I Believe Life Is a Life Long Lesson(both)

Do you let negative stress take control of your life?
We always hear how stress wears us down.
We hear that stress can be beneficial to us in small doses.
Something I do not ascribe to.
I am completely in agreement to the maxim that a lot of stress is extremely detrimental to the majority of us.
Personally I do not handle stress at all well.
So I do everything possible to rid myself of the possibility of taking on stress.
The longer we hold onto stressful situations the more we are negatively affected by that stress.
Look at it this way
It is quite easy to hold a lightweight object in our hand in an outstretched arm.
The longer we hold the object away from the body, the heavier the object seems to become.
The weight of the object has not changed but the effect on our muscles has begun to have a detrimental effect.
It may be easy to hold the object outstretched for 10 minutes with minimal discomfort.
After half an hour? We begin to show signs of faltering.
An hour? We are unable to withstand the onslaught of the effects on our muscles and we crumple. Total muscle collapse.
Miraculously, the moment we drop our arm, release the weight, we begin to recover.
So by releasing ourselves from stressful situations as soon as possible the less damage we do to ourselves.
Let go of stressful situations and do not take them to bed with you so you can wake each morning refreshed and burden free.

The Gold in life, mind peace.

That's why daily meditation helps, to lesson, the worry, the angst of life. Maybe slower than your method, in the long term, though, ones gets to know those thoughts that take hold and cause stress.

Yes, less stress, is amazing. ....

@curiosi It is called, Synchronicity.
It is a concept which holds that events are "meaningful coincidences" if they occur with no causal relationship yet seem to be meaningfully related.

There is no such thing as stressfree life...we need a small amount of it to keep us moving...letting go of stressful situations is much easier said than done...PTSD keeps one in sympathetic mode, and not all are able to recover from trauma, but there is always hope!

Yes...but so hard to get...

Much easier said than done..when a person has PTSD, for instance, or any severe trauma, the body is in chronic stress mode because it remembers..deep diaphragmatic breathing helps, but not sure about a cure.
