stress people remember
Some people are so used to experiencing stress that they don't remember what life was like without it.
stress moving believe
Stress is never a given. There are people who get divorced amicably. There are people who pack up and move with no emotional toll. There is no stressor 'out there' in the world. We experience stress - or we don't - depending on what we believe.
stress moving light
The elusive truth is that there is nothing stress-producing in the physical world. Things simply are. Molecules move. Light and sound appear.
worry balance hormones
The more you worry, the more you throw off the delicate balance of hormones required for health.
stress feel-better needs
You can't tell yourself that your stress is produced in your head and feel better. You still need to learn how to create a change.

When a friend is sick, I see the situation for what it is, not what it isn't, and I offer to help as much as she wants, not as much as I want.

To believe that your husband, wife, parents, kids, boss, job, bank account, or body is even partly responsible for your emotions, to think that there are bullets 'out there' that you have to contend with, that there are stressful life events to overcome, is to miss something vital.
stress believe thinking
Stress is a byproduct of subconscious beliefs you have about the world. You can't choose not to believe something. You believe it because you think it's true. To eliminate stress, you must learn to challenge these beliefs so that you see them differently.
stress numbers balance
The number of stressors has multiplied exponentially: traffic, money, success, work/life balance, the economy, the environment, parenting, family conflict, relationships, disease. As the nature of human life has become far more complicated, our ancient stress response hasn't been able to keep up.
hero men purpose
A hero holds purposes appropriate to man and is, therefore, a thinker.
oppression individual states
Statism – the subordination of the individual to the state - leads inevitably to the most hideous oppression.
stress bored arsenic
Stress is not the spice of life any more than arsenic is. And without it, you won't feel bored.
stress negative engagement
Stress is the negative whirlwind of emotions that gets imposed on top of our stimulation and engagement.
stress
It's time we learned the truth about stress. It's time we identified the thoughts that actually create our stress and learned to dismantle them one by one.
