5 Ways To Combat That Stress

Stress is a disease that can be
partially cured. Here are a few
thoughts that may help you live more in
peace with yourself.

1.They say that 'primordial stress'
is related to our unspoken fear of
dying, of the end of life. But is it
really dying that we are afraid of? No,
because we don't know what dying really
is. With the end of our existence also
comes the end of consciousness and
sensation, and so how can we know
anything of dying?

2.Stress is generated by a fear of
not being perfect.
So, you believe you are perfect, do
you? Well, you should know that you
have never been perfect, because your
lack of modesty allowed you to think
that you were. And there can be no
perfection where there is a lack!

3.Stress comes from being afraid
that you can't get everything done on
time.
Time, like space, is an extendable
dimension. It is one of those rare
commodities that can be bestowed almost
without limit. Remember that nothing
grand or beautiful was ever
accomplished in a day.

4.Stress comes from fearing that you
do not correspond to the self image you
want to project.
The eye does not see the object
itself, but the image of the object.
You too are just a reflection in other
people's eyes. They will never see you
as you really are, no matter how hard
they try. So why worry?

5.Stress arises when you don't know
how to say no.
You do know how to say no. Do you
need proof? Well, the fact that you are
alive and reading these lines means
that you have succeeded in saying no
many times, both with your body and
with your mind. That's because living
means refusing to die, day after day.

You can start lowering your stress
level starting today. All you have to
do is choose your priorities!
