Really?

Is It Really That Bad?

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 10 months ago 1 min read
"Really?"

“Most of your stress

comes from the way you respond to life,

and not the way life really is.

Adjust your attitude

and leave that stress behind”

A lot of the stress in our Lives

comes from ourselves

and the ‘Thoughts’ that go through our Minds.

How we “Look at Life”

and the world around us

affects how we handle everyday Life.

When we choose to face this Life

with a Positive Attitude,

we can greatly reduce

or even eliminate

that ‘unwanted’ and ‘not needed’ stress.

This will show others and ourselves

that we are in “Control”

of our Lives,

because we are

"Controlling” our Minds.

All of this

will deal with and even get rid of

that stress.

‘Stand back’ and ‘look’ at your Life

and ask the question:

“Is it really that bad

or is it

that my Mind is running away with itself?”

Life is what we make it ourselves,

so if we want a stress-free Life,

keep the Mind in a Positive frame

and our own view on Life Optimistic.

This way,

we can Live Happier and Healthier Lives.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
