Stress

The road we all travel on in life leads to stress at one point or another but for some stress is the unwanted passenger.  Be it for long hauls or just quick trips stress shouldn't be able to dictate the radio station if you are driving nor should it decide where you have to stop at for rests.  It's your car and your driving so pick the radio station and where you choose to rest along this journey we call life.
How is it that people give stress the ability to dictate their lives.  When you start allowing the focus of everything in your life to be about the things that aren't working, you can't afford, or just don't want to do but have decided to do then stress is choosing the radio station and where you stop.  Getting control of your car takes you making some decisions as to what your focus needs to be and defining your limits.  Stress is defined as what you feel when you have to handle more than you are used to, feeling worn out. Key things to know and stick to: 1) What's important  2) What can't you  avoid doing   3) Timelines  4) What doesn't need doing.  If you still feel everything needs doing remember this if you are stressed now your body is coming close to it's limits so decide whether or not it's worth physical damage or physical discomfort to your body. No pain no gain! But How much pain and how much gain?
