At times I rush about with such intensity that it must look to others as if someone is chasing me. And before long I find myself battling another case of the crazies: first the little twitch in the outer corner of my left eye, then the days when I find myself snapping at folks, and the nights when sleep won't come. Every emotion and mental attitude we are host to creates after its kind. So when we forget to stay centered, our bodies begin to weaken, our thoughts become confused, our words are less careful, our decisions less sure. We become magnets for the very physical and emotional ailments we most want to avoid--and all because we are letting the world sweep us along on its rushing tide, rather than experiencing and enjoying the moments of our lives.

No one can escape stress,
but you can learn to cope with it.
Practice positive thinking. . .
seize control in small ways.

Stress is the resistance to what's happening right now.
As we allow ourselves to open to this moment fully,
there is absolutely no stress.
