GRATITUDE  -  TAKE OUT THE TRASH

"Stress is the trash of modern life.  We all generate it but if you don't dispose of it properly, it will pile up and overtake your life."
Danzae Pace

It's easy to say that we have to dispose of stress, but how do you do that?

After all, stress is caused by outside circumstances that we can't control, so we just have to deal with it, right?

Wrong! Stress is not caused by circumstances, it's caused by our reaction to circumstances. Our
thoughts create the stress.

When you feel stress, can't you hear your mind going through the details of all the bad things that might happen?

So how often do those terrible things happen? If all the terrible things we imagined happened to us, we'd be finished by now.

The first way to dispose of stress is to recognize it as not true. It's a fear of a future event that hasn't happened.

Secondly, we can look realistically at the possible negative outcomes and see that others have been there and survived. It was uncomfortable, but they survived and moved on.

Third, we can dispose of stress by making plans to correct the situation that's causing it. When we
have a plan, and take action, we change all the energy around it.

So when you find yourself generating "stress trash" put this 3-step process to work for you. Calm down, take a deep breath, and get to work on step 3.

You'll be glad you did.

Many blessings, Wes (Hopper)
