| What is Stress? |
|
From a personal/subjective point of view it is a negative emotion/state (blocked/unbalanced energy) from which you perceive the situation you are in or thinking about, is beyond your resources
A friend told me the following, what do you think?
If you are doing something, Enjoy it | |
If you cannot enjoy it, avoid it | |
If you cannot avoid it, change it | |
If you cannot change it, change your viewpoint |
You can easily do this through Training or Self Help
