The Christine Bible has the following verses about sleep (Psalms 121:3 Psalms 121:5-6), through sleep God gives us guidance and revelatory dreams (Gen 20:6-7 ; Judges 7:13-15 ; 1 Kings 3:5 ; Matt 1:20 ; Matthew 2:12-13 Matthew 2:22), Sleep is always good for each person (Jeremiah 31:26; Proverbs 3:24; Psalm 3:5; 4:8; 127:2) and in Psalm 116:7 sleep is good as it`s from the Almighty God who is always good.

Emotional stress is one of the major contributing factors to ill health, as we encounter and carry on with our daily activities, we note come across issues that affect us physical, mentally and socially, may people who come for medical check-up have emotional health issues, and the common word “feeling unwell, with headache, fatigue, weakness and etc.”

Most of the time people prefer investigation to find out what is the cause making them unwell. Only few individuals can accept that they are going through a stressful situation. I realized that stress could manifest in different forms, in one encounter I find a client when I took the blood pressure measure it was 200/140 and this high blood pressure, and medical emergencies, later the client reported to me that he is undergoing a demanding situation. I have to request the client to take a rest for some time, later we discuss the elevated blood pressure, and its stress induced. Coping with our emotional health and take control of it can help in ensure we live healthy life.

3.Self-discipline

Many times in our setting we encounter people talk about what they are told not to do either by their elders, friends, relatives, religious leaders or the health professionals, as they mighty have seen an activity that endangers ones health status, however, in some circumstances you may get conflicting information, for example with some chronic conditions you are expected to continue with medication, but other people may tell you discontinue the medication, due to this some people end up complications which may be parament for example paralysis or chronic organ conditions.

Therefore, keeping help can be maintained through, quality sleep, positive coping with our emotional stress and self-discipline in anything that you do can, all this can contribute to maintaining healthy lifestyle.
