Do you know what you think about really important matters? Did you choose the right career path? How did your childhood affect you? Are the answers possibly locked inside of you? You may feel as though you need to know everything immediately and never take the time to truly contemplate.
How often do you say, “I’m fine, thanks” — even when you are carrying so much inside of you? The truth is that you may be compassionate to everyone but your sweet self. What does your inner voice sound like? Is it highly critical every time you make a mistake?
Do you find yourself getting upset, disturbed, or distressed over the smallest things? Perhaps you know someone else who does. During times of stress, many of us have trouble restraining our emotions. The best way to reduce stress is to stop stressing about stress.
