Remember that stress doesn't come from what's going on in your life. It comes from your thoughts about what's going on in your life.
Stress is the negative whirlwind of emotions that gets imposed on top of our stimulation and engagement.
If you're successful and stressed out, you're succeeding in spite of your stress, not because of it.
The truth is that stress doesn't come from your boss, your kids, your spouse, traffic jams, health challenges, or other circumstances. It comes from your thoughts about these circumstances.
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.
