STRESS is Not Distress!

If you feel stressed (out) at times, I urge you to Remember that ‘STRESS’ need not necessarily lead to Distress.

YOU are in control at all times, so DO Remain In Charge.

You NEVER need to agree or resign yourself to “lie down” and let stress take you over…like some canines do in the harsh conditions in the Arctic at times, and accept death.

Stress, just like many other negative and destructive thoughts, forces, feelings and elements which affect the quality of our lives, is a two-edged sword.

For stress can be Positive as well as it is Negative in nature.

So, ALWAYS Take Over and Redirect its Negative energies and ill-effects into Positive, useful ones.

Like adrenalin, one of Nature’s amazing protective gifts that empowers us to Fight instead give in to Flight, Stress can be used for our benefit every time that we sincerely desire and firmly decide to turn it into an ally instead of an enemy.

Learning how and practicing this healthy habit can virtually be a Life-saving exercise. Just as Ease, when co-mingled with Negative Stress (DIStress), becomes DISease and vice-versa: YOU are always In Control and Have the Decision-Making means to render Destructive forces into Constructive, Protective and Beneficial ones.

Best of all, you already possess all the tools needed to be used in this process: your powerful Sub-Conscious Brain.

“How” to productively use this awesome machinery is part of what S.L.I.M. For Life © teaches.

Wishing you a hopeful, happy weekend!

Your Friend,

Jacques
