Stress Management
There are some false beliefs about stress that we have acquired:
"You have to be overworking and constantly under pressure to experience stress"
Truth: Some people only work a few hours a day and are hardly ever confronted by deadlines or other pressures, but they are more stressed than those working long hours to tight deadlines. It's not what you do, or when you have to do it by, that causes your stress; it's how you perceive the 'whats' and 'whens' of daily life that generates your stress. It's your perception.
Have you ever watched two people doing the same or similar work, to the same deadlines? One tears their hair out with a lot of anxiety. The other is completely relaxed while doing it. Why the difference? Perception. It's how each one perceives what they do and the possible outcome. Your perception is based on your beliefs.
Beliefs don't come built into your genes. All beliefs are learned. We learn them, send them into our subconscious and they then pop up and out through our thoughts, emotions and words. The problem is we not only hold beliefs, we identify with them, and some of us will even kill and die for them. This is extremely silly when you realize that belief is not the truth, and nothing is worth dying for.
In Spiritual Service,
