What You Do and Don’t Stress Over Is Your Choice
Nobody lives stress-free.
Life is crazy. Much of this is by its very nature. Existing in this world, in the body you call your own, is fraught with all kinds of craziness in and of itself. The aging process alone is enough to drive a person mad.
Then there are the people, places, and things — both tangible and intangible — that are part of life but not you. I don’t care where your politics lie, you can’t tell me that what’s happening in the world today is in any way, shape, or form, normal. This is all crazy.
Both from within and without, you’re presented with a sometimes seemingly endless stream of craziness. Then, you’re presented with a myriad of opinions, viewpoints, concepts, ideologies, and so on. Unless you’ve successfully made yourself a hermit, disconnected from it all and living off the grid, this can, will, and does impact you.
The result of the craziness of life is stress. Stress will do all sorts of things to you on every imaginable level. It can hit you mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and even physically. Stress will drive you but also still you. How it impacts you will differ depending on circumstances, happenstance, time, place, space, and numerous factors in and out of your control.
