A Little Antidote for Stress

We all handle stress in different ways. Some ways are healthy and some not so healthy. But however it is handled, we all need to deal with it from time to time. I will never forget hearing Dr. Amid Sood speak in a TEDx talk once. He described all these terrible things that had happened to him from cancer, to heart attacks, to strokes, it was a list that almost made you gasp that all of these things could happen to one person. He started the recitation by saying, "In my life I have experienced..." and then named each thing, ending with, "all in my head." Everyone in the audience laughed almost relieved, but then with a nod of knowing. We all have "gone there" with the worst that could happen, living it out in our minds. 

Our minds are powerful tools to make us imagine the worst that could happen. But we can capture the control of our minds with equally powerful tools to balance that dismal stress and replace it with a sense of peace and joy. 

Thanks for listening.
