In my most universal and least personal thinking, I believe that everything is just as it’s meant to be.  Or more simply, everything is okay, all of the time. This belief does not however easily translate to the ways I experience what I perceive to be less than ideal scenarios in life.  Lately when I start to feel my anxiety over any given situation rise, and my mind go into its familiar role as an incredible over-thinker, I’ve started to say to myself, this is not a problem.  When I remember to say this to myself, I can literally feel tension in my body release.

I’ve heard some interesting things about stress lately. Mainly in that stress is neither good nor bad for you on its own. Rather the affects from stress are directly linked to how you perceive the stress.  I should look this up and figure out where it’s said, and who said it, but I’m not going to do that.  I’ll simply choose to believe that it is true. {wink}
