Stress

"Nothing outside of yourself can make you feel stressed. Stress never happens in the moment. Stress is either anxiety about the future, thinking about the endless to-do list hanging over our heads, or stress is holding on to things that happened in the past. But here-like right in this moment? Right here now? There is no stress here. It's a creation of our mind.
Many of us have become habituated, even addicted to a high level of urgency. Even as we complain about too much to do, our minds crave yet more stimulus. We have a free moment in our schedule, we surf the Net or pick up something to read rather than breathe deeply and renew our energy. We live in a society that invites urgency, so we most cultivate a discipline of self-reflection and what we call "state shifting " in order to stay centered amidst the intensity of our work." -Robert Gass

To know what is expressed in the above quote is really important if living a balanced life is something you truly want.

In our world stress is created by our minds and in the urgency of our societal norms and beliefs.

Can we choose to be different? Absolutely!

Will it be challenging? Maybe...

If you choose to stay connected to needs such as peace, joy, ease or simplicity you can align your mind, values and lifestyle to meet those needs. To do that takes courage, commitment and a practice of inner reflection that supports you to remember the life you want.
You may get derailed from time to time which is simply part of the journey...you can choose to get back on your track at any time.

You can live in this culture without choosing what others choose. You can find peace, joy, ease and simplicity more often.
