ALL stress is imagined. Stress is the result of an imagination run amok.
People, things and situations have no power to stress me out. It’s what I think and believe about them that stresses me out.
Sometimes I get distracted by something fun or interesting and my stress will leave me for a while. Then I’ll remember: “Oh yeah! I’m dealing with a stressful situation” and the stress will rush back in.
No stressful thought, no stress.
And if a distracted mind is enough to take away my stress, that must be where my stress lives: In my mind.
So if that’s where it lives, how do I alleviate it?
I work with my mind: I recognize the cause of my stress then get still and use my imagination to question what I’m thinking and believing for the love of Truth.
I’ll know I’ve found it when I am at peace.
