Fifth Stop: Add
nourishing meals of love to lower your stress. Be more loving as you travel
today. Sixth Stop: Loosen up and enjoy the trip: yes, the gospel does
teach you to relax and enjoy life!
Seventh Stop: Travel daily with the power of Christlike thoughts: change
your feelings and behaviors by changing your thoughts.
Eighth Stop: Avoid the side roads of member teachings. Instead, choose
the freeway of stress-reducing gospel teaching. Ninth Stop: Avoid the
impassable road of too high expectations: reduce your stress by having
appropriate expectations.
Tenth Stop: Avoid the road of perfectionism: strive for perfection while
avoiding stress-causing perfectionism. Eleventh Stop: Give Christlike
service as you travel your road of life. Avoid the service stopping chuckhole of
codependency. Twelfth Stop: Travel with a healthy body through exercise,
good nutrition and relaxation. Be aware of physical origins of stress.
Thirteenth Stop: Reduce your stress as you travel by listening for feelings
and improving your communication skills. Fifteenth Stop: Forgive those
who bump into you as you travel the road of life: forgiveness is the very heart
of stress-reduction. Sixteenth Stop: Follow Christ to your destination of
peace. Stay on the path that leads to comfort and peace.
Acknowledgements
I want to acknowledge the help of
many people in writing this book. It would not have been possible without the
support of Darla Hanks Isakson, Editor of Covenant Communications, and her
assistant, Alan Sevison. Their suggestions, editing, and support have made this
book a more quality product. I also want to thank Arlene Bascom and Gillian
Nicolaides for their help with the manuscript, Kay Allen whose willingness (for
many years) to allow me to use his ideas on the Love/Trust level of reality has
resulted in blessing the lives of many, James Baumgarten for the gracious use of
his poem “Hunility” and all those who have contributed to my life and assisted
me in my desires to bless the lives of others.
Many of my ideas have been developed
over the years from sources such as talks and lectures, and many of my sources
are unknown. The desire to give proper credit for every thought and to be
totally honest has resulted in numerous phone calls and replies such as “Feel
free to use it”. I don't know where I learned it, and I don't think any of us
know the sources of all we teach." The processes has resulted in my increased
tolerance for those who freely use my ideas. I feel it is as the Savior said,
“Freely ye have received, freely give." (Matthew 10:8.)
Another way I love to serve is by
speaking to the Saints. For years I have enjoyed speaking at numerous BYU
Education Weeks and Know Your Religion Seminars across the United States. I
would be glad to come to your ward or stake if it can be arranged. I would also
like to make a request for feedback: Please let me know if this book has helped
your journey through life. My home address is 1825 E. Faunsdale Drive, Sandy,
Utah 84092.
