The secret to success
Become who you are.
First, understand that stress does not resolve itself, and energy expended to remove stress is actually giving energy to stress, so it increases stress.
The only way to pause stress is to remove activity – autogenic programming
After activity is removed, real action can be taken to help to return the system to normal function/remove the stress.
When that has been done, ask yourself what it is that you know you need. What do you know in your heart is right for you?
Then ask yourself, with relation to that topic, what is your current reality?
The difference between those two things is the amount of stress you experience. The greater the distance between what you know in your heart is right for you and what your actual situation is, is stress.
Once you know that difference, it’s up to you to act on it. Move toward the side of the continuum that is you, and away from the side that is not-you.
