Stress: The 60 Second Overview

Stress when we talk of it in relation to machines, refers to how much the machine can take before it will break.

In the same way people have a limit as to how much they can take.

Stress depletes us. It makes us less than we are. It takes away our ability to be effective... to think clearly and rationally... and therefore it cuts off options. Options that possibly could provide solutions.

Since the experience of life is really a response to our continuous selection of various options. Stress diminishes and lessens our experience of life.

Happiness is all about freedom. Or more accurately, perceived freedom. The freer we are, the happier we feel.

We feel tense when options seem to be closing off to us... unless we act now.

If we feel pressed down to one option and stuck we feel de-pressed.

We can overcome stress and tension when we have the clarity to see - beyond the panic and fear of the moment - the broader and deeper perspective that will solve the problem concerned.

If we base our lives from this broader and deeper perspective. In other words, if we allow ourselves to see more possibilities... more options... we will soon find that we cut off the source of stress, before it reaches our experience.

And then you can experience true peace of mind and tranquillity.
