SOMETIMES WE GET THE ELEVATOR; SOMETIMES WE GET THE SHAFT.

Handle Stress Without Tension

Stress is an unavoidable part of life. 

Itโ€™s not about having a stress-free life- itโ€™s about learning how to deal with it gracefully.

Think of the last stressful moment you had.

How did you react?

Did you get angry and tense up? Or were you able to breathe and move through it?

The more we work on our reaction when things go differently than weโ€™d hoped, the happier we will be.

For this 5-Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Dan Millman where he shared his definition of stress and the practice that helps him with it.

Dan Millman is a former world champion athlete, university coach, martial arts instructor, and college professor. After an intensive, twenty-year spiritual quest, Danโ€™s teaching found its form as the Peaceful Warriorโ€™s Way. He has now written seventeen books.
