A Short Note on Stress

You cannot see what you don’t look for, and you cannot look for what you don’t believe in. —Darren Hardy

Above: The tools of the trade.


Words are wonderful things.

Within the twenty-six letters that make up each and every one are countless lessons if you look closely.

For instance, stress is made up of just four letters: S T R E.

When rearranged, those same four letters also spell rest.

The simplicity of this observation belies its wisdom.

It seems to say that everything you need to handle stress—both good and bad, acute and chronic—can be found in rest.

Stress doesn’t kills us, our reaction to it does. So react with rest to whip your stress.

After all, they’re two side of the same coin and gently laying down your head is better than landing hard on your tail.

Replace those two extra s's with a few more z’s and heed the lessons that letters have to teach.
